About $8.60/month with a 3 year buy in. Not bad.

I will try one for a few weeks and see what kind of performance it provides.

I was hoping that Heroku's new PostgreSQL service would be a good option for a hosted easy to use database but I have lots of small projects and Heroku's offerings are per database not per virtualized database server.

I could potentially use a hosted postgres solution, i just tried to go to heroku's site to look at what they've got. their homepage is currently an error message saying "no application is configured for this hostname". That certainly inspires confidence.
