I'm looking for hosting for an woocommerce wordpress site.

SPEED Is crucial to increase conversion rate so I want something really FAST.

I get around 30,000-60,000+ visits per month.

Budget: Don't have one but would like to spend less than $50/month

I don't want to buy from any sellers from BHW, I want a reputable company.

What would you recommmend?

For $40/month i think you can get a good service offer.
Does the site needs to be fast on 1 country or worldwide?
 
For this amount you can get a vps or dedi and install a hosting environment yourself.

If you need free (totally free- no obligations) web hosting contact me pls to give you one.

Thanks

I recommend using Google Cloud - it's fast and you can use it free for a year.
The only downside is the setup because you would need to deploy a virtual machine and configure some stuff.
I'll explain how this works, but I can't share links because my account here is new.

You can get a $300 coupon just by adding a payment method in the Google Cloud Platform (console . cloud . google . com)
Next, you need to either read and follow some guide online or hire someone to deploy a Bitnami stack, specifically the WordPress with NGINX and SSL one.
I recommended that you visit Bitnami's website and register to be able to easily deploy to Google's platform.

The WordPress pro Bitnami stack is basically Linux + NGINX + Let's Encrypt + PHP 7.1 + phpMyAdmin + MySQL + WordPress.
I'm probably missing something but in short, this will install everything you need to run a fast WordPress install.
NGINX is marginally faster than Apache, you can read online.
Many hosting companies still install old versions of PHP like 5.6 (even 7.0 is old if you are looking for the best performance).

Anyway, back to the plan.
You can deploy this Bitnami stack on a "standard" virtual machine size, meaning it would cost around $26 per month to run.
The coupon you claimed will be enough to pay for around 11 months.

Even if there was no coupon, this is a way better deal than any hosting I know of.
This one machine can hold multiple WordPress websites and the performance you get from Google is better than WP Engine or anyone else claiming to be the best WordPress hosting.
Of course, traditional hosting companies will do backups and offer support while you are on your own when using Google's platform.

If you really have 60,000+ visits you would surely make enough money to pay someone on Fiverr to set the hosting.
After all, this will save you 11 months of hosting expenses.

Hope this helps you somehow :)
I can give you more info and links with step-by-step tutorials if you are interested (PM me).
 
You could do this on a $5 digitalocean droplet. Assuming you have an 8 hour busy period per day it's only 4 visits per minute. You will want to enable caching to keep your PHP load down and handle traffic spikes. Obviously you can spend more if you want so maybe pay for a decent CDN and maybe put your database on a separate instance.
 
Go for fully managed VPS hosting solution if you dont wish to monitor the server yourself, this help to give us much time to market our product/website to grow business, self managed servers can be a pain. For managed VPS solution you can try : https://www.webhostuk.co.uk/vps-hosting.html
