I use hub.org.   I get a VPS with root for a very reasonable cost, and can
install whatever I like, but they will install common things for me, if I
ask.   They also have PostgreSQL in addition to MySQL, which was the
tipping point that got me there.  It is $6/month for the really basic
plan, or $14 for the cool one.   If you get in early at the beginning of
the month, they give away a few of the $6 accounts each month, with one
year free.
