DreamHost is fantastic. I've got 8 sites hosted with them -- about half are traditional sites and the others are Wordpress-only sites. The "one-click install" process is very easy and their support team is wonderful. Even without a discount, at $10/month they are worth it!

Dreamhost offers free hosting for non-profits. We just had to fax them a  
letter attesting to our non-profit status, and we don't pay anything. Their  
customer service has been very responsive and helpful, and the control  
panel is easy to use. The Wordpress installation was easy to set up, and is  
easy to upgrade.
