ANALYSIS
Our experience with Rocket.net
Speed and performance
Every site runs on Cloudflare's Enterprise CDN with the WP Rocket caching plugin included free, delivering some of the fastest WordPress load times in the industry.
Security
Enterprise-grade protection comes standard: a web application firewall and DDoS protection on every plan, plus daily backups.
Price and plans
There's no cheap shared-hosting tier — plans start at a premium level aimed at performance, not budget sites. A 30-day money-back guarantee lets you test it risk-free.
Who is it for?
WordPress-only, so it's not for other apps. The right pick if you run WordPress sites where speed and uptime matter more than the lowest price.

FAQ
The most common questions Canadians ask about Rocket.net
Most-searched questions, per Sistrix
What is Rocket.net used for?
Rocket.net is managed WordPress hosting built for one thing: speed. Every site runs behind Cloudflare Enterprise — a level of CDN and security normal plans don't include — with full-page caching at the edge in 300+ locations, which means fast load times for Canadian visitors without extra setup. It handles updates, backups and a malware-removal guarantee too.
How much does Rocket.net cost?
The Starter plan starts at US$25/mo on annual billing (one site, 10 GB storage), rising through Pro and Business tiers for more sites and traffic. That's premium pricing — the pitch is that Cloudflare Enterprise and the performance stack would cost more if you assembled them yourself. A 30-day money-back guarantee covers a trial run.
Is Rocket.net good for WordPress?
Yes — it's WordPress-only and our performance pick: in independent speed tests it's consistently at or near the top of the managed WordPress field, thanks to the Cloudflare Enterprise edge network. It suits sites where speed directly matters: stores, lead-gen sites and anyone chasing Core Web Vitals.
Does Rocket.net use Cloudflare?
Yes — that's its defining feature. Every Rocket.net site is served through Cloudflare Enterprise, including full-page edge caching, enterprise-grade WAF security and DDoS protection. You get Cloudflare's top tier bundled in, rather than the free tier you'd normally configure yourself.
Is Rocket.net legit?
Yes. Rocket.net launched in 2020 from Florida and earned a strong reputation for performance; in 2025 it was acquired by the hosting.com group (formerly A2 Hosting/World Host Group) and continues operating under its own brand. Plans, platform and support carried on through the acquisition.
What are the disadvantages of Rocket.net?
Price and focus. It starts at US$25/mo — well above budget hosts — and does WordPress only: no email hosting bundles, no generic PHP hosting. The entry plan is also capped to a single site, so anyone running several sites climbs the tiers quickly, and it's a smaller brand than WP Engine or Kinsta. If raw speed isn't your priority, cheaper picks in this list cover the basics for less.
