Unlimited sites and domains

Every cPanel plan — Starter, Business, and Performance — hosts unlimited sites and unlimited domains on a single account. Run your portfolio, your client demos, your staging copies, your blog, and your shopfront from one plan.

All sites share the plan’s resource ceiling (CPU, RAM, IO). When you outgrow it, upgrade to the next tier — no migration, no downtime.

Why not VentraIP?

VentraIP is Australia’s largest independent hosting provider, with a strong reputation for local support and reasonable pricing. Their Business Pro plan starts at $15.75/month, Australian-owned, NextDC datacentres in Sydney and Melbourne. Phone support is available and well-regarded.

But dig into the specs and you hit a wall: VentraIP doesn’t publish CPU%, RAM, IO bandwidth, or IOPS limits. Their slider system obscures actual resource allocation — so you can’t compare performance characteristics or know what you’ll get when traffic spikes. There’s also no performance caching layer included; if you want AccelerateWP, LiteSpeed, or WP Rocket, you install and manage it separately.

GoodHost Business 10 costs $45/mo + GST ($49.50 inc) with everything published: 400% CPU, 3 GB RAM, 4 MB/s IO, 2,000 IOPS — all guaranteed and documented. AccelerateWP is included and pre-configured, so your sites run fast out of the box. Australian phone support, no lock-in, unlimited sites, 30-day money-back guarantee.

Resource	Included	What does this mean?
Storage	1–10 GB SSD	Space for your website files, emails, and databases. When it's full, you can't upload new content and emails stop coming in.
vCPU	400%	How fast your site can think. Twice as much as Starter, so WordPress admin, Elementor editing, and page loads all feel noticeably snappier.
Memory	3 GB	How much your site can hold in its head at once. Three times more than Starter. Comfortably runs WordPress with Elementor Pro and a handful of plugins.
Entry Processes	25	How many visitors your site can serve at the exact same moment. 25 handles a steady flow of daily traffic comfortably.
NProc	100	Total tasks your hosting can run at once, including background jobs like sending emails and scheduled updates. Twice the capacity of Starter.
IO	4 MB/s	How quickly your site can read and write data on disk. Twice as fast as Starter, so pages with database content load quicker.
IOPS	2,000	How many individual read/write operations per second. Twice the Starter limit. Better for WordPress sites with active databases.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Business different from Starter?

Business has 2× the CPU (400% vs 200%), 3 GB RAM (vs 1 GB), and includes AccelerateWP caching — which caches entire pages to disk, so repeat visitors load your site in milliseconds without touching the database. Perfect for WordPress, Elementor, or any CMS.

I run an Elementor agency with 5 client sites — which tier?

Business 2 or Business 5 ($25–$35/month). Each site gets full Business resources, so pages load fast even while editing in Elementor. With unlimited sites, you can host all your clients under one account.

How much faster is AccelerateWP caching?

AccelerateWP caches entire HTML pages so repeat visitors skip the database — first load might be 2 seconds, repeat loads under 200ms.

Can I upgrade from Business to Performance mid-year?

Yes. Upgrade anytime and pay pro-rata for the difference. No lock-in, no fees.

Is Business good enough for WooCommerce?

Business works for WooCommerce up to ~20,000 monthly visitors or ~50 orders/day. Beyond that, Performance ($39+) is safer.

Should I use Business or the WordPress 10 plan?

Choose Business if you want unlimited sites or cPanel for email/databases. Choose WordPress 10 if you need a single site to run fast in a dedicated container — better isolation but only one site per account.

What’s included in AccelerateWP on Business?

Page caching, browser caching, GZIP compression, database cleanup, and image optimisation helpers. Equivalent to WP Rocket on a cheap host, but maintained by GoodHost so it stays compatible.

Can Business handle a membership site with MemberPress or LearnDash?

Yes, up to ~500 active members. If you expect 1,000+ members, Performance or WordPress 20 is safer.

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.
