Lightbulb Best Hosting Comapany for WordPress

I just wanted to get some feedback from the group. I currently have 2 blogs on Blogger.com. But I've heard that you have more blog features and themes with WordPress. Which hosting company out there has the best rates for hosting a WordPress site?

Thanks!

I am going to chime in and mention Hawk Host Bloggeries turned me onto them, and I have not had one issue, and when I did, from my own lack of knowledge, they were quick and helpful. Very reasonable costs as well!

I have a blog hosted at BlueHost (I will not put my affiliate link, for not to bother Bob ). You have a lot of stuff in the control panel. And it's affordable too.

When I had an issue with something I did not understand, they were on it immediately.. somehow my old wordpress.com blog reverted back to the old dns servers. They helped within a matter of mintues..

Sorry for the confusion

Before to sign with any hosting company. Do your homework, search about them on google for negative and positive feedback. If they have too many complaint don't sign with them. Also when you found your hosting company, look for coupon that have a discount. Many hosting company do that to attract buyer. Best offer mean nothing, because if you look at a long term. Your hosting company can be your worse enemy. Trust me! Shop like you buying a car!

Thumbs up Thanks for the feedback

I'm pretty familiar with web hosting and have used 1&1.com for years. However I have seen hosting companies that specifically support WordPress. It would probably serve me to visit the WordPress website and do some reasearch. Just wanted to see what some of the personal favorites were out there. Feel free to keep commenting because it's going to be a few weeks. I'm starting a new job plus going to school full-time so need to find some free time.

I guess whenever these questions are asked, I am the only one using godaddy

(if you search the we you will get a lot of negative feedback about them)

I use their deluxe and premium plans as its more cost effective for me as I tend to host quite a few with each plan I buy

I never had a problem, just one day in November when digg killed my bandwidth

At godaddy you have an easy wordpress install option where you dont need to do it manually.

I have been with LunarPages for about 2 years now and I am very happy with them.
Recently I added a few more sites and I went with GoDaddy to try them out. No problems there but I like the interface with LunarPages better.
