## Ways to pay less

- **First month for $1 on monthly billing** (Other savings): Every plan billed monthly costs $1 for the first month, then its regular rate, such as $30 a month for Starter. Rocket.net says renewals are not raised. Source: https://rocket.net/pricing/
- **Two months free with yearly billing** (Annual discount): Paying yearly gives two months free on any plan: Starter drops from $30 to $25 a month and Pro from $60 to $50. Source: https://rocket.net/pricing/

## Key features

- **Cloudflare Enterprise CDN and firewall:** Every site is served through Cloudflare Enterprise with its web application firewall switched on, and a server-side scanner checks files for malware in real time.
- **Daily backups and staging:** Backups run automatically each day and are kept for 30 days. Free staging environments let updates be tested before they reach the live site.
- **Bundled plugin licenses:** Plans include WP Rocket for caching and WP Umbrella for monitoring and maintenance at no extra charge.
- **AI panel and MCP server:** Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT can be connected to any site for content, SEO and code work, and an official MCP server covers the whole Rocket.net API.
- **Automatic updates and activity log:** WordPress core, plugin and theme updates can run automatically, and an activity log records changes made on each site.
- **Free migrations and support:** Sites are moved over free from any host, and support by live chat and tickets is open 24/7 on every plan.

## Good for

- WordPress sites with traffic spread across many countries
- Site owners who want caching and security handled without plugins
- Developers who want to run hosting from an AI agent or their IDE

## Worth knowing

- It hosts WordPress only and does not include email; the pricing page points to Google Workspace for mail.
- Storage beyond the plan is billed at $2 per GB and bandwidth at $0.08 per GB, unless you move up a plan.
- Enterprise plans with dedicated CPU and RAM start at $649 a month through sales and are excluded from the 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Visitors are unmetered, but each plan caps the number of WordPress sites, storage and bandwidth.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** Graded 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.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No 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.
- **Features: B.** Cloudflare 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** A 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 it, 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.

- You could not: Servers kept running, patched and backed up for you.
- You could not: An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, WordPress, WooCommerce and Cloudflare among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
