AcuGIS is a company from Wilmington, Deleware their main products are PostGIS Hosting, GeoServer Hosting, Lizmap, and AcuGIS Hosting they claim to host government sites like NATO, U.S. Department of the Interior, research institutions, universities, and business in over 70 countries worldwide. AcuGIS offers 24x7x365 Support.

PostGIS pricing starts out at $19.00 a month using SSD hard drives and offers the choice to be hosted from the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, or Singapore, with no contract and a 14-day money-back guarantee and continuous backups, PostGIS, PostgreSQL, PgRouting, etc. Decent pricing and hardware.

GeoServers start out at $25.00 a month everything you need for your services/apps that require GEO locating but it is definitely not cheap in fact this service is pretty pricey they use SSD and Apache pretty much everything that PostGIS offers with a few extras on the software I would recommend to the owners of this company to lower the pricing some and changing regular SSD to NVMe hard drives and LiteSpeed/LSCache rather then apache for a speed boost and add a few things for security the minimum I would recommend would be Imunify360, and CDN ready integration but this is just me.

AcuGIS hosting starts out at $75.00 and again like above a few tweaks in the software but pretty much all around same hardware but again very pricey and I would recommend updating hardware, software, and pricing again this is just my 2 cents.
