Rocket.net is the runner-up because it bundles the performance and security pieces that other hosts sell separately. Starter costs $30 per month, or $25 billed annually, and the first month is $1. It includes one WordPress install with unmetered visitors, 10GB of storage, 50GB of bandwidth and unlimited PHP workers. Every plan lists Cloudflare Enterprise CDN, a website firewall, malware protection, free migrations and automated daily backups kept for 30 days, along with free WP Rocket and WP Umbrella licenses. The pricing page also commits to no price increases on renewals, which makes long-run cost easy to predict. Pro covers 3 installs at $60 per month and Business covers 10 installs at $100. Starter's 50GB bandwidth is the limit to watch for media-heavy sites, and there is no cheap shared tier for hobby blogs. For a single business site that wants speed and security without add-ons, it is close to Kinsta at a slightly lower price.
