Anybody that is looking for “WordPress hosting” probably doesn’t know enough about web servers to make a decision about who to host with. Although you did mention “optimized environments, developer tools and staging environments”, choosing a “WordPress hosting” host is probably just putting your site in a box. When I look at hosts, I consider things like PHP version, MySQL version, server type (Apache or Litespeed), if they allow SSH access, if they allow for FTPeS connections, what type of control panel the hosting plan comes with (cPanel, etc.), if they allow cron jobs, and other factors that are actually important.
To make the article better, you should have told us more about the “optimized environments, developer tools and staging environments”. For instance, even if you would have mentioned a single WordPress hosting type optimization that a host is offering, it would have added some substance to the article.
