Welcome to Rocket.net

You're just a few minutes away from taking your WordPress experience to the max!

Step 1: Create your first site

Creating a WordPress site on Rocket takes just 60 seconds. Let's get started!

Enter your site details and choose a Location

1. Click the Create Site from the Dashboard or Sites Page at https://control.rocket.net
2. Enter your WordPress Site's Name
3. Select the location for your WordPress site (tip: Choose a location closest to your target website visitors)
4. Click Continue

Choose your Install Path, Login, and Options

1. Enter an Admin username.
   • Use a unique name instead of "admin"
2. Enter a complex password for the Admin user
   • Never reuse old passwords 
   • Click "Generate" if you'd like a random password to be assigned
3. Enter your Admin Email to receive important WordPress emails
4. Choose your Language
5. Enable any additional options for your installation

Step 2: Build or Migrate your WordPress Site

Now that your site is created, you can access it immediately on your Rocket URL (eg: https://abc123.onrocket.site). You can also SSO into WP Admin by clicking the WP Admin button when viewing your Site in the Dashboard

If you would like Rocket to migrate your WordPress site from its old host for free, please open a ticket with Rocket Flight Control

Please provide the following details:

WordPress URL:
WordPress Admin Username:
WordPress Admin Password:

Once your ticket is received our staff will migrate your WordPress site on to your Rocket URL so you can preview it on the Platform. 

Step 3: Go Live!

If you're building a new site or are ready to update your DNS on an existing site - simply follow these instructions:

1. Navigate to your WordPress Site in Mission Control
2. Look for the Ready to Go Live? box and click Get Started
3. Enter the domain you wish to use with WordPress.
   1. If you want to use https://example.com then choose https://. If you want to use https://www.example.com then choose https://www.
4. Next, you will need to create TXT records on your DNS Zone to validate the SSL Certificate.
   1. Note. You can skip this step and go directly to updating your website DNS. There will be a few moments of downtime while your SSL is issued.
5. Once your TXT records are validated, you will need to update the DNS records related to your Website. 
6. Login to your DNS Provider
7. Create/Modify your website's DNS records to match as they appear in Rocket Mission Control Dashboard
   
   1. Note: If your DNS provider does not support CNAME's for @ records, you can use one of the following IP's: 104.19.154.92 and/or 104.19.155.92 as A records.
8. DNS can take up to 24 hours to propagate, but once it does you'll be able to take advantage of all the WordPress specific options in Rocket Mission Control Dashboard such as our single click WP-Admin login

That's it! 

You've successfully created your first site on the Rocket platform. If you have any issues or require assistance, please do not hesitate to Submit a Ticket to our Support Team. We'll be glad to help you!
