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 Britons ask about Rocket.net
Most-searched questions, per Sistrix
What is Rocket.net used for?
Managed WordPress hosting built for one thing: speed. Every site runs behind Cloudflare Enterprise — a tier normal plans don't include — with full-page caching at 300+ edge locations, meaning fast loads for UK visitors from nearby London nodes. Updates, backups and malware removal are handled for you, so the platform is hands-off despite being aimed at performance obsessives.
How much does Rocket.net cost?
The Starter plan is US$25/mo on annual billing for a single site, rising through Pro and Business tiers as you add sites and traffic. That's premium pricing next to budget shared hosts, but the pitch holds up: Cloudflare Enterprise bought on its own would cost far more, and here it's bundled into every plan alongside full-page caching, enterprise security and a 30-day money-back guarantee. You're paying for raw speed rather than a long feature checklist — worthwhile if performance is the priority, overkill if it isn't.
Is Rocket.net good for WordPress?
Yes — WordPress-only and our performance champion: consistently at or near the top of independent managed-WordPress speed tests thanks to the Cloudflare Enterprise edge. Best fit: stores, lead-gen sites and anyone chasing Core Web Vitals.
Does Rocket.net use Cloudflare?
Yes — that's the defining feature: every site is served through Cloudflare Enterprise, including full-page edge caching, enterprise WAF security and DDoS protection, bundled rather than bolted on.
Who owns Rocket.net?
Rocket.net was founded in Florida in 2020 and was acquired in 2025 by the hosting.com group (the former A2 Hosting/World Host Group family). It continues operating under its own brand, with plans and platform carried through the acquisition.
What are the disadvantages of Rocket.net?
Price and narrowness are the honest downsides. From US$25/mo it sits well above budget shared hosts, so it's poor value for a small brochure site that doesn't need edge-level speed. It's WordPress-only, so no home for a non-WordPress app. And it's a smaller, younger brand than WP Engine or Kinsta, without their agency tooling or name recognition. The flip side is focus: if you don't specifically want Cloudflare Enterprise speed, cheaper picks in this ranking — SiteGround, Bluehost, Cloudways — cover the basics for far less.
