Strategic partnership equips Rocket.net agency customers with free, unlimited access to WP Umbrella — including Safe Updates, continuous vulnerability detection, automated client reporting, and AI-native workflows powered by Claude

West Palm Beach, FL — June 1, 2026 — Rocket.net, the high-performance managed WordPress hosting platform, today announced a strategic partnership with WP Umbrella, the industry-leading agency management platform. The collaboration gives Rocket.net’s agency customers free, unlimited access to WP Umbrella across every site they manage, redefining what’s possible for WordPress professionals running multi-client portfolios.

The partnership pairs Rocket.net’s enterprise-grade hosting infrastructure with WP Umbrella’s full agency toolset, directly addressing the day-to-day challenges that slow agencies down: risky updates, fragmented monitoring, vulnerability blind spots, and time-consuming client reporting.

Through the new partnership, Rocket.net agency customers immediately gain:

  • Free, Unlimited Installs — WP Umbrella is available at no additional cost on an unlimited number of agency-managed sites.
  • Safe Updates & Automation — Auto-update WordPress core, plugins, and themes with built-in validation and one-click rollback, eliminating the fear of breaking client websites.
  • Monitoring & Site Health — Continuous uptime and performance tracking across mobile and desktop experiences keeps every client site online and performing at its best.
  • Continuous Vulnerability Detection — Automated scans run every six hours to flag vulnerable plugins before they become exploits.
  • Automated Client Reporting — White-label reports cover backups, monitoring events, custom work, and updates — giving clients the transparency they expect.
  • AI-Ready Workflows — A new Umbrella-skill for Claude lets agencies issue natural-language commands directly from the platform, modernizing WordPress management at scale.

Since launching in 2020, partnering with industry-leading solutions for our customers has always been part of the plan to enable them with all of the tools they need, directly inside of Rocket.net,” said Ben Gabler, CEO at Rocket.net. “Partnering with WP Umbrella allows us to deliver the most complete agency experience in managed WordPress, leading to faster sites, safer updates, sharper insights, and now AI-native workflows that will define the next decade of agency operations.

The integration is available to all Rocket.net agency customers starting today at no additional cost. To learn more, visit https://rocket.net.

WP Umbrella + Rocket.net partnership: billing and activation guide

Complete guide to the WP Umbrella + Rocket.net partnership: billing changes for existing customers, activation walkthrough for new ones, eligibility rules, what’s included and not included, and common scenarios like migration, cancellation, refunds, and promo code troubleshooting.

Quick summary:

  • Sites you host on Rocket.net are free on WP Umbrella starting June 1, 2026.
  • If you’re already a WP Umbrella customer, your invoice updates automatically, no action needed.
  • If you’re a Rocket.net customer without a WP Umbrella account, sign up with code rocketnet2026.
  • Site Protect and the hourly backup add-on remain paid for everyone. Sites hosted elsewhere are billed at standard rates.

If you’re already a WP Umbrella customer

Your account updates automatically. Here’s what happens:

  1. No action required. You don’t need to enter a promo code, contact support, or migrate anything.
  2. Your next invoice reflects the change. Sites you host on Rocket.net are moved off your billable total. They appear on your invoice with a partnership credit instead of a charge.
  3. The credit starts on your first invoice dated on or after June 1, 2026. If your next billing cycle is, say, June 15, that’s when you’ll see it. If it’s June 1, you’ll see it immediately.
  4. Your monitoring, updates, backups, and reports continue uninterrupted. Nothing about how WP Umbrella runs on those sites changes, only the billing.

If your next invoice doesn’t reflect the change as expected, contact us at support@wp-umbrella.com and we’ll look into it within a few hours.

If you’re a Rocket.net customer without a WP Umbrella account

Activation takes about two minutes:

  1. Go to https://wp-umbrella.com/ and create your account.
  2. Enter the promo code rocketnet2026 at checkout.
  3. Connect your Rocket.net sites. From the WP Umbrella dashboard, add each Rocket.net-hosted site. WP Umbrella detects the hostname automatically and applies the partnership credit.
  4. After your first month, sites you host on Rocket.net remain free for as long as they’re hosted there. Sites hosted on other providers are billed at standard WP Umbrella rates from the second month onward.

What’s included

The full WP Umbrella core platform is included on every Rocket.net-hosted site:

  • Safe Updates & Rollback: auto-update :ordPress core, plugins, and themes with built-in validation and one-click rollback
  • Monitoring & Site Health: continuous uptime and performance tracking across mobile and desktop, with SSL and domain expiry checks, broken link checkers.
  • Continuous Vulnerability Detection: automated scans every six hours flag vulnerable plugins before they’re exploited
  • Automated Client Reporting: white-label reports covering backups, monitoring events, custom work, and updates, ready to send to clients on a schedule
  • AI-Ready Workflows: natural-language commands via the Umbrella skill for Claude

What’s not included

Three things sit outside the partnership and remain billed normally:

  • Site Protect add-on: virtual patching for advanced security workflows stays a paid upgrade for every customer, on Rocket.net or not
  • Hourly backup add-on: sub-daily backups for high-frequency sites stay a paid upgrade for every customer
  • Sites hosted with other providers: billed at standard WP Umbrella rates. Only sites hosted on Rocket.net qualify under this partnership.

The rule is simple: if a site is hosted on Rocket.net, it’s free. If it’s hosted somewhere else, it’s standard pricing. Site Protect and hourly backups are always paid, wherever the site is hosted.

Common scenarios

“I have 10 sites — 6 on Rocket.net, 4 elsewhere. What does my bill look like?”

The 6 Rocket.net-hosted sites are free under the partnership. The 4 sites hosted elsewhere are billed at standard WP Umbrella rates. Your invoice shows the partnership credit applied to the Rocket.net-hosted sites and standard pricing for the rest.

“I’m migrating a site from another host to Rocket.net next month: when does the credit kick in?”

Once the site’s hostname resolves to Rocket.net infrastructure, it’s covered. Your next invoice after the migration automatically reflects the change. You don’t need to re-enter the code or contact support.

“I’m moving a site OFF Rocket.net to another host. What happens?”

The site moves to standard WP Umbrella pricing from the next billing cycle. Your monitoring, backups, and reports continue exactly as before, only the billing changes. The site will appear on your regular invoice from that point on.

“Do staging and development sites qualify?”

Yes. Any site hosted on Rocket.net is included, regardless of whether it’s production, staging, or development. If a staging site lives on Rocket.net, it’s covered.

“I cancelled my Rocket.net plan. What happens to my WP Umbrella account?”

Your WP Umbrella account, data, history, and reports stay exactly as they are. Sites that are no longer hosted on Rocket.net move to standard WP Umbrella pricing from the next billing cycle. The cancellation only affects the partnership credit on those specific sites, not your account itself.

“I’m already a WP Umbrella customer. Do I need to enter the promo code on my existing account?”

No. The code rocketnet2026 is only for new signups and won’t work for you. Your existing account is updated automatically based on which of your sites are hosted on Rocket.net. There’s nothing to enter, nothing to do.

“I added a new Rocket.net site after signing up. Does it become free automatically?”

Yes. Once a site’s hostname resolves to Rocket.net infrastructure, the partnership credit applies on your next invoice. You don’t need to re-enter the code or contact support. If you’d like us to confirm the change manually, contact us at support@wp-umbrella.com.
