Was with webfaction for 3 years, always having problems with over selling their shared servers. I actually ended up writing a script to monitor and send a notice to the support when the load went too high. They swore up and down that they monitored such things, but I had to include the offending processes frequently. If you search the support forums you'll find my script.
I switched over to a dedicated VPS at vps.net for another few years, but the price got to me after a while. It was great having my own host so to speak (root and all) but in the end I couldn't justify the cost. Now I'm using amazon's AWS and have been for almost a year. The cost is right for me, and since I don't need a 24/7 web presence I shutdown my instances from time to time to save some money. What I like most about AWS is the amount of customization in their services, need load balancing or storage, just add it and manage it yourself. They also have a free service to check out, one micro instance which is plenty enough to run a web server from.
