GoDaddy Web Hosting Plus is a step up from basic shared hosting. Here is what is included, who it is best for, and how it compares to other GoDaddy hosting options.
GoDaddy Web Hosting Plus: Features, Benefits, and What to Expect
GoDaddy's Web Hosting Plus plan sits between their basic Economy hosting and their managed WordPress or VPS options. Here's what you get and whether it's the right fit for your business.
What Is GoDaddy Web Hosting Plus?
Web Hosting Plus is GoDaddy's mid-tier shared hosting plan. It's designed for growing websites that have outgrown basic hosting but don't yet need the resources of a VPS or dedicated server.
Key Features
Unlimited websites: Unlike the Economy plan which limits you to one website, Hosting Plus lets you host multiple websites under one account — useful if you're managing several business domains.
Unlimited storage: No storage cap on your hosting account (subject to GoDaddy's acceptable use policy).
Unlimited bandwidth: No hard cap on monthly data transfer.
Free domain: Typically includes one free domain registration for the first year.
Free SSL certificate: Includes a standard SSL certificate for HTTPS.
cPanel control panel: Full cPanel access for managing files, databases, email, and settings.
One-click WordPress install: Install WordPress in minutes through cPanel's Softaculous installer.
Email accounts: Create professional @yourdomain.com email addresses (though for serious business email, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 is recommended over hosting-based email).
Performance Considerations
Web Hosting Plus is still shared hosting — your server resources are shared with other websites. Performance is generally adequate for small business websites with moderate traffic, but you may notice slowdowns during peak periods.
For business websites where performance and reliability are critical, VPS hosting or managed WordPress hosting provides more consistent results.
Who Web Hosting Plus Is Best For
- Small businesses hosting 2–5 websites
- Businesses that need more than one domain under one account
- Sites with moderate traffic (under 10,000 monthly visitors)
- Businesses that want a simple, affordable hosting solution
Who Should Consider Upgrading
- E-commerce sites with consistent traffic
- Businesses that can't afford downtime
- WordPress sites that need automatic updates and backups
- Sites with more than 10,000 monthly visitors
