Over the years I have used a number of Hosting Companies, before settling on the one I now consider the best, and as you may have guessed from the banner below, that company is Hostgator.
They seem to have all the requirements you will ever need (and more!), are competitively priced, and customer service and support are very good. And of course they use the standard CPanel, and therefore WordPress installation is completely automatic.
Go and have a look at their website and see a full list of features. One of the benefits of using Hostgator is that you are not tied to a contract. You can pay monthly, and cancel at any time. Alternatively you can pay for longer periods and get a discount on the monthly price. And if you use the above link and coupon code, you get the first month for 1 cent!
Hostgator – HIGHLY recommended for your hosting
