📄 Editorial Review

HostRocket.com, Inc. is an independent hosting company based in Clifton Park, New York, operating its own data center and network. The business has been around since 1999, founded by then-students Brendan Brader and John Quaglieri, and has grown into a mid-sized provider focused on traditional Linux hosting, dedicated servers, and cloud VPS through its sister brand DotBlock. The overall feel is of a long-standing, technical operator rather than a marketing-driven mass host.

The core of the offering today is a single SSD shared hosting package (often referred to as the RocketFreedom style plan). Instead of multiple small tiers, there is one all-inclusive plan with:
Unlimited website storage / Unlimited bandwidth / Unlimited websites/domains and subdomains / Unlimited email accounts and databases / 24/7 technical support.

On top of that, shared accounts include a reasonably complete toolbox: POP3/IMAP email with webmail and spam filtering, autoresponders and mailing lists, streaming media support, web-based file manager, custom error pages, URL redirection, phpMyAdmin, cron jobs, SSH access, and a very long list of one-click installs (CMS, blogs, forums, e-commerce, wikis, educational apps, etc.). It is an old-school "all you can eat" shared plan aimed at people who want to park many sites under one account.

Above shared hosting, HostRocket pushes cloud VPS and reseller VPS through its DotBlock brand (linked directly from the HostRocket site). Those VPS plans are SSD-based, built on KVM virtualization with RAID-10 storage, and advertised with features such as guaranteed CPU share, VNC/web console access, and a choice of dozens of OS templates. Pricing starts from around $9.95/month for an entry-level cloud VPS and can be scaled up by adding more "blocks" (cores, RAM, storage, bandwidth) as needed. Reseller VPS accounts can be turned into multi-tenant hosting platforms using cPanel/WHM.

For customers needing more raw power and isolation, HostRocket offers dedicated servers built on Intel E5-2620 platforms. The current standard line-up consists of four main configurations, all including:
12 or 24 visible CPU cores / 16 GB or 32 GB RAM / 2 × 1 TB HDD or 2 × 500 GB SSD / 15 TB monthly bandwidth / 100 Mbit uplink / Free RAID-1

These servers run CentOS or Ubuntu Linux and are backed by the same network and data center infrastructure. They sit in the company’s own facility and target higher-traffic sites, e-commerce, or custom applications that have outgrown shared hosting or basic VPS. Customers can request custom hardware quotes for more specialized builds.

There is also an Upstate NY colocation option, where clients place their own servers in HostRocket’s Clifton Park data center. While the detailed pricing for colocation is handled through DotBlock, HostRocket positions this as a solution for customers who want physical control of their hardware but the benefit of the company’s power, cooling, and bandwidth.

Alongside hosting, HostRocket provides domain registration (.com, .net, .org, .info, .biz and others), domain transfers, and SSL certificates (256-bit). Domains and SSLs are typically handled as add-ons, with domain registration and transfer priced at around $20/year each and SSL certificates around $99 for two years.

The company also runs a small web design and VoIP operation (via the ViaTalk brand), but for most potential customers the relevant parts are the shared plan, dedicated servers, VPS/reseller VPS via DotBlock, domains, and SSL. The platform is clearly built around Linux hosting; Windows is available only within the VPS lineup.

Technically, HostRocket comes across as a somewhat "classic" host: a single powerful shared plan, serious dedicated servers, and its own data center and network. Some of the informational pages still show their age and mention older software versions, but the core offer remains competitive if the main requirement is stable, U.S.-based infrastructure with straightforward products.

Unfortunately, a more detailed assessment of hostrocket.com suggests a website that appears largely unmaintained, with a substantial portion of its services redirected to Dotblock. In addition, multiple internal links seem inconsistently configured, routing users between both brands for ostensibly the same products. This pattern indicates weak information architecture and possible operational fragmentation at the backend level.

Taken together, these signals support the interpretation that HostRocket operates primarily as a legacy front-end rather than an actively managed standalone provider, with much of the commercial activity effectively consolidated under dotblock.com.
