wordpress hosting recommendations

Anyone got any recommendations for cheap wordpress hosting?

I've used page.ly in the past but am now looking for a uk based hosting company. Anyone used UK2.net?

Take a look at www.ochostreview.co.uk

thanks for the info, I can't see that being an issue though. It does look good and has had some great reviews not to mention good prices!

sure has, just means you have to ftp up 3.0 and install like that...

Or I believe you can install the version that Fantastico installs, and then from within the Wordpress admin panel use the Wordpress update (which should do everything for you) to go to 3.0.

Yup - it's a one-click automatic update

wow 8 responses to a hosting thread and it hasn't turned into Vidahost vs TSOhost yet

Either of those two and your set. Majority of the forum seems to be with one or the other.

Yeah but the 3.0 install is better, no more admin default user meaning you have to create another and delete admin...

If you can find a host that uses Installatron I think you may get a more up to date one click install of WP.

Or Softaculous possibly, it's awesome
