My bad, though earnestly I must admit I don't understand this thread:
if we're not talking about Wordpress, what are we talking about and why
has so much of this thread been about Wordpress?

I'd like that too. But as with much of life, what I want and what the
world offers me is often different. ;)
I do see managed services. But like Simon said, they're not cheap.

One man's "slapped" is another man's "please read the Terms and
Conditions". I don't use on-rev and haven't seen their ToC so I don't
have an opinion there. But from what I've heard their policies don't
seem unusual, at least compared to the half-dozen or so hosting
companies I've used over the years.
Maybe the bigger problem is with shared hosting in general. Like you
say, it's useful for certain types of low-traffic sites with limited
config needs. But once you get a large enough audience or want the
freedom to add persistent services, VPSes are hard to beat. It means
more responsibility, but also more freedom.
