Comparison
PressyPress vs Rocket.net
Both are managed WordPress with real isolation and no email hosting. Theirs is built around an enterprise CDN at the edge; ours is built around a container you size yourself and a price that includes tax.
Short version
Rocket.net is the better answer if edge performance and a WAF on every plan are what you are shopping for, and their $1 first month makes trying it nearly free. PressyPress is the better answer if you want unmetered traffic, a lower steady price in euros, and to size memory rather than buy the next bundle.
Rocket.net figures are their own published list prices, read off their site on 1 September 2026. We have no affiliation with them, and product names belong to their owners.
Where Rocket.net is the better answer
If one of these is your situation, we would rather you went there than churned out of here in month three.
An enterprise CDN on every plan
Their whole performance story is Cloudflare's network in front of every site, on the entry tier. We put a CDN in front of nothing by default.
Daily backups where ours are weekly
Automated daily backups with 30 days of retention. We keep 30 days too, but we take them weekly and before every update rather than nightly.
A WAF at the edge, included
Filtering before the request reaches WordPress, on every plan. We run ModSecurity on the application server, which is a different and less forgiving position.

Which one fits you
Pick PressyPress if
- You have one site that matters and a budget that should not surprise you.
- You want every feature on the plan you can afford, not the plan above it.
- Your traffic moves, and you would rather size memory than buy the next bundle.
- You want the renewal price in writing before you sign up.
- You are in Europe and want VAT-inclusive prices and European data centres.
Pick Rocket.net if
- Edge performance is the number you are shopping on.
- You want a WAF and a CDN without configuring either.
- Nightly backups matter more to you than weekly plus pre-update.
- A $1 first month is the way you like to evaluate a host.
