Is Rocket.net Hosting Dedicated, or Shared?

If you are coming to Rocket.net from any number of web hosting companies, you'll find that their products are usually tiered with Shared hosting at the bottom, VPS hosting in the mid-range, and Dedicated servers at the high end.

Reasons for this vary, but the primary difference in these is isolation- how isolated your websites are from each other and from other customers of the company. These tiers offer confusing options, as even a Dedicated Server can offer no isolation if used incorrectly. 

Shared Hosting vs VPS hosting

Shared and VPS hosting, despite the differences in name, are both shared. The main difference is that the sharing happens at different levels. Shared hosting has all sites hosted on the Linux Operating System, whereas VPS hosting created Virtual Linux Operating Systems that seem unique but are also all sharing the same hardware. 

Where does Rocket.net stand?

At Rocket.net, Every Site Is Isolated

Rocket.net's servers are similar to those used by other hosts in that one server contains many isolated websites. What's the difference between Rocket.net and traditional shared hosts, then?

Traditional hosts serve websites directly from servers and employ server level caching to reduce load on servers and speed up websites. They also encourage the sharing of resources between sites. Instead, Rocket.net utilizes Cloudflare Enterprise to offload over 90% of traffic to Cloudflare's CDN. Our custom control panel makes configuration easy and secure.

The result is that as a Rocket.net customer you get the very things that most hosts and WordPress site owners are chasing after:

• Speed
• Security
• Isolation
