Rocket.net has rolled out a completely redesigned control panel that aims to make managing WordPress hosting easier than ever. The hosting company says this update is more than a cosmetic refresh. It’s a full rebuild of its customer experience with scalability in mind.
The new control panel brings a cleaner design and faster navigation across both desktop and mobile, while also packing in new features. Customers now get cloud backups stored in S3-compatible storage, which are up to 20x faster than before.
A system-wide dark mode is available, automatically syncing with your device settings. Global search has been added for quickly finding sites, and improved WAF reporting provides better visibility into Cloudflare Enterprise firewall blocks. A new task management dashboard also makes it easier to track what’s happening across multiple projects.
Other updates include streamlined “Go Live” tools, which now generate an _acme-challenge CNAME record for DNS. This reduces SSL issuance time to under a minute. Rocket.net says this is just the start, with upcoming features like multi-account management, site cloning from within the UI, advanced edge settings for per-site controls, and self-service Redis with Object Cache Pro integration.
