For those that visit here often, you'll notice a small change to the left hand side bar over there. The fine folks over at pgHoster.com have decided to help us out a bit around here and promote their services to the developer community.
I'd been looking for someone to get some ad space with is for a while, but I knew that if it didn't interest you all, then it wouldn't work - and just be annoying. So, I figured they would be a the perfect match. They offer low priced, reliable PostgreSQL hosting for your site with several different plans to choose from. Here's a bit about the company from them:
Through the swarm of mySQL junkies, Austin, Texas-based pgHoster was formed in the early part of 2002 in an effort to provide targeted web hosting to those that are interested in using PostgreSQL as their primary database of choice. Lightweight, feature-rich, and -most importantly- open source, PostgreSQL easily rivals as a cost effective alternative to Oracle and MS SQL Server.
Our secondary mission is to educate developers about PostgreSQL's rich feature set (such as transactional support, views, functions, and triggers) and ACID compliance so that they may be able to construct more atomic, production-quality web applications. Letting people know that PostgreSQL exists and that there is one affordable hosting option available to them should allow developers to make that final leap.
So, I hope that this will be interesting to all of you out there - and I know that their services are just what some of you out there would need (seriously, check out their plans..).
