HostingSimple vs Rocket.net.
Same flat pricing. Half the entry price.
Rocket.net is a genuinely good product with an unusually honest pricing model — what you sign up at is what you renew at, which is the same thing we do. The difference is the number. Their entry plan is $30 against our $15, and their agency ladder runs roughly double ours at every rung.
When Rocket.net is genuinely the right pick.
We want you on the right host — even if that's not us. This is when we'd tell you to stay.
favour
Rocket bundles Cloudflare Enterprise on every plan, and we do not have it — that is a real edge network advantage and if global edge performance is the thing you are buying, they are a defensible pick. They are also multi-tenant, as is most of this category, so what we sell above WP Studio is a different shape of product rather than a cheaper version of theirs.
What you'd actually pay, for your workload.
Drag the sliders to your real numbers. We compute the cheapest plan that fits, including Rocket.net's renewal hikes and any overage billing. Honest math — show your accountant.
Your workload

Same workload, both hosts. What it costs, what runs.
Three common workloads, run through the same calculator. Numbers are 3-year sticker cost — no estimates, no hand-waving.
Don't switch from Rocket.net if any of these are true.
We'd rather lose a sale than recommend a bad move. If one of these describes you, save your migration energy for a better moment.
Global edge performance is the thing you're buying.
Rocket bundles Cloudflare Enterprise on every plan. We don't have it, and we're not going to pretend a standard CDN is the same product.
You're mid-term on an annual prepay.
They hold price at renewal, so there's no cliff to escape. Finish the term and move at the boundary.
You need more than 100 sites on one plan.
Their Agency ladder goes further than ours does. Above 100 sites, talk to us before assuming we're the cheaper answer.

Pre-migration questions, answered by an engineer.
Real questions we get during pre-sales calls — answered the way we'd answer them on chat.
Is Rocket.net actually more expensive, or is that an annual-versus-monthly trick?
It is a real difference. Their widely-quoted $25 entry price is the annual rate — two months free, the same structure we use. Compared like for like, monthly against monthly, it is $30 against our $15.
Do I lose Cloudflare Enterprise by moving?
Yes, and it is worth being clear about. Rocket bundles Cloudflare Enterprise on every plan; we run a standard CDN instead. If a bundled enterprise edge network is specifically what you are buying, that is a genuine point in their favour.
Does Rocket hold its price the way you do?
Yes. They are one of the few hosts in this comparison where the renewal question genuinely does not apply — no intro rate, no cliff. We are not going to imply otherwise.
How long does a migration from Rocket take?
Median 6 hours, 24-hour SLA. An engineer copies each site, validates it on staging and coordinates the cutover with you.
