Best Hosting for WordPress ?

[Clubliks]

I run about 8 WordPress sites. Some are more complex than others (1 is moderately intensive). I would like to host all my sites on the same platform, rather than have 1 here, 1 there, etc. I can spend up to $40 a month on hosting. So a few questions:

1) Are there any "premium" shared/cloud hosting platforms out there (I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but some shared hosts are better than others).
2) Should I look at Managed WordPress solutions? Any recommendations?

I am looking to upgrade to something more WordPress friendly. I pre-paid for a year and it runs out in January so I have several months to find a new host or renew (currently paying about 26/month).

Thanks!

I can recommend you try to compare rates, features, compatibility, performance, and reliability.

Nice website hosting solutions (wordpress-friendly) offered by these web hosts:

 - Tzulo.com

 - Cloudarion.com

 - Ipage.com

They've done a great job at evaluating the competition and narrowing it down to a handful of highly qualified services.

I have been with Greenwebpage.com cloud VPS hosting for the last 5 months and everything works really good. Recommended.

I've had to contact support a few times and on all occasions my questions was answered very promptly.

Hope everything keeps going the same way and I do not have problems like what I've had with some other hosts.

Why not give hostingsource.com hosting a try?

Most of the time I deal with this web host, my server and network uptime is as promised - 99.9%.

Well, the speed of my sites is pretty good, pages load fast and I'm quite happy with this.

QHoster.com and luxhosting.lu plans are reliable and solid enough to sign up with.

They are  the most reliable hosts I have used. Unlike many other hosts, with them everything just works and you're not wasting time trying to figure things out. Things happen quickly and effectively.

They are always ready to help. Thanks Hostforweb.com team! For instance, this morning, my web junior over wrote one of my sites files with a different sites files. I mailed them in desperation, got a reply within 5 minutes, and then the whole thing sorted in 10. This is a top service.

Other hosts I've used promise a lot before you are a customer, but when you hit a snag their support usually consists of referring you to their knowledge base ...beyond that they want to charge you.

The best Wordpress hosting providers are: QHoster.com and Integralhost.net.

The technical support at them is always great. Their prices are on the high end for the overall service, however.

Good experience with  netshop-isp.com.cy  web hosting provider. Now I have faster speed connectivity and everything works like a clock.

I had my full site online and at 100% steam within 2 hours. Tech support is friendly, helpful, and accurate. It rates at the top of my list for a satisfying experience.
