+ great control panel, great support, feature rich,
many auxiliary services available.
+ I am very happy with them.
- Personally, my experience with webfaction WAS NOT GOOD.
My web2py websites, often were slow or down.
- recently changed my 20 web2py apps from webfaction.
~ is very nice if you have only one low traffic website.
+ I have a webfaction account with around 3-4 apps at the
cheapest plan which is really low and it works very well.
Until now, a great experience with them, almost 2 years.
