Looking for a reliable, easy-install WordPress host?

I've talked with a lot of WordPress bloggers about the host they use (and have had experience with several myself). I've added that up into one easy-to-follow review. I hope it helps people here looking to take their blog to the next step:

I have some other wordpress web hosts that I would like to toss into the mix:
A Small Orange www.asmallorange.com/hosting/shared/
Blue Host www.bluehost.com/track/wp/one
DreamHost www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?automattic
JustHost stats.justhost.com/track?c46d39fbe6aaa3b2c2ac57a1a4581a484
Laughing Squid laughingsquid.net/
Media Temple mediatemple.net/go/ref/?affkey=YWZmaWxpYXRlPTIyUDNkSVFPeXU

Good discussion topic. I believe some other members will also have some suggestions to make as well.

JustHost is actually my #3 choice. I think it is the cheapest-best one (if you follow).

I write about Media Temple, too. Some people find it inconvenient. In any case, it is $20 a month. Even people who like it wouldn't say it is 3 times better than one of a number of hosts that cost $7 a month.

I'm not too family with Small Orange. I think the other hosts you mentioned are good too. The question is: What's the absolutely best for a WordPress blog . . . that's what I tried answer.

  I think you did a very good job on your review.
  
  I've been a wordpress blogger since 2006. One of my domains is hosted by A Small Orange and I'm very happy with them. Their support is 24/7 and is absolutely excellent. Their features are everything I need and more. And I'm paying only $25. per year with a 2 month discount for paying up front.
