Knew I should have clarified that.  :-)

They appear to focus nearly exclusively on PostgreSQL hosting, and not
much else.

Lots of places focus on being hosting providers... AND providing
database access as a feature.  pghoster.com appears to be an online
PostgreSQL database provider... AND provides other things as features.
The difference is in their apparent focus.  :-)

Well, so it seems.  Haven't heard any feedback from end users so I can't
tell for sure if the different focus actually has a tangible benefit or
is in fact for real.

Regards and best wishes,
