Serverless, explained

No server to rent. No slowdown on busy days.

Serverless means your site doesn't live on one rented machine. When visitors arrive, it runs on capacity that appears for them, and scales back when they leave. There is no server for you to patch or outgrow, and a busy day doesn't mean a slow site.

Choose a scenario to watch the platform work.

Real, dynamic websites

Custom PHP sites and applications run as they are, with a full database behind them: logins, forms, member areas and search.

Online stores

Carts, checkout, customer accounts and payments all work, with every order kept safely in your database.

WordPress, secured

WordPress and WooCommerce run on it by design. The code is locked on the live site, so nothing can be added to it behind your back.

What you get

Small business hosting, run by engineers.

Fast everywhere

Your pages are served close to your visitors and grow with your traffic automatically.

Straight answers

What people ask about hosting.

Is serverless only for simple, static sites?

No. Sites on Big Dog are fully dynamic: PHP with a database behind it, so shopping carts, logins, forms and member areas all work the way you expect.

Does WordPress work? What about my store?

Yes. WordPress and WooCommerce stores run on it, and the platform was designed to run them securely. Themes, plugins and updates arrive through a recorded update, made by us or your developer, rather than being installed on the live site. Nothing can be slipped onto your site, and every change can be undone.

Can you move my existing site?

Yes, free with every plan. Tell us where it runs today and we move it for you, including your email, and check everything works before you switch over.

What if my site gets busy?

Every plan grows with your traffic automatically. If your site outgrows its plan's storage or mailboxes, we let you know and move you up a plan, only with your OK.

Where do I manage my account?

Billing, support requests and your services are all in the client area, run by HostCrew.
