BURLINGTON, ON - May 12, 2021 – HostPapa Inc., a leading Canadian web hosting and cloud service provider for small and medium businesses (SMBs), announced today that managed WordPress provider Rocket.net has joined its newly-formed growth accelerator program. The program includes a strategic investment from HostPapa to assist Rocket.net with its product and market development.

“We’re thrilled to be adding Rocket.net to our accelerator program,” said Jamie Opalchuk, HostPapa Founder & CEO. “Ben and Aaron have done an excellent job bootstrapping their company to this point while building a world class Managed WordPress platform. Rocket.net’s growth has been phenomenal and playing a small part in helping the founders scale the company to another level by providing them not only funding but the required resources they will need to continue to grow at the level they are today and beyond is exactly what this program is about. We are excited to have Rocket.net as part of our extended HostPapa family.”

“Working with the team at HostPapa to help us scale our company has already positively impacted our development as we continue to accelerate, protect, and deploy WordPress at the edge of the cloud,” said Ben Gabler, CEO of Rocket.net. “We are proud to bring this edge-first managed WordPress platform to the masses. We’ve already seen great market adoption from website owners and agencies that are looking for the fastest, easiest-to-use WordPress experiences.”
