+1 For that. I really love webfaction and it was the best idea to go with that as I didn't know at first how to configure my server. It has great "default" configuration and practices. Also, as Mike said, the customer support is great if not the best I've seen. And, as you'll become better at configuring your stuff and will want more control over all the nifty details, you could then switch to a vps. Also, don't forget that Heroku now support more platform.. in fact, everything python is supported, but the platform is strong enough to support anything.. even if it's not as userfriendly as the ruby or python way.
