There are many good service providers out there, you get what you pay for and it seems $10.00 might be a little more than some but for that budget you are are really landing yourself in finding a reputable provider.
Do you require any specific features or panels to work with, along with locations of datacenters?██ l Dedigeeks • Shared • Wordpress • Dedicated • Established 2006

As what sparrow said, there are lots of providers out there. Just check the advertisement section and you can find one there.

I wish I could suggest some for you, sadly I am only limited down to ones that I have ultimately used, basing it around North America and there being quite a few locations to choose from, I'd say Hostgator is a fine choice if you are looking at a starter service *Sure* unlimited is what they offer but at least it is stable and they are reliable.
But again, there are so many options out there and you just need to look and you shall find. Generally i'd advise doing some research before making an order just in case.██ l Dedigeeks • Shared • Wordpress • Dedicated • Established 2006

If you check out the "Offers section" you will find lots of offers within that pricerange. But as Sparrow says, make a quick checkup on the reputation of the once you choose.

Nearly any good shared hosting account will work for a Wordpress blog. Per forum rules, we can only recommend companies we have actually used. I can recommend MDDHosting.com from personal experience with their VPS products, and know that their shared hosting customers are very happy with the service. Your Wordpress blog will fit nicely into their basic, lowest cost hosting account.

I use Hostgator's shared hosting for almost 1 year now and put 10+ wp blogs. Never had any problems, their business hosting account is only $10.36 per month. If you don't want to encounter problems when your traffic rises. Then just install a WP caching plug in.

How widespread is the audience of your website? If you are only targeting a local market you may want to choose a provider who has a datacenter near you.

That's a good reason to stay away from hosts that allow you to place unlimited domains on an account with unlimited disk space and bandwidth. I don't want my single website account competing for resources with all the other accounts on the server acting as reseller accounts hosting hundreds of websites each.

I am using MDDHosting at the moment. Their servers seems awesome. Decent amount of MySQL concurrent connections. (25) php limits are high. max_file_upload_size = 100M (Fantastic for a shared host)
This is my wordpress blog : http://smartphonegeeks.in
Never had any downtime/problems so far since I moved to MDD a week ago.
Their basic plan - 6.xx$ monthly, should fit you well.
From the past experiences, I dont recommend HostGator.

Your budget is OK if you are only looking at a shared account. I think you might want to bump the budget up slightly if you are looking into a VPS server at this point. Keep in mind you get what you pay for in todays world. If you are going to spend all the time setting this blog up and working on traffic for it, do you want it slowed down or lost all together from a cheap/budget host? A hosting company that has been around awhile and has good reviews is a good place to start. I would also see what the backup plan is with your new host before you sign up. At that lower rate you may not have any backup included.
