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
- IO Speed: 8 – 16 MB/s dedicated
- IOPS: 4,000 – 8,000 dedicated

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.

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:
-
Choose Business 10 or Performance 10
for unlimited WordPress sites on cPanel (shared resource pool) -
Take multiple WordPress containers
sites stay fully isolated, you pay per container, scale independently

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.
