Any good WordPress web hosting?

[Cubic]

Hello! I just got a new eCommerce theme for wordpress, now I need to find a good web hosting to use Wordpress.org with. 

They recommend the ones on this list: http://get.wp.com/hosting/

I can't decide on which one I should choose, can anyone give me some help/tell me their personal experience with these web hosting businesses? Thank you!

I would just go with any typical web host and install it properly. I would advise against anything advertising "1 click install" or "auto-installation". You're going to be paying a premium for a system that is often flawed. Shared hosting is insecure for something serious like web commerce (you can be hacked through a flaw in somebody else's website, as I was), so you'll need at the very least a VPS. Depending on your usage, you could go with Linode.com for that if you know what you're doing.

I've been using dreamhost (basic plan) but I have performance issues when I'm logged in as admin.


I recently bought a year worth of hosting for $5 with this company http://buyshared.net/shared-cpanel-hosting/


and have liked it so far.


You only get 1 gig of space and 100 GB of bandwidth a month, but I've never had that volume of traffic.


If those aren't enough you might try the $10 or $15 plans.

I used BlueHost for quite a while. They have a dedicated Wordpress hosting service but it is rather pricy. They also provide e-mail and a bunch of other stuff. Amazing customer service! just amazing. Nothing to complaing there.

Try 1and1, so far the best in my opinion. It has its own control panel unlike other hosts use generic cPanel.
