📄 Editorial Review

RockHoster, run under ROCKHOSTER PRIVATE LIMITED, presents itself as a one-stop, budget-friendly hosting provider that has been active since around 2010 in UK with roots in India. The overall idea is to combine low entry prices with features people usually associate with more expensive plans: NVMe SSD storage, built-in DDoS protection, free SSL certificates and round-the-clock support.

The catalog is broad and covers most standard hosting needs:
  • Shared Web Hosting (standard and "Business/Enterprise" tiers)
  • WordPress Web Hosting with WordPress pre-installed
  • Reseller Hosting
  • Linux VPS (KVM) and Windows VPS (KVM)
  • VDS hosting (virtual dedicated servers)
  • Extra services: domain registration, SSL certificates, Teamspeak 3 servers, VPN, plus a large knowledgebase and blog

The regular Web Hosting plans (Platinum, Diamond, Crown, etc.) run on pure NVMe SSD, with CloudLinux and LiteSpeed Web Server underneath. All of them come with:
"Unlimited" disk space and bandwidth (within fair-use limits) / Free Let’s Encrypt SSL / Free site migration / Daily backups / Caching options and easy Cloudflare integration.

Lower tiers fit personal sites and small business pages: higher tiers raise CPU, RAM, I/O and process limits so a single account can comfortably serve multiple websites or moderate traffic spikes.

On top of that, RockHoster sells Business / Enterprise Web Hosting (plans like Ace and Conqueror). These still promise unlimited SSD space and traffic but assign noticeably more CPU and memory per account, edging into semi-dedicated territory. They are meant for busier shops, heavier CMS installs and agencies that want to park several high-usage client sites on one strong shared plan.
The WordPress Hosting range targets users who only care about WordPress. Here WordPress is pre-installed and combined with:
  • Unlimited NVMe SSD storage and traffic
  • A free domain on many terms
  • Free SSL and Cloudflare integration
  • Some bundled SEO and management tools

The entry plan is for a single WordPress site, while the WordPress Unlimited option lets customers run multiple WordPress projects on the same account with more generous resource allocations. This is convenient for bloggers, small business owners and agencies who want to get a WordPress site online quickly without manual setup.

For projects that outgrow shared hosting, RockHoster offers KVM-based VPS on both Linux and Windows. These plans include dedicated vCPU cores, guaranteed RAM, NVMe SSD space and full root or Administrator access via SSH or RDP. Management typically goes through panels like SolusVM and Virtualizor, where customers can reboot, reinstall, access a VNC console or boot into rescue mode.

The VDS hosting line fills the space between VPS and dedicated servers, with higher and more predictable CPU allocations and stronger isolation than standard VPS plans. It suits applications that need dedicated-like performance but can still benefit from the flexibility of a virtual environment. RockHoster also mentions GPU servers "coming soon", suggesting plans to target AI, video and other GPU-heavy workloads in the future.

RockHoster sells domain names alongside hosting, and the client area is multilingual and multi-currency. The interface supports more than twenty languages (including English, German, French, Spanish, Turkish, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Romanian and others), which makes life easier if you or your clients are not English-speaking.

There is also a dedicated SSL store with DV, wildcard and EV certificates, plus Teamspeak 3 servers with instant deployment, DDoS protection and low-latency connectivity for voice communities and gaming clans. A VPN offer and a surprisingly large knowledgebase round out the portfolio, so the platform is more like an all-round infrastructure provider than a minimal shared host.
