I've had good luck with webfaction. I've only been using them for a couple months, but the one time I had an issue they were very quick to respond.
They're big on Django and I guess Ruby (don't use it). No problems getting a Django site up and running. No issues installing packages or other software in my user account.

- djb_hackernews 16y agoSeconding webfaction.Been with them over a year. Have 3 small Django apps running and it is a breeze to set up. The support is above and beyond. I was trying to use a python script that needed had a dependency on a python library that had a dependency on a specific version of a c library. I posted my problem in the forum and got step by step command line instructions to get that going.
- j_baker 16y agoIndeed. Webfaction is great for a budget plan. But it isn't an actual VPS. You can do most of the stuff you'd want to do with a VPS, but you don't get root access. Plus, their higher-level plans aren't that great.
- mbenjaminsmith 16y agoThat's right. I'm in the habit of conflating VPS with shared hosting.
