There is loads of Joomla hosting out there. But nothing I can

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.

It needs to be Joomla because the person who he has to do the
initial templating and content upload wants to use Joomla.
If I can find no commercial Joomla hosting, and the guy doing the
work can suggest none, then I may suggest they use Wordpress
instead. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
