The Deluxe Linux hosting with cPanel is one of the shared hosting plans offered by GoDaddy. The web hosting plan is suitable for hosting multiple websites under a single hosting plan, up to 10, and comes with a free domain name for the first year. In the US the Deluxe plan is priced at $7.99/month for the first 3-year term and renews at $16.99/month. To know more about the plan keep reading this post, or visit the GoDaddy website to buy.
Deluxe is GoDaddy’s cPanel shared hosting plan for up to 10 websites, with 50 GB NVMe storage and free SSL for all your sites. It costs $7.99 a month for 36 months in the US (₹329 in India) and renews at $16.99 a month (₹849 in India). If you need SSL after the first year, Deluxe works out cheaper than Economy.
Introduction to GoDaddy Deluxe Hosting Plan with cPanel
If you are a blogger or a website owner, you might have found yourself searching for a cheap and reliable hosting at some time. Finding a good hosting that doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket every month is not easy. If the plan is good, it usually is costly, and if the plan is cheap, the chances of getting value for money are low.
Many of you might already know GoDaddy and their plans. For those who don’t, GoDaddy is one of the oldest and biggest web hosting and domain companies. I hosted this website on GoDaddy for close to ten years, so in this post I will tell you what the Deluxe plan gives you today and what it really costs.
The Deluxe Hosting plan offered by GoDaddy is the middle plan of their cPanel hosting. It sits between Economy, which allows only 1 website, and Ultimate, which allows 25. So Deluxe is made for people who have more than one website but not too many.
Features of Deluxe Linux Hosting with cPanel
The Deluxe plan comes with the industry standard cPanel, which is the best known control panel for managing hosting and website data. Below is the list of features this plan includes today:
- cPanel control panel, so if you have used cPanel at any other host, you will find everything at the same place.
- Under this plan, you can host up to 10 websites, so you can use a single subscription for all the websites you own.
- You get a free domain name registration for the first year.
- You get 50 GB of NVMe storage.
- Unmetered bandwidth.
- Free, unlimited SSL for all your websites, every year.
- Automatic daily backups.
- Free email when you buy this plan (GoDaddy’s plan page doesn’t say for how long).
- Node.js support.
- Site security is included, as GoDaddy lists on the plan.
- 99.9% uptime guarantee and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
If you read older articles about this plan, including the old version of this page, you will see unlimited websites and unlimited storage. GoDaddy has changed that. Deluxe now allows 10 websites and 50 GB storage. The storage is NVMe, which is much faster than the old drives, and for 10 small websites 50 GB is usually enough.
GoDaddy doesn’t list RAM or CPU limits for Deluxe. For Economy their sales chat told me 512 MB RAM, so if you plan to put many busy websites on one Deluxe plan, ask GoDaddy for the Deluxe limit before you buy.

GoDaddy Deluxe Hosting Price and Renewal
The price you get when subscribing to the Deluxe plan is valid for the first term only. Renewal is done at the regular price, which is a little more than double. To get the lowest monthly price, you also have to pay for 36 months at checkout.
| US (USD) | India (INR) | |
|---|---|---|
| Price for the first 36 months | $7.99/mo | ₹329/mo |
| You pay at checkout | $287.64 | ₹11,844 |
| Renewal priceThe real price | $16.99/mo | ₹849/mo |
| Next 36 months at renewal | $611.64 | ₹30,564 |
| 6 years in total, hosting only | $899.28 | ₹42,408 |
Before tax (US sales tax or 18% GST in India is added at checkout). Checked October 2026. Renewal is the struck price on GoDaddy’s pricing page, which is what GoDaddy’s cart showed as the renewal when I checked.
When Deluxe is cheaper than Economy
This is the part most people miss. Economy looks cheaper, but its SSL is free only for the first year. When I asked GoDaddy India’s sales chat, they told me the Economy SSL renewal is ₹5,999 a year. Deluxe includes SSL for all your websites, every year.
| India, with SSL | Economy + SSL | Deluxe |
|---|---|---|
| First 3 years | ₹7,884 + ₹11,998 SSL = ₹19,882 | ₹11,844 |
| Every year after that | ₹7,188 + ₹5,999 SSL = ₹13,187 | ₹10,188 |
Before GST. Economy SSL renewal from GoDaddy India’s sales chat, 8 October 2026. SSL counted for years 2 and 3 in the first row.
So if your website needs SSL, and today almost every website needs it, Deluxe saves you about ₹8,000 in the first three years even when you have only one website. I would not buy Economy in India without checking this math first.

How Good is GoDaddy Deluxe Linux Hosting with cPanel?
The Deluxe plan is a sensible plan if you have a few small websites and you want them in one place with a big brand. You get cPanel, daily backups and SSL for all sites, and you don’t have to pay for SSL separately like on Economy.
But I don’t call it the best value plan anymore, mainly because of the renewal. After the first three years you pay $16.99 a month, which is the same renewal price as Hostinger’s Unlimited plan, and Hostinger allows unlimited websites on that plan. From my own experience on GoDaddy, the renewal amount grows every time, so check the renewal price before you decide.
In my speed test, three of the four GoDaddy sites I tested were on a Singapore server. They were very fast from India and Singapore, but took 0.5 to 1 second from the US and Europe. So if your visitors are outside Asia, ask GoDaddy which data center your account will be on.
Who All Can Use This Plan?
This plan is most suitable for people owning 2 to 10 websites or blogs that get normal traffic. It is also a good choice for someone with only one website who needs SSL after the first year, because of the math above.
| Good fit | Not a good fit |
|---|---|
| You have 2 to 10 small websites | You have more than 10 websites (look at Ultimate) |
| You have one website and want SSL every year | One or more of your sites get heavy traffic |
| You want cPanel and daily backups with a known brand | You care most about the price after the first three years |
Bandwidth determines the maximum amount of data that your website or blog can transfer within the subscription period. GoDaddy calls the Deluxe bandwidth unmetered, which means they don’t put a fixed number on it. But on shared hosting your site still has to stay within the server’s fair usage, so a site with very heavy traffic will need a bigger plan or a VPS.
Alternatives to GoDaddy Deluxe
If you have several websites and the renewal price is your main worry, compare these two before you buy:
Unlimited websites instead of 10, daily backups, CDN and SSL included. It renews at the same $16.99 as Deluxe, but the first term is much cheaper.
For cPanel with a low renewal price. It starts at $2.50 a month and renews at $8 (or $7 on their DirectAdmin plan), and InterServer says the price doesn’t go up after that.
