Our VPS technology gives you the benefits of your own private server including root access without paying the price of a dedicated machine. Each VPS performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server for its users and applications- it can be rebooted independently and has its own root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files.

I've been using JC for almost 5 years, very happily. dpaste.com is hosted there (including the Mercurial mirror of Django branches), as is my blog and lots of other little projects.
I liked it so much that I moved our sites at work from RackSpace to a JC instance as well.
As with most VPS offerings there's really nothing Django-specific about what they do -- they just give you the tools to set things up exactly the way you want. I currently use Apache and
mod_python, and have been testingmod_wsgi. On my personal instance, I run my own mailserver (Postfix). For work, we use webmail.us.Stability has generally been excellent; I've had uptimes in the hundreds of days. Over the years they've occasionally had problems with hard crashes, but in the worst case I simply said "please move my instance to a more stable box" and they did.
As others will tell you, tech support is responsive and knowledgeable. Because this is a product for experienced users, you deal directly with techs, not people who work from a script.
FreeBSD is a great server OS and JC really knows FreeBSD. They offer Linux as well, but I haven't used that service.
