UNDER THE HOOD
Built for the people who got tired of upgrading
Most cheap hosting runs Apache (default since 1995) or Nginx. The Big Mike runs LiteSpeed Enterprise — built event-driven, so it serves more visitors per CPU core. A site on LiteSpeed typically handles 2–3× the traffic of the same site on Apache.
Network firewall
Blocks known-malicious IPs before they reach your site.
Web Application Firewall
Inspects request content — blocks SQL injection, XSS, LFI.
DDoS protection
Edge mitigation when someone tries to flood your site.
Free SSL on every domain
Let's Encrypt, auto-installed, auto-renewed every 90 days.
Malware scan + free removal
Most hosts charge $50–$200 per cleanup. We don't.
Account isolation
One user's vulnerability can't reach another's site.
24/7 monitoring
Health checks every 30 seconds, on-call engineers paged.
Redundant networking
Multiple upstream providers, auto-reroute on failure.

NVMe · LiteSpeed · 7-layer security · 99.9% SLA
The Big Mike is Tremhost’s flagship premium shared hosting plan. It runs on cPanel with NVMe storage, LiteSpeed, and a security stack that includes a WAF, DDoS protection, free SSL, and daily backups. It’s designed for users who need significantly more resources than entry-level shared hosting offers, without stepping up to the cost and management overhead of a VPS.
The Big Mike gives you one cPanel for your own websites. A reseller plan gives each of your customers their own separate cPanel and lets you bill them individually. If you’re hosting client sites but managing them yourself, The Big Mike is simpler and usually cheaper.
No. Unlike Hostinger, GoDaddy, Bluehost and most other major hosts, the price you sign up at is the price you renew at. We don’t believe in promotional pricing that doubles or triples after year one.
Yes. If you outgrow The Big Mike and need a VPS or dedicated server, we’ll migrate you over and prorate the difference. If you need less, you can move to a smaller plan at the next billing cycle.
Yes. The Big Mike has the storage headroom (500 GB) for product images, the bandwidth (2 TB) for traffic, and 50 databases for staging environments. LiteSpeed’s ESI feature also handles WooCommerce’s dynamic cart while caching the static product pages — which is why store owners often see Time-To-First-Byte drop after migrating.
No. It’s high-tier shared hosting on cPanel. You get more resources than a typical shared plan — 500 GB NVMe storage, 2 TB bandwidth, 1,000 mailboxes, 50 databases — without managing a server. If you need root access, custom kernels, or full server control, see our VPS plans.
Yes — that’s the main reason people choose it. You can add as many addon domains as your resources allow. Most customers run between 5 and 30 sites on a single Big Mike plan.

NVMe is the current generation of solid-state storage. It connects directly to the CPU via PCIe lanes instead of going through the older SATA bus, which makes it 6–10× faster than the SATA SSDs most “SSD hosting” advertises. For WordPress, WooCommerce and other database-driven sites, this translates directly to faster page loads.
Yes — and this is one of the most common reasons customers switch. Compared to Hostinger Premium or GoDaddy’s mid-tier plans, The Big Mike offers more storage, more bandwidth, more email accounts, and no renewal price hike. Most customers also tell us the difference in support is the bigger factor: a real human on WhatsApp versus a ticket queue.
