Which site?
There are dozens of companies in that business. If you look in the
back of any issue of EE Times, Electronic Products, etc., you will
find the ads.
I personally have good experience with PCB Pool (for a 4-layer board,
not dense but with fine detail for surface mount parts). They are
interesting in that they can accept not just Gerber files, but also
Eagle CAD files, which are easier to work with if that's the tool
you're using. (And a limited version of Eagle CAD is available for
the download. It's pretty nice.)
A lot of those outfits will do the cutting with a router to produce
whatever board outline you need, which is good for stuff like SIMM
boards. Gold plated fingers may be an issue, though; I haven't seen
those. (Then again I wasn't looking for them.) Plain old tin plate
may be ok.
