GBWordpress Hosting With No 'Funny Business' Lightningbase offers a high quality, reliable Wordpress hosting service. Support is quick and helpful, and issues are resolved quickly. The behind the scenes options are stripped back and to-the-point. This makes it easy to navigate through options, but some people may find this too old fashioned. There is no built in ready-to-use staging environment for example, which needs to be constructed and deconstructed manually. For those interested, my plan with them runs on a shared Google Cloud Platform server, and has had almost no downtime at all in two years.

USBest SMB-level WordPress managed host… Best SMB-level WordPress managed host out there. I don't know why this host is so unknown. I had to move to a larger, enterprise-level host a while back, but this is the host I refer most clients running WordPress to. No wasteful bells and whistles, just fast and reliable.
