Best Hosting for WordPress?
 

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).
Any info on these web hosts: kvchosting.net and hostnamaste.com ? Are they trustworthy?
What host is better?

Thanks!

100% sure that Hostnamaste.com OpenVZ VPS will be good choice. The pricing is low, and the customer service is amazing. High-speed server performance. Dedicated and passionate customer support + useful tools for the website!

I found hostnamaste.com OpenVZ VPS web host and all has been great.. The mail system works great, and their MySQL servers work better than any we have tried to date. They are always willing to take that extra step. I look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with them.

I can say that I'm glad to deal with HostNamaste KVM VPS hosting services. The control panel (Plesk) is easy to use and intuitive as well as the account and billing interface. Recommended.

Services from legionbox.com and libertyvps.net are worth every cent you pay for their services.
They are the most responsive when you contact them about some technical issues-- they contact you within minutes of your request and even went so far as to instruct you step-by-step about settings for your iPhone! I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a dependable host site with responsive, technical and 'real people' support.

I've learned so much since moving my site to kvchosting.net SSD web host, and everything I've learned has been used to improve my site and add a bunch of new features that would not have been possible at my old Windows hosting service. Easy to use, friendly interface. :cool:

It is a great discussion about the best hosting for WordPress websites.

KVChosting.net and hostsailor.com services are decent and reliable enough to stick to.
I have chosen them because they offered the following features that put me at ease I liked as well as other freebies.
24/7 technical support
30-day money-back guarantee
Free daily backups and many others.
