    i think all hostings are compatible with wordpress. but make sure that the hosting supports PHP and mySQL.

    -cypher.

    Not every, a famous host like Godaddy is not recommended for Wordpress hosting.

    For me I found BlueHost to be good, and great if you want to
    use wordpress as you don't need to go through the whole
    installation process manually, bluehost offers you a one
    click installation for wordpress and other stuff!

    Hope that helps, Good luck!

    Most hosts will support Wordpress's requirements.

    Some have Fantastico for one click install of wp.

    Yeah, most of the hosts are good for Wordpress blogs. It is not so resource hungry like proxies.

    Anyone tried 1and1? Their prices are pretty good, I think. But I agree, any hosting that has php and mysql should work.

    I also noticed that some hosts can install wordpress automatically.

    Fantastico is the easiest way to get WP installed on your server.
