While testing webfaction I had launched a very simple app that required login to use. No one was registering so no one was using anything other than the landing page. However, webfactiion continually killed my process for going over it's memory limits. When I asked what was causing this and what I could do to keep it under my account limit their reply was that this is a common occurrence with web2py apps. I really didn't have the necessary skills to get to the bottom of it, or the time to invest in acquiring them. I decided to self-host the app on RackSpace Cloud Servers. It was discouraging that a simple running app with no users or traffic would exhaust the allowed memory. I had their most basic plan which IIRC offers 256 Mb of ram.
