Hello everyone,

just wanted to introduce myself and ask a question ...

I am currently helping out a friend to set up a postgres database for 
his startup.
I have some postgres experience, but not so much with clusters/slony
Someone is suggesting a HA solution, and I do not have the time to wrap 
my head around it right know, not to mention support.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a host that offers turnkey solutions 
for clustered postgres hosting?
Our current provider answered my questions that they had heard of a 
client "who did this once". They had no idea what slony means. So I am 
not feeling so warm and fuzzy about them.

Thank you in advance for any pointers!

Kind Regards

Matthias
