@ir_darkghost - what is your budget? And what specs do you actually need?
Yes, I know, we're just finalizing it before it goes up this weekend (fingers crossed).

It's true they're no McDonald's, but 18,000+ employees and 295 locations (they're not just in CA) is not what I'd call small!
Many providers don't say anything about the % CPU CAP in their TOS.
Why not?
You could go with one of those specialist wordpress hosts.
Another option is to get a VPS and put serverpilot on it if you don't know how to administer the server.
Do you know how much ram does serverpilot need to run? I have a 128MB idle VPS.

Operating System Ubuntu LTS 12.04 or 14.04 Architecture 64-bit Kernel >= 3.2 Virtualization Any (except OpenVZ due to its old kernel) Memory >= 256 MBDoesn't work on OpenVZ, but probably doesn't want less than 1GB.
512mb of ram is ok if you use a cache plugin.
You can install Centmin Mod and get a really faaast box. Nginx+PHP-FPM+Mariadb+Memcached is the best choice for a low end vps.
I thought I recall reading that it's not worth it to use memcached for small sites? Was it just bad advice?
@ir_darkghost, the short answer is "No". You can basically use any hosting provider if your website is full of caching and no one should said "you load us too much". I am sorry to repeat that so much, but all that website(s) need to be affordable, fast and do not load hosting/server much is to have good sysadmin.
Using memcached saves the cpu. It worths to give some free Ram and get a healty cpu ;-)
If you have at least 512mb of ram enable the magic memcached.
