Rocket.net
Managed WordPress hosting served through Cloudflare Enterprise
Rocket.net report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 17, 2026
Best for fast WordPress sites with visitors worldwide
Rocket.net puts every site behind Cloudflare Enterprise with its firewall on, and throws in WP Rocket and WP Umbrella licenses, so your caching and monitoring plugins are paid for. Visitors aren't metered and it says renewals don't go up. But it's WordPress only, there's no email, and storage over the plan is $2 a GB.
Who Rocket.net is for
- Great if your visitors are spread across lots of countries
- Handy when you want caching and security sorted without extra plugins
- A treat if you'd like to run your hosting from an AI agent or your IDE
Who Rocket.net is not for
- Not for you if you want email with your hosting, as it points you to Google Workspace
- Skip it if you host anything other than WordPress
- Tight if your site is heavy on media, as storage over the plan is $2 per GB
Why Rocket.net gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyGraded against the other managed WordPress hosts. Starter is $25 a month billed yearly, so two years cost $600, about $25 a month, the middle of that group. Monthly is $30 after a $1 first month, and it says renewals aren't raised.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial. The first month on monthly billing is $1, which is cheap but not free, and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- BFeaturesCloudflare Enterprise CDN and firewall, a real-time malware scanner, daily backups kept 30 days, staging, automatic updates, free WP Rocket and WP Umbrella licenses and free migrations. Nothing in the managed WordPress job is missing.
- CEase of useNo app store rating to go on. Caching and security come set up, so there are fewer plugins to fiddle with, but you're still moving and running a WordPress site.
- BPlatforms and integrationsA web dashboard with no app on record, plus an official MCP server covering the whole API, and Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT connected from its AI panel.

Keep Rocket.net, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Rocket.net you would be making servers kept running, patched and backed up for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $300 a year.
What you could not
- Servers kept running, patched and backed up for you.
- An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, WooCommerce and Cloudflare among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Rocket.net’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
