Business Web Hosts - Options?

[dano-wpg]

I'm looking to change webhosts for one of the businesses I help manage. A little about the website:

- wordpress (might go plain html in the future, but that's where we are at)

- no e-commerce (at least right now)

- uptime is important

- 90% Canadian traffic, 9% USA.

- page speed is important

- a fair number of pictures that won't change, will stay up for at max 3-4 months

- NOT a DIY home-based server

- host one main domain, but hosting for a few (3-4) would be beneficial

 

For analytics for the past year

- 300,000 visitors

- 2,800,000 pages served

- 4 minute duration

- People might visit now and again. Not heavy traffic like a forum.

 

Right now we are with Digital Ocean, but I've found more often than not they are having server issues and the website is inaccessible. When it is accessed, time to request the page is slower compared to other servers (with smaller sites) I have been a part of.

 

Any suggestions for what type of specs we should be looking at, or which provider you might recommend and why?

 

Thanks!
