Host Rocket has been in business over 8 years and continues to grow and provide quality, and stable hosting solutions for sites of all sizes. With shared hosting plans starting at as little as $8.99 per month with unlimited data transfer, and 1,000GB of storage. You can initially host up to 10 domains, but each month you’re hosted there you can host 1 additional domain! Host Rocket runs on the latest servers using CentOS, PHP5 and MySQL5
HostRocket Features:
- cPanel and WHM
- 99.5% up time guarantee
- 1000GB of storage
- Unlimited Bandwidth
- Unlimited Domains

Pros:
1. Very fast. Great vBulletin performance.
2. Support for GZIP. Good GZIP performance.
3. Excellent and very functional online control panel.
4. Great price for the features you get.
Cons:
1. Uptime isn’t all that. Sometimes uptime and performance are awesome. Then sometimes you hit a period where your site goes to crap. The last couple days have been bad. They tell me they are working to fix it. You will find that different people have different things to say about hostrocket’s uptime (whether good or bad). You would be wise to do some extra research.
2. Support tickets sometimes take a while to get a response.
Hostrocket is a great host but their uptime needs work (from my experience. other people might disagree). Great performance though. Very fast vBulletin performance with GZIP enabled.

I have used Host Rocket for about 2+ years since I started in 2006. Their support is excellent and always replied quickly. During my time there, I have encountered several upgrades with disk space. I started with 5GB and eventually left with 150 GB (which they turned to “unlimited” guess they gave up on counting NAS space lol).
I highly recommend them over any other big hosting company out there. They ran my forums quite well and never had any major issues except for maybe one minor downtime episode which lasted about 1 hr and that was it in the 2 years I had it.
