Makes me think "All your base are belong to us"... And that's some serious retro stuff when you go there... "All your base are belong to us" was a popular Internet meme based on a broken English phrase found in the opening cutscene of the 1992 Mega Drive port of the 1989 arcade video game

I pretty much concur with Joe. Postgres is more open source for Enterprise. For a little website MySQL would be fine... You won't need things postgres has like clustering etc. Also the database won't be complex or large enough to really require any serious normalization. I'd make the primary

Dreamhost is a great place, I have used them for years. They have a lot of options for building web sites. As for databases I'll take them in the order od Postgresql, Mysql or if I don't need the power of a server (90% case) sqlite (www.sqlite3.org). The latter is very easy to use from within
