Webfaction has always been awesome for me. The only problem I had with them was regarding SFTP extra users permissions, but they already addressed that.
I'm not into advanced stuff, so I don't know how it performs on that shit.

1TB for less than $12/month? Good luck.

Or in the ballpark. Mediatemple, you can get a deal for that @1TB, current host, which i paid $6 w/deal for 600GB, host before that, with deal/at $5 had "unlimited" - which did ring true.
From experience of 10 years, $12/month is max for shared. 2006 I was paying $10, most I ever paid. Usually 5-9. The one host that i had for over 7 years was great, unlimited. never a problem. Solid until they started cramming accounts on shared servers over the past few years, which caused an annual "problem" where I had to get my account moved to another server. That solved the problem and they actually had good people aboard until they started flipping their staff and outsourcing.
But looking around, 1TB is not unreasonable for $12.. not that much today at all. 600G-1TB -in that range.

You can always get lower deals with shared hosts for multiple years.

"From experience of 10 years, $12/month is max for shared"
- I mean this from the perspective that there is a limit for what shared hosting is worth period... or you upgrade up. By todays standards 1TB is not a huge amount. That is why mediatemple for example lists their full retail at $20-, because anything over that you might as well go VPS. there's a limit.

I guess I look at that rate for that much storage, and I see AWS ($30/month for 1TB) or Dropbox ($10/month for 1TB). I don't see actual web hosting for that price.

https://www.linode.com/pricingDigitalOcean is my current favorite. I've got ~12 servers with them last count.

Also, fuck shared hosting. Virtual Private Servers or cloud based is where it's at. Install debian...updates are as easy as...
"sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
