HostRocket Review - HostRocket Web Hosting

With this HostRocket review, I hope to give you a sense of the features and plans that this web hosting provider has to offer. HostRocket web hosting provides a number of plans that are geared towards the less expensive end of the market: the deals for web hosting that HostRocket advertises on the front page of their web site are under ten dollars per month.

Their plans come with “unlimited bandwidth,” though in practice if a site gets to the point that it is taking up too much bandwidth you would probably be asked to upgrade plans or change to another web hosting provider. More realistic for people getting into using the world wide web is HostRocket’s ability to support up to 10 web sites on one hosting plan, which is more than enough for the average customer and lets you experiment with different domains and sites easily until you find the ones that you like the best.

Shared hosting is the typical path that people take when they need to host their web site on a small budget, or when someone is just starting to get interested in making their own web site and need a good way to start experimenting. Shared hosting plans mean that your site is hosted on the same physical server as other web sites – this is usually made completely transparent to the user, with the ability to set your own domain name and log into your web site account as if you are the only person on.

HostRocket web hosting provides different prices for different time periods and gives you a range of options all costing around ten dollars a month or less. They provide hundreds of pre-installed scripts that you can use to get your web page looking and working great in no time, including programs such as Frontpage, and support for PHP, Javascript, integrated bulletin boards, MySQL, Perl, and lots of other web technologies.

Reseller Hosting programs give you more limitations on your storage space and bandwidth, with prices that are somewhat higher, but they allow you to resell server space to make a profit. HostRocket’s reseller hosting programs include features such as unlimited domains, unlimited subdomains, unlimited databases, unlimited FTP accounts and unlimited email accounts.

The Dedicated Hosting programs that HostRocket offers guarantee 99.5% server uptime, and continuous technical support that you can access any time of the day or night, any day of the week. While the prices are in the more expensive range, this indicates that you are more likely to receive a quality degree of service from HostRocket with their dedicated plans.

Finally, HostRocket will provide you with a free design quote through their site after you fill out a web design questionnaire, and if you are just getting started with your web site design and don’t know the technical aspects of building a site you can have one designed for you.

All of these features may make HostRocket an interesting choice for hosting your next Web site.
