Microsoft has their SQL Azure service but, as of right now, they do not support FT (although SQL Server has robust support for FT). My assumption is that this will be supported in the coming few years though - FT is becoming a must for many BI situations and BI has been driving the MSFT SQL Server team for almost a decade.

Also, since a lot of companies host SQL Server (Amazon, Rackspace, etc), it's possible that they support SQL Server's FT service. http://aws.amazon.com/rds/sqlserver/#features http://aws.amazon.com/rds/sqlserver/#features
