Great Post, however I do know of another host that offers fantastic Wordpress blog hosting, and are very reasonable in price. They even install Wordpress for free for customers who are less tech swavy.
$2.99 a month and the hosting company is http://www.visionthishosting.com I been with them for several years now, and they are A1.
Sincerly,

Thanks for the recommendation Daniella. The price is nice and the speed of your blog seems pretty fast. I will definitely add them to my list of WordPress hosts to test in the future.

It is also easy to backup and transfer all your websites from one server to another server if you have cPanel installed.,.
