Just thought I would blog about our hosts, Webfaction, and give them the praise they deserve. I have this site and a couple of others hosted by Webfaction.
I always find the support to be quick, accurate, and comprehensive. They are willing to give advice even when it is quite technical.
They have been able to alert me to possible problems, particularly on the security aspect, and enable me to take action, and have been especially useful in helping me prevent future problems.
If I could sing a song about how Great they are, I would. Thanks you webfaction.
