PostGIS Hosters ¶

List of hosters that people run PostGIS on and are happy with. Note many of these are standard ISPs or standard Cloud Hosting providers with no specific expertise in PostgreSQL/PostGIS, but people like them for the price, speed, and or support for their work loads.

• ​HostGIS offers both PostGIS and UMN Mapserver - See recommendation ​from Bruce Rindahl and ​David Fawcett

• ​Hub.org also the hosters of the PostgreSQL core website - See recommendation from ​Sean Montague

• ​Linode Cloudhosting This is a cloud hosting provider that we know a couple of people running PostgreSQL/PostGIS on and are happy with. We have one client that runs on this and price/support/speed are happy with it. They offer many Linux OS to choose from but offer no Windows hosting.
