Can anyone recommend a Wordpress host? By which I mean a company that provides and supports the Wordpress install and just leaves the customer to deal with the content, not a company who provides hosting onto which I could install Wordpress myself.
A company my wife works with has been left in lurch after their existing host decided they're going to shut down, and I said I'd ask around, and I know a few people here are involved in hosting.
Although it's a FOSS application running on a FOSS O/S it feels like it's only on-topic on a technicality, so I'm happy to take off-list replies or discuss here as others see fit.

I've used to host my WP sites on Dreamhost, but lately the performance on sites has really deteriorated and if you want "optimised" performance, they charge quite a bit. I'd personally run a VM on a vps and install wordpress on it. If it's a bit too fiddly or time consuming, Atlantic.net do one click installs via a simple LAMP server, https://www.atlantic.net/community/howto/wordpress-atlanticnet-one-click/ although I haven't tested that setup myself. (You can give try it out by spinning up an instance and only pay by the hour so virtually nothing until you decide to commit)
