Wouldn't a hosted database really only "make sense" if you don't want sharding? It's a lot easier to shard at the front end before it makes it to any business logic than to do that and also shard the database. It's when you don't want to deal with database sharding at all that you'd want all application instances to hit the same hosted database.
