Written by martint, on 10-03-2007 02:35
Hey guys, I been using Hostrocket for about an year now and Here's my review.
The plan I'm on.
I'm on thier 5 gigs and unmtered bandwith plan (they call it freedom bandwith).
I'm currently using about 3 gig's and in december I used around 500 gig's of bandwith last month. ($150 Yearly)
speed.
None of my users complained about any slowtime and it's very fast everytime I check it.
what I host.
an IPB 2.2 forum, a website, a very large file.
support:
I rarley deal with support (that's a definite good thing).
But the only times I dealt with them, My question got answered in 24 hours which IMO, is very good for what I am paying.
uptime:
I never noticed any huge downtime.
I started to do a check using uptime-tracker couple of months ago.
and so far, I have about 6 minutes of downtime during those months. Fantastic!
Control panel:
They are using cPanel with some featured turned off
What I don't like:
Domain stuff. $30 to change the main domain. Psh.
Stats. I would like more detailed statistics.
No SSH
The money I'm paying, They are a fantastic host and I higley recommand them.
I know a lot of other people here wont like them because they do oversell, however they manage it very well.
Overall, they are perfect for my needs.

HostRocket has been around for quite sometime and has a great reputation for stability. They have their own data center in New York and offer a variety of shared hosting plans in addition to dedicated servers and colocation.In August of 2001, HostRocket expanded by completing and moving into a new privately owned datacenter in upstate New York. The datacenter is fully equipped with redundant internet connections, advanced power sources, and a dedicated on-site staff that is eager to assist customers 24/7. This further positioned the company as an industry leader.
