How To Create A Hosting Account On Rocket.net For WordPress
Psst! This page contains affiliate links, which means that I may earn a small commission, at no cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link. By doing so, you’re helping me pay my biz bills (and to drink coffee; lots of coffee, & to keep buying design books and art supplies, which I love). Learn more in my Affiliate Disclosure.
Rocket.net is a hosting provider that allows you to have a self-hosted WordPress website.
Rocket.net offers unlimited free migrations, free SSL, CDN, WAF (website firewall), malware protection, automatic daily backups, and 24/7 live chat.
If you’re wondering how you can create a hosting account on Rocket.net for your WordPress website, then you’re in the right place.
In this blog post, I’ll show you how easy it’s to register on Rocket.net to start your blog on WordPress.
Grab your cup of your favorite beverage (I have my cup of coffee here ☕), and let’s start.
WordPress hosting bonus
If you purchase a WordPress hosting plan with any of my affiliate links, I’ll give you my Digital Download Instructions Template (value $39) for free.
To claim this bonus, you’ll have to send me a screenshot of your purchase to hi@soulfulgirls.com. Once my affiliate commission is approved, I’ll give you a 100% coupon code to get this template for free.
Choose a hosting plan on Rocket.net
Go to Rocket.net and click on “See plans and pricing”.
Scroll down to choose a hosting plan.
Rocket.net monthly and yearly plans
The difference is that if you pay monthly, you get the first month for $1. And if you pay yearly, you can get two months for free.
You can get managed hosting, agency hosting, or enterprise hosting. If you have a small business, then their managed hosting plans may be the most suitable for you.
After you select a hosting plan, you’ll be able to purchase two or three years of hosting with more free months (you’ll see this offer after creating your account, so start by choosing a hosting plan).
You’ll also be able to see more pricing plans, and if you’d like to, you’ll have the possibility to change to another hosting plan before purchasing.
(Disclaimer: Rocket.net may change their offers from time to time, so take a look at their prices before purchasing.)
Important
There’s no offer of a free domain for the first year or a free email service.
If this is a deal-breaker for you, then you can consider creating a hosting account on SiteGround instead.
While Lyrical Host doesn’t include a free domain for the first year, they offer email accounts and up to two years hosting plans (they even have a six month hosting plan, which I haven’t seen anywhere else). You can use my coupon code SOULFULGIRLS10 to get 10% off any WordPress hosting plan.
Another option that you have is to purchase a domain name on Namecheap, where there are always promotions available. They also offer email services.
Personally, I use:
- Lyrical Host for hosting my website nowadays. You can get 10% off any hosting plan on Lyrical Host with my coupon code SOULFULGIRLS10 at checkout.
- When I first migrated from Squarespace to WordPress, I hosted my website with SiteGround for one year.
- Namecheap to manage my domain name (they offer free domain privacy; on SiteGround you have to pay separately for this).
- Google Workspace for my business email (even though I could have free email accounts for hosting my website on Lyrical Host).
I prefer to keep all these services separately, but that’s just my opinion. So choose what you think is better for your business.
If you don’t mind managing your domain name and your business email on another platform, select the hosting plan that best suits your needs on Rocket.net, and click on “Get started”.
