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.

Like a well oiled machine!
I
have been a customer with Hostrocket for over a year. During
my experience with them, I have had little to no downtime, fast
loading times, ran quite a few sites all working with decent speeds.
They were excellent in support when I had problems or even when I
had a period of downtime in which they told me that the server I was
on unfortunately had some hardware problems. They switched me over
to a new server very quickly and updated my space from the original
5 GB storage to 25 GB storage and now I have over 100 GB of storage!
They even helped me out when I wanted to get domains from outside
sources such as namecheap. Their billing went smoothly and their
bandwith is great. I'd reccomend them for hosting, but be aware that
you can get domains cheaper from namecheap or godaddy. I learned the
hard way...

- Great Service, Amazing Price
I've been using HostRocket for a little over a year now and the
features you get for such a low price tag are amazing. You don't
ever have to worry about going over your bandwidth limit, as there
really isn't one (unless you pull in MASSIVE amounts of traffic).
Couple that with very reasonable levels of storage to choose from
and a control panel with more features than you will probably ever
use, you won't find a better host for the price. The reliability has
been amazing as well. In the year or so that I have had my site
hosted with this company, I have only experienced downtimes during
the scheduled maintenance periods, which take place at obscure hours
of the day so they can disrupt their customers as little as
possible. They also often run specials where you can sign up for
multiple years for a slightly reduced price, which I opted for when
registering my account.
All in all, I really haven't found anything that I dislike about
this host.

Have been with Hostrocket for several years with only occasional
problems of site offline, which were quickly fixed. Then they
suddenly suspended my website with no explaination or warning. They
eventually said I was using too many resources, even though I have
had essentially the same website for years. They would not let me
reconfigure my website to use fewer resources. The only option they
gave me was a plan that was four times the cost. Also, my statistics
page never did work right. Please compare before you sign up...

I'm on my 4th host in 4 years. A year seems to be the shelf life
for me for most companies out there.
I just wanted to comment that my account creation was completed
within minutes and the transition to HR has gone flawlessly for me.
Everything worked as I expected it to and no surprises hit. That's
the first time that's ever happened. Usually, switching hosts means
at least 2 or 3 things will go wrong but so far my experience has
been pleasing.

I run a small online gaming guild for the game World of Warcraft
which is comming out mid november. My website is
http://www.RemnantsOfChaos.com Nothing fancy or over the top, just a
neat place for the members of my guild to hang out.
Just wanted to say that Host Rocket is by far the best hosting
solution out there. Big thumbs up to you guys. My site is always
running fast and I have yet to experiance any downtime (except the
scheduled maintenance comming up on wednesday).
