Depends on how much you want to pay, and exactly how much control you want, but one of these should sort you out.

* WPEngine

* Linode

* Bytemark (Big V)

* Rackspace Cloud

* DigitalOcean



We just issued a $10 promo code today on Twitter for anyone that is interested in trying out DigitalOcean. Promo Code: DIVEIN10


I created an account and entered the promo code. Will the credit in my account expire? I'm asking because I'll only have time to play with DO in a couple of months.

Thanks!


I'm very happy with the service, and I would recommend it to anyone who's a bit more capable in configuring their needs.


Just second-opinioning this one: I've run Wordpress sites on WPEngine (awesome, just awesome) and Linode (great servers, obviously don't have the complete-hassle-removal factor of WPEngine).

I've run other sites on DigitalOcean (superb) and BigV (been a client of theirs for a decade now - also superb).


one of the founders of WP Engine here - just wanted to thank you for your kind words.


No worries - your service kicks ass. I like not having to manage my WP installs :)


Just FYI, Gandi.net is also offering a free "Simple Hosting" virtual instance for a month with code NODADDY. Size "S", valid for a week.
