To run WordPress your host just needs a couple of things:

* PHP version 4.3 or greater
* MySQL version 4.1.2 or greater

That’s really it. We recommend Apache or Nginx as the most robust and featureful server for running WordPress.

As far as web hosting pretty much any hosting account you find will handle wordpress just fine. It has very low overhead.

Just to be very clear:
The requirements on that site are for wordpress only, no plugins. There are a number of plugins that will turn wordpress into a shared server killer, so be very careful if you go down the 'plugin' path.

Almost any web host can meet the requirements for WordPress.

Yea, it would be very surprise if a Linux hosting service provider cannot support WordPress.

Indeed, though not so much when it comes to supporting certain custom plugins.

As energizedit mentioned, "There are a number of plugins that will turn wordpress into a shared server killer, so be very careful if you go down the 'plugin' path."

Going for a web host which offers Fantastico/Softaculous/Installatron in its control panel makes it easier to setup your Wordpress Site in no time . You will not have to worry about installation or any such thing. You will be pretty much set with the click of a button

ya it is best to just use auto installers. even tho i run my own hosting biz, i still use auto installers just cuz it takes so much less time than doing it myself. altho i do know how to do it myself. lol
