And regarding the host, is as shared as your VPS service on DreamHost. I've tried many hosts, not hostgator though, even Amazon ec2 offerings but it was too much me. Having the responsibility and control over my whole environment was not as fun as i thought it would be.
Working in a server with industry standard implementations and stable is really nice, less things to worry about, no need to worry about maintenance. This is exactly what i found in WebFaction, i think their service is unique. I wont lie, at first i was overwhelm and confused with all the new info and their complex setup. But im now hooked, in the best environment i've ever worked in. Here are their specifications http://www.webfaction.com/services/hosting But if you like the admin job and have't tried Amazon's ec2 you should give it a try. They have a free first year tier, is an experience to be have for sure. Sent from my iPhone On Apr 24, 2012, at 4:29 PM, Orthonormal <[email protected]> wrote: > WebFaction is shared hosting?
