Just second-opinioning this one: I've run Wordpress sites on WPEngine (awesome, just awesome) and Linode (great servers, obviously don't have the complete-hassle-removal factor of WPEngine).
I've run other sites on DigitalOcean (superb) and BigV (been a client of theirs for a decade now - also superb).
