Hosting change to WebFaction

The growing number of 404 errors, 500 errors and killed processes for updating our site is prompting a hosting switch from Dreamhost to WebFaction. I've just ported my personal site, and everything works great.

WebFaction, unlike Dreamhost, offers hosting tailored to Python applications like Knox'd, which runs on Django (a Python framework). The Django community loves WebFaction, as shown on the Django hosting site Django Friendly.

I'm going to try and move everything this weekend. If so, I'll post another message here informing everyone of the outage time. It could get bumpy.

If you're a Django user, and have any questions about using WebFaction for your hosting provider, let me know.
