GoHosting review
Affordable Linux cPanel hosting, but not a ColdFusion-focused choice.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
GoHosting provides shared Linux web hosting for Australian businesses, entrepreneurs and website owners. Its plans combine cPanel, disk space, bandwidth, add-on domains, daily backups, free SSL, WordPress installation and email support. The service is available on the web and Linux, with infrastructure located in Australian data centres. It is a fit for general websites, personal projects and micro businesses that need conventional Linux hosting rather than a ColdFusion-focused environment.
Pricing is split across three annual plans. Lite: cPanel 1 costs AUD 9 per month when billed annually and includes 1GB of disk space, 4GB of bandwidth, 1 add-on domain, daily backups, cPanel and free SSL. Essentials: cPanel 2 costs AUD 19 per month on the same billing basis and increases capacity to 5GB of disk space, 20GB of bandwidth and 2 add-on domains. Performance: cPanel 3 costs AUD 29 per month annually, with 30GB of disk space, unlimited bandwidth and 4 add-on domains. All three tiers include daily backups, cPanel and free SSL.
The wider hosting feature set covers MySQL databases, PHP, Perl, CGI-BIN, Python and Ruby, plus a WordPress installer, hardware firewall and DDoS protection. GoHosting also offers website, domain and email migration, including free cPanel-to-cPanel migration. These capabilities make it suitable for standard Linux websites and WordPress projects, especially where cPanel administration and Australian hosting infrastructure matter. ColdFusion or Lucee users should choose a provider explicitly built around those runtimes instead. GoHosting is the better match for customers seeking low-cost shared Linux hosting, not specialized CFML deployment support.
