From early hosting roots to leading innovation
Ben Gabler has spent more than two decades shaping how agencies experience hosting, turning those lessons into Rocket.net. After building his expertise at HostGator, GoDaddy, and StackPath, he launched Rocket.net in 2020 with a performance-first mindset and agency-friendly workflows. Within five years, Rocket.net earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 and became known for its built-in Cloudflare Enterprise integration, unmatched speed, and sub-one-minute support response times.
Rocket.net was bootstrapped to nearly $10 million a year in revenue, but scaling support, product, and infrastructure was becoming increasingly complex. Instead of finding a CFO or HR department, Ben found a strategic partner in site_5809945f-8c32-4939-8ac7-970383fd25c2.
In August 2025, Rocket.net officially became part of site_5809945f-8c32-4939-8ac7-970383fd25c2. Ben emphasized that this was not an exit but an entrance into something larger. By partnering with site_5809945f-8c32-4939-8ac7-970383fd25c2, Rocket.net gained access to a global team, expanded infrastructure, and a broader customer base, while keeping its leadership and culture intact.
Rocket.net continues to operate as its own brand under General Manager Jessica Frick while integrating deeply with site_5809945f-8c32-4939-8ac7-970383fd25c2’s support systems and product development. The goal is to give agencies and site owners seamless access to industry-leading WordPress hosting, support, and add-on services in one place.
Bringing Rocket.net’s gold-standard support to site_5809945f-8c32-4939-8ac7-970383fd25c2
Support was a major focus of the conversation. Ben highlighted Rocket.net’s live chat system, which offers sub-one-minute response times and a 98% satisfaction rate. That system is now being extended to site_5809945f-8c32-4939-8ac7-970383fd25c2 customers, creating a single, integrated support queue staffed by both Rocket.net and site_5809945f-8c32-4939-8ac7-970383fd25c2 teams.
For agencies, this means faster answers, expert WordPress help, and a unified experience across products. New features rolled out on Rocket.net will also be available on site_5809945f-8c32-4939-8ac7-970383fd25c2, giving customers access to innovations as soon as they launch.
Looking ahead: unified innovation for agencies
The combined platforms will continue to evolve. Agencies will be able to start small and scale up without changing providers, from shared hosting to enterprise-level managed WordPress. Hosting.com and Rocket.net are also prioritizing deeper integrations with popular WordPress plugins and agency workflows, making it easier to launch, optimize, and maintain client sites from a single dashboard.
On the horizon are stronger partnerships with plugin and theme developers, more transparent communication with customers, and a bigger global presence at WordCamps and industry events.
Why it matters for agencies
The Rocket.net and site_5809945f-8c32-4939-8ac7-970383fd25c2 integration gives agencies more stability, more support, and more performance headroom. With a single platform offering hosting, DNS, email, and WordPress-specific expertise, agencies can focus on client work instead of juggling vendors.
