HostRocket Pros
HostRocket offers a good website builder and includes access to quickly install well over 250 free applications. They include an upgrade path from regular hosting through dedicated servers if needed.HostRocket Cons
HostRocket charges for setup of your web hosting account unless you pay for their annual plan. We also find their customer support section extremely lacking on features customer expect which may mean more customer support requests are needed to find answers. Pricing leans towards the expensive end of the spectrum.Web Hosting Packages Review

They have phone support that is available 24/7. You can also submit a ticket for their team to answer as soon as they can. You can access their knowledgebase to search through their Frequently Asked Questions to see if your question had already been answered. This will save you and their team of experts a lot of time.
Price Value Review
HostRocket web hosting plans are not the cheapest around. Theirs is an all in one package where both small site owners and large site owners can get. This is a great value for business websites but may be a costly option if you don’t have much demand from a web host especially if you only plan on hosting 1 personal blog or website.
For those with multiple websites or a site with a large demand and a big number of visitors can surely take advantage of their shared web hosting plan.
