I would use Linode VPS. Used WebFaction before however I quickly run into a wall where server was running out of resources when attempting to run 3-4 django sites from one account --- so skip the training wheels and go VPS.
Linode has an unbeatable help center - http://library.linode.com/ and great customer service. Use this link please if you do sign up with them, I'll get a small kick back :) http://www.linode.com/?r=7d884fa5262b62b8735502da003fee34061db49b Be VERY careful of other VPS providers as not all are equal - you pay for what you get. Linode runs on XEN virtualization (very close to hardware) in which for one you can create a swap space. Burst.net which we also tried runs on OpenVZ (a super chroot like enviroment) does not allow swap space; this means you sites will be killed if it exceeds you memory limits, unacceptable and too unpredictable. Also I would strongly suggest stick to a simple setup, Sqlite3 + Apache (on instance both for django and static serving). In my experience majority of sites will be happy with that site and you will KNOW when you need to a more complex setup. Sqlite3 is solid for read operations, and only starts choking on a large parallel write requests, Apache is tried and true and just works, NGINX sounds great but why complicate things for some therotical speed gains; most your bottle necks will be in your code not the server. There is only one project that I have considered using something else the Sqlite3 with over 600 active users; over the 2 years the site did not once generate a Sqlite3 write time out error or performed poorly. Lastly Sqlite3 makes it is a zip to copy from development server to live server since the database is a file. Our development is a mirror copy of the live server. So deployment is a matter of copying the site to live server and switching to live mode; also all of the projects are as self contained as possible with PIP, keeping settings files and raw media files with project folder. Sample apache conf and wsgi files - http://dpaste.com/726790/, http://dpaste.com/726792/.
