WebFaction

What do you like best?

Webfaction is a streamlined hosting environment that gives developers quick and easy access to all of the things that they need to do the most. For a managed host, the price is right and they give you the right tools, without getting in the way.

What do you dislike?

WebFaction recently entered into a partnership with GoDaddy and they've started promoting GoDaddy's products. GoDaddy is like the anti-thesis of WebFaction, loaded with junk, promotions, and scams, and I'm worried about how that will influence their product in the future.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I mostly use WebFaction for hosting client's small personal websites, either on Node or PHP/Apache/MySQL.
