personally recommend. Because even if I had used any Joomla hosting I
couldn't recommend any specific Joomla hosting. Because Joomla is a
totally awful piece of software. If you just look at the number of CVEs
out there for Joomla (300+) against Wordpress (160ish). Basically your
Joomla site is going to get hacked. I've inherited a couple of Joomla
sites and they're awful to use, awful to theme/skin and you have to be
incredibly vigilant to stop them getting hacked.
However if it's general webhosting, I personally think 34sp.com are
excellent. Also they have one click installers for several common CMS,
including Joomla. Once you've got a Joomla install going, updating it
is as easy as clicking a button. Until it comes to move between
versions, which can be a bit of a nightmare.
So basically suggest that the guy uses Wordpress. Or anything. Just
not Joomla.
