I have used most of these in the last couple of years for low priority sites and have had happy customers.

Since no one else has, here's my referral code for Dreamhost (who I've used for several clients with no complaints):

I have an account with MediaTemple for my personal and client sites, it's not as cheap as others (about 20 bucks a month) but great uptime and support.

I have used MediaTemple for many years and still recommend them. Although the service quality has dropped a bit since they were acquired by GoDaddy.
I use Pair for clients with more limited needs (single website without excessive traffic). It's my go-to budget host.
I avoid GoDaddy and any EIG (Endurance International Group) hosts like the plague. Also, anyone promising "unlimited" anything often cannot deliver.

I jumped around from shared hosting providers for 10 years or so and wound up on a Linode VPS. I was tired of arguing with Bluehost about server performance.
I recently switched to Veerotech after terrible experiences and support from a number of different hosts, including Bluehost. I've been quite happy with Veerotech for a number of reasons:
Fast support
Monthly billing (I hate paying for a full year upfront when I do not know if they are a quality host)
They have not (yet) tried to sell my anything (Bluehost was HORRIBLE for this! Everytime I signed into cPanel, there was so many ads and deals thrown in my face).
The only downside is that the micro package only allows you to host a single domain. You have to upgrade to the next tier to have unlimited domains. Its still quite affordable, but would be nice to be able to host a few more domains on the micro package.
Anyways, been very happy with them and available to speak with others about my experience. They are also listed as a recommended webhost in /r/webhosting.
If you wish to sign up to try them out, here is my affiliate link: https://affiliates.veerotech.net/clickthru.php?id=360.
Would anyone like to chat further?
I am using AWS/Route53. It's amazing the amount of tools you get access to in the AWS dashboard.

Personally I would recommend HawkHost or BigScoots.
www.webhostingtalk.com is the place to see what’s good and what’s not. WHB can literally make or brake a site.

For THE best customer support go with Siteground. Good value WordPress hosting and great support. Just read their online customer reviews says it all.

Depends on what you're looking for. WP Engine is far and away the top web hosting company for individual WordPress websites. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, SiteGround is also great. I recommend SiteGround to people a lot and get almost unanimously positive responses.
