For shared hosting, you can't really go wrong

While I've only had a Hostrocket account myself since last April or so, I've had my site hosted on Hostrocket through a friend of mine since early 2004, and I tell you, it has been a smooth ride. Customer service is absolutely top-notch. Whenever I (or in the older days, my friend and I) had a problem, their support team is always quick and responsive in getting things taken care of. Helping setup cronjobs, dealing with hacking attacks, and even simple .htaccess configuration from when I was too stupid to know how to setup a redirect on my own. They're extremely helpful with whatever problem we've had.

For shared hosting, they provide a lot of bang for your buck. They always have some perpetual sale going on, and every month it just gets even more attractive. Unmetered bandwidth, along with the massive amount of storage space and all the bonus features makes it great for any small site. However, don't expect it to do anything extraordinary: This comes nowhere near the bang you get from a dedicated server. Getting on the front page of digg is enough to bring down the entire shared server you're on, and we've found ourselves having our account temporarily suspended until the traffic load subsided. It's nice to know they won't charge you for bandwidth overages, but don't expect to be using a whole lot of it.

Disappointing

Hosting Plan: Shared
Time with Host Rocket:
Support: Excellent!
Interface: A little confusing at first

Generally I say they don't manage their server's security properly, and when they mess something up, it's up to the user to find out and open a ticket. Adequate uptime (>99.5%), but have had the site hacked/defaced twice, RAID crashes where all data lost, native form .cgi pulled without any notification. Looking to move elsewhere. Support is crazy fast though, and usually really good.
