[wp-hackers] Recommendations for an affordable, SECURE, WordPress host

[Guus (IFS)]

Better focus on the good. I am using different hosting providers and they 
all did an do a good job: Hostgator, Bluehost and Lypha.

Bluehost has their own modified version of Cpanel which you may like or not. 
I had some issues with Lypha in the past, but who doesn't make mistakes and 
I'm still with them and had no problems for the last two years or so.
