I have a site that is built using WordPress. I host it at HostGator. HostGator was bought about 2 years ago and they has improved substantially. Better hardware and less packing of sites. My site has good performance.
I would think GoDaddy, Blue Host, HostGator, and others would be fine. I am seeing a lot of the cheap hosting companies claiming they specialize in hosting WordPress. Not sure what exactly they are doing that is specific to WordPress. I think WordPress requires MySql 5.6 and PHP 5.6 so maybe you will want to consider that as well when selecting a host. https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
If your daughter wants to attract readers, I would suggest the Yoast SEO plug in and would recommend reading the entire Yoast site. Lots to know.
I would recommend permalinks and using a mobile responsive theme. https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks On 2016-05-18 18:18, Mark Phillips wrote:
My daughter has become a blogger of late (http://www.sustainablesixty.com/)...I [1] guess a recently minted BS from ASU needs a summer hobby while she works and saves up her money to start her MS in the Fall at ASU. I was thinking of hosting her Wordpress blog on some spare space I have on a Linode machine, saving me the cost of paying to host her site. Does anyone on the list support Wordpress, and if so, any suggestions or gotchas about hosting Wordpress? Thanks!
