Compare · Rocket.net
Looking at Rocket.net? Fast at the edge is easy. We are fast at the origin.
Rocket.net leans on Cloudflare Enterprise caching, which is genuinely quick for cached pages. Admin, cart and checkout still hit the origin, and that is where dedicated CPUs, LiteSpeed and Redis do the work. Same honest renewal pricing, a quarter of the starting price.
In short
WP Tango is a managed WordPress hosting alternative to Rocket.net. Plans start at $8/month on 12-month billing, with the renewal price matching the signup price for that term, and every plan includes LiteSpeed Enterprise, Redis object caching, unlimited PHP workers, unmetered visitors, staging, SSH and WP-CLI, backups every 4 hours kept 30 days, and free engineer-led migration from Rocket.net, with US engineers in Phoenix, Arizona.

The Rocket.net alternative
The reasons people leave Rocket.net for us.
Most of it comes down to honest pricing, real speed, and not having to pay extra for the basics.
No bandwidth ceiling
Rocket.net allows 50 GB of bandwidth on Starter and 100 GB on Pro. Media-heavy sites reach that quickly. Our plans are unmetered, so a busy month is not an upgrade conversation.
Backups every 4 hours, not daily
Rocket.net backs up once a day. We snapshot every 4 hours and keep 30 days, so a bad plugin update costs you hours, not a day of orders.
Origin speed for the pages that cannot be cached
Edge caching does nothing for wp-admin, cart, checkout or logged-in members. Our AMD Ryzen 9950X and Intel 14900K origins with LiteSpeed and Redis are built for exactly those requests.
Email included
Rocket.net does not offer email hosting, so you buy it elsewhere. Professional email comes with your WP Tango plan.
