Trustworthy web hosting for Wordpress sites (over 10) ?

[Chersont]

I run about 8 WordPress sites. Some are more complex than others (1 is moderately intensive). I would like to host all my sites on the same platform, rather than have 1 here, 1 there, etc. I can spend up to $40 a month on hosting. So a few questions:

1) Are there any "premium" shared/cloud hosting platforms out there (I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but some shared hosts are better than others).
2) Should I look at Managed WordPress solutions? Any recommendations?

I am looking to upgrade to something more WordPress friendly. I pre-paid for a year and it runs out in January so I have about 2 months to find a new host or renew (currently paying about 26/month).

Any info Hostnamaste.com website hosting solutions? What host would be better to deal with ? Why?

Thanks!

Take a look at a good alternative - hostingsource.com website hosting solutions. A nice web host with fast servers in the USA.
Just choose the host that suits your needs and provides constant and uninterrupted services and support.

Currently I host my wordpress blog at Hostnamaste.com web hosting account. Great uptime and speed.
They have live chat to help if you get stuck. I think I finally found a hosting service I'll keep for a very very long time!

In addition to good pricing, uptime and support, hostingsource.com also provides a very nice control panel with a large list of functions some of which cost extra at other hosting providers. They are always right on top of everything that I needed.

I can add that hostnamaste.com is very good hosting provider so far. Sites are always up and run as fast.
There is always a very intelligent person on the other end of live chat who takes care of your needs immediately.
