Webfaction.com - $9.95 monthly (cheaper with longer commitment).
Run by serious techies. Nginx as a frontend-server, Apache/whatever you want on the backend. MySQL, Postgres, whatever for a DB. Python (Django is a one-click install), Ruby, whatever. Long-running processes. Cron jobs. Better-than-average admin panel.
All in all, a great hosting company for smaller sites.
I'm not a shill, just a happy customer. I have several customers' websites there.
