I want to move my blogs to some better hosting, but from searching I only hear bad things about most companies. I'd rather go with a host that supports WP, because I'm too lazy to install it myself lol.

My blogs deal with adult content, not quite porn but not sfw, so recommendations please?

What I've heard and want verified:
Bluehost -> temporarily disable your account if you exceed shared usage (which happens quite easily) is this true? I hope to build traffic, but if that traffic causes the blog to go down what's the point?

HostGator -> relatively good, more expensive than other hosts, have heard they don't really have good uptime 95-98%

Dreamhost -> heard a mix about them, higher priced. Would like some opinions about them since they have 2.95 for 12months trial.

Edit: found that supergreenhosting doesn't allow adult mats :(

Thanks

every web hosting support wordpress,

if you just a starter,
any web hosting would be fine, you can learn and have some experiences from your first hosting the pros and the cons from your experiences.
 
Not every host allows Adult content. Some countries don't even allow it to be hosted.
Every provider should support Word Press. Many hosting companies have automatic script installers that install Word Press within seconds, and you do not need to upload or download anything.
 
I use Dreamhost for all of my non-warez projects.

Here's the only thing they say about adult (which might be a problem for you):

Adult Thumbnail Galleries/Banner Exchanges You agree not to run a banner exchange, free adult tgp (thumbnail gallery post), or free adult image galleries on your website.

If that's a problem for you, I have used http://exmasters.com (starts at $2.59), which will allow that and is a popular host in the adult industry.
 
I jumped on the 9.24$/year dreamhost deal. So it'll give me a year to test out the waters with this blog, if it earns some money maybe I'll look for some other hosting =).

Thanks guys
