I have hosted with eApps (http://www.eapps.com/) for a while, they
employ the virtual machine concept using parallels. The developer
category of service plan may you get a "machine" and you get to be
root. PostgreSQL, PHP, Java (including application containers such as
Tomcat and JBoss) and so on are available. I find them reasonably
priced. On the linux server they give you you may further
install/build an software of your choice including maybe another
instance of the latest PostgreSQL.
