One machine to run httpd + php and a separate machine for postgres is very common and highly recommended.
For safety, I would recommend using a private network (192.168.0.*) to connect the two machines, so your DB machine does not even have a public IP address. Ideally, use gigabit between the two machines.
Be sure you configure your pg_hba.conf properly too.

Hi, all,
I want to set up a web site using apache httpd, php and postgresql. From the performance point of view, which architecture is better? 1) Run httpd and postgresql on the same machine; 2) Run postgresql on seperate machine. My concern is that the machine I am going to run httpd has limitted storage. I am expecting the increasing of postgresql database once I set it ip.
Any suggestions and comments will be highly appreciated.
