Oh hey, it's my old company ASO on there! I haven't followed Doug and the team much since I sold it, but good to know it's still a contender and the support levels are still as high quality as I left it.
Did you have a chance to test on one of their business accounts? http://asmallorange.com/hosting/business/ It's like a standard shared account, but not oversold and therefore able to better scale.

Good to see SiteGround keeps up, I've found their offering very compelling and signed up for them. Support does seem good so far, and I think they can compete on cost because they're mostly based out of Bulgaria from what I can tell. Their highest WordPress plan tops out at $15...so that's half of WP Engine's starting plan.

I am amazed noone had mentined Dreampress $20/month (includes two VPS files + mysql and uses varinsh cache) which they claim is equal to $500 wordpress.com VIP. I am using it, but I never had the privilege so far to hit more than 100 concurrent users.

I'd like to see this test run again... but with a lot more WP hosts than were originally included in the test.

It totally blows my mind that Wordpress powers (or claims to power) 19% of the web. I had never used it until this year (after using other CMSs like SquareSpace and Statamic) and wanted to blow my brains out. I really wonder how the CMS landscape will look in five years.
