Today I also ended up setting up my webfaction account with a few friends of mine. We mainly decided to move there because of dreamhost's policy against long running processes. Don't get me wrong! Dreamhost is a dream hosting company with super cheap plans with tons of storage and bandwidth. But myself and some of my friends have taken quite an interest in learning python as of late. It seems a lot of their web frameworks (mainly pylons and django) involve running some sort of python WSGI "middleware" to communicate between webservers and the actual web applications. At any rate, this was a nightmare to try and get running properly dreamhost. Webfaction seems to be more than python friendly, so we'll see how it goes!
