Rocket.net bragging about their ~100ms global TTFB is like showing your friends a 5G signal from a Motorola Razor.
The 5G signal is Cloudflare Enterprise and the Motorola Razor is Rocket.net which is shared hosting with discontinued CPUs from 2013 which rank poorly (over 400th+) in PassMark.
This is why so many Rocket.net customers complain about slow admins, load times, and poor concurrency for WooCommerce/dynamic sites. Because their CPUs have a ~2-5x worse single + multithread rating versus newer CPUs (and only support old DDR3 RAM + PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs).
Why wouldn’t you just use FlyingCDN’s Cloudflare Enterprise which costs ~10x less and lets you any host you want? Meaning you could use a host who actually uses fast CPUs/hardware with ~2x better performance, pay 3x less, and probably have enough extra resources to host 3-4x more sites without being limited by bandwidth, WP installs, and Rocket’s low storage limits. That’s why I did and I can confirm, FlyingCDN on a good VPS makes Rocket look like HostGator.
Speaking of which, Ben Gabler already sold out to EIG before with HostNine/HostGator, so if you’re sticking around to see what happens with hosting.com, look at other hosts bought by WHG. Unless you want to see Ben flying around in a jet, then sure, pay those bandwidth limits.
