I'd happily continue to use my current, more expensive, hosting provider if they weren't phasing out support for compiling your own applications with their system, which means that I'll be losing PostgreSQL support because they only support MySQL officially.

a2hosting.com shows "unlimited" plans which include Postgres 8.4 (tsearch already included) for about $5/month. If you really need an older version, they might be willing to add your account to an older shared server. I know they used to have contrib tsearch installed with older versions.
