How to find web hosting that meets my requirements?
We're looking for a good place to host our custom Django app (a fork of OSQA) and its postgresql backend. Requirements include:
Linux
Python 2.6 or (ideally) Python 2.7
Django 1.2
Postgres 8.4 or later
DB backup/restore handled by the hoster, not us
OS & dev-platform-stack patching/maintenance handled by the hoster, not us
SSH access (so we can pull source code from GitHub, so we can install python eggs, etc.)
ability to set up cron jobs (e.g. to send out dail email updates)
ability to send up to 10K emails/day
good performance (not ganged up with a zillion other sites on one CPU, not starved for RAM)
FTP or SCP access to web logs
dedicated public IP
SSL support
Costs under 00/month for a relatively small site (<5M pageviews/month)
Good customer service
We already have a prototype site running on EC2 on top of a Bitnami DjangoStack. The problem is that we have to patch the OS, patch postgres, etc.
We'd really prefer a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering, like Heroku offers for Rails apps, where all we need to worry about is deploying our code instead of worrying about system software patching and maintenance. Google App Engine is closest to what we're looking for, but they don't offer relational DB access (not yet at least).
Anyone have a recommendation?

Just wanted to point out that BitNami now offers a cloud hosting option with on-click deployment, automated backups, ssh access, etc. bitnami.org/cloud
Sure of course, totally understood. I was more comfortable going over the capabilities rather then mentioning the names however yes all of the content makes the site and i'll keep that in mind next time I respond to submissions.
My recommendations are here
Rackspace - rackspace.com, TX based large and easy to use, great cloud interface, no database support with basic service. vmware service available, most affordable service.
Amazon - aws.amazon.com, WA based and similar to rackspace with added database services at extra costs per service. most expensive service
Logicworks - logicworks.net, NY company offering infiniCloud and VMware clouds with managed database services and no contracts or activation fees.
I think a web hosting user review site may be more appropriate for this, but since these questions don't seem to be going away or being closed, I will say that any VPS or managed hosting offer all of these features. And pretty much any decent web host will offer all of these features except for PostgreSQL even on shared hosting.
DreamHost, for example, provides everything in your list except for PostgreSQL in their shared hosting plan. And you can just use Amazon RDS for the PostgreSQL database.
