I spent several days exploring the opportunities for moving my site away from my cramped and featureless ISP-provided space to a full-featured hosting company.

The first time I saw the spec of the HostRocket economy hosting package (for $12.95 a month), my jaw fell open. I kept looking for the catch. I didn't find a catch. I just about got my mouth shut, when I saw that HostRocket has its own publicly-viewable discussion forum, containing comments from customers happy, unhappy, angry and ecstatic, my jaw dropped open again. I've now signed up and become a HostRocket customer, and so far I still can't find the catch. In fact, I keep finding nice features that I hadn't even noticed in the description.

Ever cynical, I remain convinced it's all too good to actually be true. Good or bad, HostRocket aren't scared to let me post my views here for all potential customers to read, and I'm taking that as a very promising sign.

What you signed up for with HR is what you get, no catches, they are a top rate company

I'm sure you've read a lot of the posts on this forum already, so you know we sometimes give Brendan and the guys a hard time, as yet he hasn't gone mad and offered everyone free hosting
We will keep trying http://forums.hostrocket.com/images/icons/icon11.gif

I'd have to go really mad ; ) 2800 X 12.95 is a big number.

$36,260 to be exact! Obviously, not all accounts are monthly, and you do have to pay salaries, overhead, PLUS servers, etc, and bandwidth and connections. Whew.

Great job! I do enjoy watching goal oriented people succeed. :D
