As consultants at WP Site Care we do an awful lot of research around WordPress hosting options for consumers. Years ago we published and now maintain an overview of the best WordPress hosting available https://www.wpsitecare.com/performance-of-7-top-wordpress-hosting-companies-compared/

This base is more comprehensive and looks at all the different data points for different hosting options including SSL Certificates, performance benchmarks, backup solutions, and a whole lot more. We'll continue to add more information and keep this up to date going forward.
