Thank you all for all your feedback on website hosting.  I have a lot to 
digest, thanks to all your input!

I bought 3 years worth of hosting at the discounted rate, making it a really good deal up front. The $15/month regular price feels a little steep, but not if you compare it to other "WordPress/Drupal/Joomla-optimized" services. They have excellent (and easy) server-side caching, integration with CloudFlare, free SSLs (Let's Encrypt), super fast support, and a good control panel. When there have been major security freakouts, be they heartbleed-type or specific WordPress/plugin vulnerabilities, SG has blogged "Oh yeah, we fixed those already; all our servers are protected." They're also at the top of performance comparison trials against "specialized" and "cloud" hosting.

Recommendations would be appreciated.  A couple of sites list Bluehost.com as one of the top, but I'm not sold on any one at this point.
