I need to get away from my webhost, they pretty much suck. Any suggestions? I'm not looking for anything expensive, less than $20 a month.
 
How good are you with development in general? Because if all you serve is a static website, you could just use something like cloudflare or github pages for free hosting with your own domain.

Could you provide more details on what you're currently hosting?
 
I really don't want to be responsible for maintaining the security and the software of the server. I know just enough about Linux to be dangerous.

I use Wordpress as the basis for my little web site.

You don't have to. You can either set up a pre-made droplet with PMA+wordpress on digital ocean, or get hosting from cloudways.com (that's digital ocean's cloud hosting).
An entry level VM is $11/mo and it's more than enough for low-traffic websites.
Back in a day I used to run my WP website on their cheapest droplet with 1 vCore and 512MB RAM, and after some tweaking it worked flawlessly. The only time I had overload, is when I published something on Instructables and it got popped to the front page, serving nearly 4000 new sessions on my homepage in one day. But that was rather an exception.

Shared webhosting kinda sucks, but still fine for something like a personal page.
What's your current host?

Namecheap. The server I'm on is way overloaded and even with Cloudflare in front of it, my site can be slow as hell.
