[postgis-users] Postgis Availability on Website or Cloud?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

I have been running a hostgis server for about a year using it for 
mapserver and postgis. Works great and I have been very happy with them.

I think what Bob is looking for is more like an application built on top 
of the database.

But if you look at the problem as you just need a small or large server 
with postgres/postgis running on it - then hostgis should work great.
