I want to thank everyone that replied on this. Derek's suggestion of GAE is intriguing and I am at least going to check it out - I'm a little weary of that persistence situation with GAE since I don't have any experience with JDO or JPA. However, if GAE does not work out, I like the Mosso approach suggested by Tim below. This app has very minimal bandwidth requirements so I suspect Mosso will be cheaper than Slicehost. Thanks again!
