Why not WP Engine?

WP Engine starts at $46/mo for their entry tier, but that plan caps you at 25,000 visits/month with $3 per 1,000 visits in overage fees beyond that.

A typical Australian small-business WordPress site with 50,000 monthly visits ends up paying $121/mo to WP Engine, or gets pushed to their Professional tier at $84/mo (still capped at 75,000 visits).

We charge $45/mo. Fixed. No visit caps. No overage fees. Australian servers. Aussie phone support.

Architecture: Dedicated container (same model as WP Engine)
CPU: 400% – 800% dedicated (no shared throttling)
RAM: 4 – 8 GB dedicated per container

IOPS: 4,000 – 8,000 dedicated

Auto backups & restores

Backups run automatically. Restore sites, databases or mailboxes on demand.

Kernel level containerisation

Your site runs in an isolated namespace, cross-infection is impossible.

Wordpress Automatic updates

WordPress kept current and patched automatically, always secure.

Wordpress plugin updated Automaticly

Plugin maintenance handled automatically through the WP Toolkit.

Free SSL Certificates Forever

Powerful Security with ModSecurity + OWASP

Web application firewall with OWASP ruleset, active on every WordPress plan.

Two platforms. Pick the one that suits your site.

Our shared hosting plans (Starter / Business / Performance) run on cPanel powered by CloudLinux — proven multi-tenant isolation used by some of the world’s biggest hosts. CloudLinux gives every account its own resource limits so a noisy neighbour can’t slow your site down.

Our WordPress plans run on the Enhance platform, which uses kernel-level container isolation. Your site lives in its own dedicated container with reserved CPU, RAM and IO — there are no neighbours at all. Different platform, different architecture, different price point. Pick the one that matches your site.

Not sure which fits? Call us — we’ll tell you straight.

Why one site per WP plan?

Our WordPress plans run in dedicated containers — each site gets its own reserved CPU, RAM, IO and PHP workers.

That’s why a WordPress 10 plan can outperform a multi-site cPanel setup on three times the resources: nothing else competes for them. Need to host multiple WordPress sites? Two paths:

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a dedicated WordPress container and shared cPanel hosting?

A dedicated container gives your site its own isolated Linux container with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and I/O — no other sites use your resources. Shared cPanel puts multiple sites on the same server with CloudLinux isolating accounts.

Should I use WordPress 10 or Business for my WordPress site?

If your site gets under 10k monthly visitors, Business is cheaper ($18–$45). If you want isolation, speed, or expect growth beyond 30k visitors, WordPress 10 ($45) is worth it.

How is WordPress hosting different from WP Engine or Kinsta?

Similar container model, different trade-offs. WP Engine and Kinsta charge per visit. GoodHost charges fixed monthly ($45–$299), no visit caps, no overage fees, no lock-in. AU servers, AU phone support.

Can I migrate my site from WP Engine to GoodHost WordPress hosting?

Yes, completely free. We handle the whole migration from WP Engine, Kinsta, Flywheel, or any host.

What’s included in WordPress 10?

Dedicated 400% CPU and 4 GB RAM, 10 GB SSD storage, 40 PHP-FPM workers, daily JetBackup snapshots, free SSL, Imunify360 security, ModSecurity firewall, WP Toolkit, and Australian phone support.

When should I upgrade from WordPress 10 to WordPress 20?

WordPress 10 handles ~30k monthly visitors comfortably. Upgrade to WordPress 20 (600% CPU, 6 GB RAM) if you’re approaching 30k visitors or your dashboard feels slow.

Is WordPress 50 really a dedicated VM, and what does that mean?

Yes. WordPress 50 ($299) runs on its own virtual machine with dedicated vCPU, dedicated RAM, and its own IPv4 address and kernel. Total isolation.

Can I run multiple WordPress sites on a single WordPress plan?

No, each WordPress plan is one site only. If you want multiple WordPress sites, use Business or Performance (cPanel) with unlimited sites.

About GoodHost

GoodHost is an Australian web hosting business operated by Faith Computing Pty Ltd (ABN 94 138 361 510) — a registered Australian company. We run our own infrastructure in Sydney, employ Australian support staff, and publish actual cgroup resource limits on every plan because we think customers deserve to know what they’re paying for.

What makes us different from the big international hosts: our prices stay the same at renewal (no $1.79/mo headline that becomes $11/mo), we don’t cap visits or charge overage fees, every plan includes free site migration from any host, and you can call 1800 931 000 Mon–Fri 9am–5pm AEST to talk to an Australian human. We also use AI to answer quick questions instantly via chat — both backed by people accountable in Australia, not overseas script-readers.

If you have specific questions about which plan fits your site, or want to talk through a migration before committing, call us. We’d rather have a real conversation than have you guess.
