It depends what you mean by âbest hostingâ.
But, http://wpengine.com/ is really good in term of speed, reliability, etc. Itâs entirely based on hosting WP. But, itâs not free either 
What the WP people donât tell you is that they built a CPU intensive suite which often exceeds the âquotasâ established by âfair useâ policies on typical, low end websites.
The solution for WP (applies to Wordpress, Joomla, Magento, Drupal and E-Commerce) is to find a host which knows the additional requirements for these CMSâs and accounts for them by limiting the number of users on the shared server. WebHostingBuzz does this (view the appropriate account by linking to http://www.webhostingbuzz.com/ then finding the CMS at the BOTTOM of the page (http://www.webhostingbuzz.com/wordpress-hosting.php for WP). They have different level accounts for small users through a VPS if youâre running a massive number of WP websites. I had a Drupal account for a client of mine and the only problem he had was of his own creation (not keeping his Drupal up to date - a common problem with CMSâs). I have two other accounts with WHB and know that their hardware and software are up-to-date but their âgemâ is their support staff.
Since Iâm not aware of any other host which offers CMS-tailored hosting accounts, I canât make any comparisons but you canât make me move my accounts from WHB!

I donât find that best of websites and review websites are the most help any longer. If you scroll down to the bottom of these sites you will find on some a disclaimer that some sort of compensation was passed along for adding the company on the list. Not always the case but most top ten sites of this sort will have them.
A much better way to judge web hosting providers and their services is by the level of their support, 24/7/365 the type of contacts you can use, phone, live chat and ticketing, all of these should be in place and their uptime. Hosting is a competitive market and the longevity of a host can be a factor in their quality.
Hostgator or godaddy both are good for webhosting.
Why?
cp,
Good question! I believe that the answer is that both the named âhostsâ have had such terrible reputations that nobody will use them. To me, that says that Irvin1 is a shill from one or the other âhostâ or a newbie who doesnât know any better.
Irvin1 - sorry for what may appear to be an attack on you but Iâve been the TL here for years and monitored too many complaints against both companies to count (except that GoDaddy is apparently a good registrar). Nothing personal - REALLY! - just my perception from years in this board and a warning to other members who havenât been here very long.
Regards,
DK

Hostgator is the best for wordpress website hosting.
Please explain why? We can all make generic statements like that, it is the why that separates us out from the frivolous fluff. Without a why, the user canât possibly use your response to make their decision.
Why was Hostgator the best wordpress website hosting for you? Do they have a one-click install with automatic updates? Do they provide top of the line support? Do they help you set it up in a way so it doesnât feel bogged down? What makes them special?
In my experience Nexcess(http://www.nexcess.net/) offer the best service in PHP hosting, excellent support, the serverâs never overloaded, and the performance is amazing for magento, wordpress or expressionengine.
A bit ironic, but I hope your site isnât using them.
JustHost is considered the top web hosting provider today because thereâs hardly anything negative about their service. It simplifies the process of website building and if youâre starting out with your business, then JustHost is the best choice. One good thing about this hosting service is their 24/7 live support which can help you with your queries. For a low price, you can get the most out of this web hosting provider.
I donât know about Godaddy but being a Hostgator customer for about 6 years now, I really canât see how anyone can reccomend this company. What is it to be likable there⌠the 30 hours queue for an answer in a Trouble Ticket? The three major incidents in three years, leading to 24-48 h of downtime ?
Thanks everyone, the OP hasnât returned since starting this topic so itâs safe to assume theyâve made a decision by now and have moved on.
