Ah yes - that's what it was. To use Django (or most other frameworks)
you need some processes to be running more or less constantly, as
opposed to in a CGI context. Your typical shared Webhosting service
is sharing a single machine or VM with lots of other customers; they
can't allow long-running processes or the whole thing would grind to a
halt. I have no idea how Webfaction manages it, especially with a
starting price of $5.50/month - it's very tempting...
For the time being I'm not looking to move any sites over - but if the
need arises again, Webfaction will be the first place I check out.
Actually, my own website is a few years overdue for a facelift - maybe
I'll dump Joomla for Django. Perhaps then I'd actually be interested
enough to maintain the damn thing.

Webfaction supports long processes and that is why they are the largest
Django hosting site. They support a ton of software, too. SVN, Trac
are two I use.
I've been with them at least 3 years and I find their cost amazing for
what I get! Their documentation, support and forums are about the best
I've seen.
