[Lilug] Recommendation for Wordpress Hosting Provider

I personally use HardyPress, which is a security and reliability oriented
WordPress host that is pretty reasonably-priced at ~$5/mo for one website.
I totally love it. Free automatic SSL; free CDN service to make the site
faster. Info here: https://www.hardypress.com/ .

Sample page from my site hosted there:
https://announce.asheesh.org/2018/04/beaches-goodbyes-and-surprises/

It only supports a small subset of WordPress plugins, but that's been fine
with me.

Cheers!
