During the last weeks I have been looking for web hosting companies offering Postgresql 8.
This is what I found:
* www.radixhosting.com (reseller cpanel accounts + rvskins!)
* www.a2hosting.com (reseller cpanel accounts)
* www.4java.ca (on Plesk)
I am currently a user of a2hosting.com and everything seems to work fine ...

Be sure to post a full review of a2hosting.com after a month or two of using their services. :)

After 2 months of using A2Hosting, I can tell you that uptime was 100%
and speed was also very good. My customers were telling me that
their sites now fly :) Anyway I didn't stop looking for better
alternatives.
So now I will have to stop using their services and move elsewhere
because of:
* They don't have rvskins, I need it because some of my customers
don't understand english and need a spanish control panel...
* They use SSL for webmail and control panel (Cpanel) URLs, although
that is a good security measure, a customer could easily now where
the SSL certificate come from, and know that we are an A2Hosting
customer. Me, as most people looking for reseller accounts, want
the most anonymous reseller account possible.
* Support is helpful, however support tickets are not responded as
fast as I am used to.
* They have Posgresql 8.1x, although it is enough for most situations
the new provider I found uses the last version 8.2.x
What is the provider I am moving over? Radixhosting.com :)

One of the few reviews I've read about a2hosting that had some real details.
* Support is helpful, however support tickets are not responded as fast as I am used to.Can you provide some approximate numbers?
Would it also be possible to send a domain you're hosting with them to the moderating team, via http://www.webhostingtalk.com/report.php?p=4974887? Thank you!

Well, maybe the time is not so long, but once you get used to
10 minutes (or less) replies from Servint, Powervps, and
now Radixhosting, it can turn you in a very demanding customer :)
Here are the times:

In this particular last question I asked about restoring a Postgresql database backup, they suggested me to use the Database Wizard in CPanel, but Database Wizard only works with MySQL, so I had to send a second ticket.

Thank you for the details albatroz. I can confirm that you've also provided a subdomain still hosted by a2hosting.com.
