Best Wordpress hosting?

Hi,

Any recommendations for the very best Wordpress hosting?

I am with GoDaddy - I have 31 sites with them - and the speed is too slow, it's expensive to get an SSL and the plans are very expensive.

I need a hosting company who will do the technical bits for me, so something user friendly. Also need SSLs, regular backups etc.

Siteground seem good, anyone used them? Or can personally recommend another company?

Thanks

Hello, Holly,

During the last 30 days or so, research for a shared hosting company was a top priority until Nate Shivar and his essays and critiques were discovered.

Dated July 3, 2017, the second Shivar essay is titled, "InMotion Hosting Review: 6 Pros & 4 Cons of InMotion Hosting." (https://www.shivarweb.com/3008/inmotion-hosting-review/) An excerpt from that post:

"Here’s what I’ve found to be the pros and cons & full InMotion Hosting review based on my experience there and at other providers as a customer & consultant.

"Disclosure – I receive referral fees from any companies mentioned in this post. All my opinions and data are from my own experience as a paying customer or consultant to a paying customer."

Well, I kinda took a deep breath once I realized InMotion might be the place for me to settle one day. And, here's hoping the above has been helpful.
