I run several WordPress sites. Some are more complex than others (1 is moderately intensive).
I'd 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. (currently paying about $25/month).
Any honest and reliable host?
Thanks!

Business-Specific Hosting. If you need hosting for a business, choose business-oriented providers with better uptime, backups, and customer support.

 

Linux vs. Windows Hosting. Choose Linux hosting for PHP, MySQL, and open-source applications. Opt for Windows hosting if you need ASP.NET or Microsoft technologies. Try Hosticon.com shared hosting. The Code: TRYAT$1 - Try Web Hosting $1 for 3 Months.

 

Find out what security measures are taken by the hosting provider to secure data. The hosting provider you choose should have proper security processes in place (SSL certificates etc.) to protect any sensitive data. Fully satisfied using GTHost.com vps solutions.
