DreamHost is popular with developers and privacy-conscious users partly because it doesn't upsell as hard as GoDaddy or HostGator, and it publishes clear, honest pricing. It officially recommends WordPress and its own DreamPress managed plans, so non-WordPress use cases have fewer specialized tools than competitors.
DreamHost
From $2.59/mo (intro rate)
