If all you are looking for is web hosting, I cannot complain too much about their web hosting service.

E-mail service they offer is another story.  Today is the third day in a row where sending mail to AOL users will not work.  AOL blocked all e-mail from Host Rocket due to an excessive amount of spam from their servers.  I sent them a ticket two days ago.  Their support site (www.rocketsupport.com) still shows have issues sending mail to AOL.

Host Rocket also added IMAP functionality to their system a couple months ago.  The upgrade was a complete mess.  They required users to change to the new host name in the e-mail client.  It wasn't a big deal for me since I'm the only person that sends mail via my site, but would have been a major headache for any company with a lot of inexperienced users.  Sending of e-mail was hit and miss for a while during the upgrade. 

Their lack of change control, and notification is pathetic.  It seems most changes take place during prime hours, and not during non-peak hours.

The AOL blocking issue was the last straw for me.  I am now researching other companies to host my site.
