Rocket.Net Review – How Good is This New WP Host?

Rocket.Net, the fastest hosting provider, has caught my attention recently. Though we have reviewed other hosting providers, now it's time to review the next. This Rocket.net review talks about their hosting performance in detail, support, and pricing.

Rocket.Net Review

Rocket.net is a simple, easy-to-use, and secure Managed WordPress Hosting with a 99.99% uptime guarantee. They have a highly optimized server to provide lightning speed to your websites.

Features

The following features are included in all of their managed WordPress plans:

WordPress hosting that has been optimized for improved performance and speed. For speedier performance, we use a cloud edge network, a worldwide CDN, Brotli compression, and other cutting-edge technology.

Enhanced security features include a built-in website firewall, virus prevention and patching, and protection against brute force and DDoS attacks, among other things.

All of this is done from a simple mission control center, which includes a 1-click WordPress installer, simple 1-click staging websites, and daily automated and manual backups.

All plans come with 24/7 support, a free SSL certificate, SSH access, and Git integration, among other things.

Full Page Cache

Rocket.net provides full page caching by default, significantly improving the Time to First Byte (TTFB) on the site. I've written a detailed guide on using Full Page Caching in WordPress, and to explain to you better, the below site is hosted with the usual CDN setup, and the TTFB is around 200ms in the USA.

Regular CDN
Default CDN setup

The below site is hosted on Rocket.net loads in less than 50ms throughout the globe. Irrespective of your data center, full-page caching enables your site to load faster from anywhere.

With Core Web Vitals going to be a ranking factor, Rocket.net sensed it before and made this full page caching by default.

Hosted on Cloudflare CDN

Rocket.net partnered with Cloudflare and used their Enterprise plan to host your sites. What is so special about Cloudflare Enterprise? Cloudflare got over 200+ POP locations; it doesn't use all their POPs for the sites hosted on Free, Pro, and Business plan.

For example, there are more than seven POPs in India, but Cloudflare delivers the site to Indian visitors from Singapore POP most of the time.

With Rocket.net Enterprise setup, Cloudflare delivers the site from the nearest POP. Tested the site from San Francisco and Cloudflare provides the San Jose (SJC) site while it is the most immediate POP in the area.

If you are genuinely focused on performance, Rocket.net should be your ultimate choice as I don't see any other host with such a Cloudflare setup.

You can also enjoy Cloudflare's premium features like Polish image optimization, Mirage, QUIC, Railgun, WAF, etc.

Powerful Tech Stacks

Apart from powerful Cloudflare integration, Rocket.net got the very best tech stacks, including Ngnix, HTTP/2, PHP 7.4, Micro cache.

Rocket.net Tech Stacks

Rocket.net also promises to offer Guaranteed CPU/RAM, MySQL, and I/O resources, which makes them.

Premium Control Panel

Named Mission Control, Rocket.net comes with one of the most comprehensive control panels yet simple.

Rocket.net Dashboard

I found it better than Kinsta and WP Engine as somewhat the interface is bright and easy to navigate. Inside, site dashboard, you can perform the most common functions without logging into the site.

Check out the WPEngine review here.

You can update themes & plugins right inside the dashboard and access one-click back restore whatnot; you can also take manual backups whenever needed.

But,

Rocket.net has No Email Hosting

Typically, I don't recommend email from a hosting setup, but people still look for an all-in-one package. If you need such a host, Rocket.net is not suitable for you.

Pricing Plan

Pricing is also reasonable when compared to Kinsta. The Managed WordPress hosting plans are available from Rocket.net in four different levels.

  • Starter – $25 per month (paid annually) includes one WordPress installation and 25.000 visits.
  • $50 per month if you want to be a pro (billed annually) 100,000 visits and up to three WordPress installations
  • $83 per month for a business (billed annually) 250,000 visitors and up to 10 WordPress installations
  • $166 per month (paid annually) for a company with 25 WordPress installs and 500,000 visits.

You can also check the latest Rocket.net coupon for 50% recurring discounts listed here. All plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, which means that if you are unhappy with the service or simply don't want to continue, you can get a full refund during this time.

Do I Recommend you to use Rocket.Net?

On the whole, Rocket.net provides the best value for money managed WordPress hosting on par comparable with big players in the industry. Be it performance, support, tech stacks, the hosting provider ticked all boxes perfectly.

If you are looking for a genuinely next-generation WordPress host, Rocket.net will be a good option with plans starting from $1 on the first month.
