What exactly is The Big Mike?
Tremhost's premium shared hosting plan: cPanel on NVMe storage with LiteSpeed Enterprise, a security stack with a WAF, DDoS protection, free SSL and daily backups, and Cloudflare Pro included. It is for people who need far more than entry-level hosting without the cost and management of a VPS.
How much does The Big Mike cost?
$250 a year, or $25 a month. Paying yearly saves $50 (12 × $25 = $300). That works out at about 68 cents a day. Prices are in US dollars.
Is Cloudflare Pro really included?
Yes, for your main domain. It is set up through Tremhost Armor. Addon domains can use Cloudflare too, but Pro on them is not included. Bought directly from Cloudflare, Pro costs $20 a month billed annually, which is $240 a year per domain.
Is The Big Mike a VPS?
No. It is high-tier shared hosting on cPanel, so there is no server to manage. If you need root access, custom kernels or full server control, see our VPS plans.
Can I host several websites on one Big Mike plan?
Yes, and that is the main reason people choose it. You can add addon domains on one cPanel as your resources allow.
What is the difference between The Big Mike and reseller hosting?
The Big Mike gives you one cPanel for your own websites. Reseller hosting gives each of your clients their own cPanel and lets you bill them separately. If you host client sites but manage them yourself, The Big Mike is simpler.
Should I choose Nyangani instead?
If your sites fit in 250 GB and you don't need Cloudflare Pro, yes: Nyangani is $110 a year. The Big Mike costs $140 more and adds Cloudflare Pro, which costs $240 a year on its own, plus twice the storage and bandwidth.
Does the price go up at renewal?
No. You renew at the price you sign up at. For comparison, Hostinger Premium is $2.49 a month for the first 48 months and then renews at $10.99 a month, according to Hostinger's pricing page on 1 November 2026.
Is email cheaper than Microsoft 365?
For email on your own domains, usually yes. The Big Mike includes up to 1,000 mailboxes. Microsoft's cheapest email-only plan, Exchange Online (Plan 1), is $4 per person a month paid yearly, so 20 people cost $960 a year. Microsoft's service has features cPanel email doesn't, so compare what you actually use.
How quickly is my hosting ready?
Instantly. Your account is set up automatically as soon as your payment goes through.
Will you move my sites from another host?
Yes, for free. We copy and test your sites and switch your DNS only once they work, usually within 24 hours.
What uptime can I expect?
Our target is 99.9% availability each month, set out in our service level agreement.
What payment methods do you accept?
EcoCash, InnBucks, ZimSwitch, Omari, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Tron and Litecoin, in US dollars.
