    I know dreamhost and bluehost which are being recommended by wordpress but I need your views about them or any other server provider that you have exprience with. I need wordpress installer comes with the server and it must host unlimited domains. pls share your experience, thanks inadvance!:)

    Those are not server providers, those are shared hosting providers, and they oversell quite a bit.

    Yes very much so, you will not use most of the bandwidth anyway.

    Some people have been having problems running WordPress on Bluehost. Here is one example of the problems they have had.
    Another example from the Bluehost forum thread can be seen here and here were ReddRobb can't even run a WordPress blog on a Bluehost server.

    I really like hostgator too. Particularly their live support. and like some of the other host, wp is very easy to install and upgrade.

    I really Like Host gator also. I have a dedicated server. I know it is probably a little more then i need right now. But I can grow as my online business grows.

    For wordpress I would also recommend HostGator - they are inexpensive but provide decent customer service - they will transfer sites or databases for you.
