Best Hosting for WordPress?

[Wonsert]

I run 7 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 several months to find a new host or renew (currently paying about 30/month).
Do you tink kvchosting.net will be worth trying? Are they reliable? Any other good hosts?

Thanks!

The best places to have Wordpress hosting are available from kvchosting.net and hostingsource.com.
I would recommend them to anybody for ease of use and expertise especially for somebody like me, a casual user.

Taking the advantage of the opportunity can recommend hosting022.com wordpress hosting solutions.
Nice selection of included scripts, CPanel, MySQL control panel, and many others that the high priced sites do not offer or support.

The professional focused efforts Greenwebpage delicately puts together into making sure their customers feel safe, secure and taken care of are something every web hosting customers would value highly and I would recommend their wordpress hosting solutions to everyone. A 5 five star host!
