Django Aware: Goodbye WebFaction Django Hosting - A Reflection

I recently also got started with webfaction. I love how easy it is to deploy anything. 90% of any framework or package can be rolled out and installed in minutes. The only thing I wished they offered was a backup service. Where I could schedule a backup. it would then backup everything and host a zip on my hosting that I could download or delete. That is the only feature I miss from my old hosting.

I've been with WebFaction for over a year and they totally rock! I watched their control panel demo and I instantly got the hang of it. I was able to get my Rails site going in under 20 minutes. When you think about it, separating applications from URLs the way they've done it makes total sense and I couldn't live without it anymore :)

BTW, when I first saw the title of this post I thought you left WebFaction because you weren't happy with them. I had to read the post to understand that this wasn't the case.

The beauty w/ webfaction was that I was able to change a few things via a ssh shell to put in place django's svn version and use my own python version. You have lots of leeway even in a shared environment.
