GoGrid offers both Windows and Linux Cloudhosting and their tech support is extremely responsive.  While they don't specifically offer PostgreSQL/PostGIS, this is something
you can install yourself easily and people are beginning to build community images for.

 * [http://www.devisland.net Development Island] Offers PostGIS hosting

 * [http://www.linode.com 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.
