Frequently asked questions
What does Australian web hosting mean?
Australian web hosting means your website’s server is physically located in a Sydney datacentre. For Australian visitors, that means 5–30ms response times vs 150ms+ for US-hosted sites — pages load visibly faster, and Google ranks faster-loading sites higher.
Why does it matter that GoodHost runs its own datacentre?
GoodHost owns and operates its own infrastructure rather than reselling from a larger provider. That means no middle-person markups, real hardware allocation (not overselling), and when something breaks, we fix it directly instead of waiting for a vendor ticket.
How is GoodHost different from VentraIP or Crucial?
Both are Australian hosts, but GoodHost publishes guaranteed cgroup resource limits (CPU, RAM, I/O) — you can see exactly what you get. We also don’t cap visits or charge overage fees, have no lock-in contracts, and offer 30-day money-back refunds if you’re not happy.
What’s the difference between a percentage CPU like 200% CPU and regular CPU?
A modern server has multiple CPU cores. 200% CPU means you can use 2 full cores, equivalent to 2 older single-core processors. More cores = more visitors and processes running at once without slowdown.
Can I really cancel anytime without penalty?
Yes. No lock-in contracts. If you prepay for a year or two (to get a discount), you can cancel any time and get a pro-rata refund for unused months at the effective discounted rate.
Is free migration actually free, or is there a catch?
Completely free — we migrate your site from any host (WordPress, static HTML, CMS, databases, email) with no charge. Our team handles it, and your site keeps running during the move.
What’s included on every GoodHost plan?
Free SSL (auto-renewed), daily snapshots with one-click restore, Imunify360 security, ModSecurity firewall, unlimited sites and domains (cPanel tiers), pro-rata billing, and Aussie phone support Mon–Fri 9am–5pm AEST (plus AI for instant chat answers).
Do I need to pay extra for cPanel access?
No. cPanel is included on all cPanel-based plans (Starter, Business, Performance), and WordPress plans use WP Toolkit for WordPress management. No extra charge.
