FAQ

Common hosting questions

Can you migrate my existing hosting to BigHat?+

Yes — we handle full migrations including DNS transfer, database import and zero-downtime cutovers. We've migrated from all major hosting providers.

Do you offer managed or self-managed hosting?+

Both. Managed plans include OS updates, security patches, platform updates and proactive monitoring. Self-managed VPS and dedicated options are also available.

What if my store has a traffic spike?+

Cloud plans auto-scale compute resources to handle sudden traffic increases. We can also pre-provision additional capacity ahead of known sale events.

Is your hosting GDPR and PCI compliant?+

Yes. All servers are hosted in European data centres. PCI DSS configurations are available on dedicated and cloud plans.

What is your uptime guarantee?+

Shared and VPS: 99.9% uptime SLA. Cloud and dedicated: 99.99% uptime SLA. We're proud of our track record — we've had multiple consecutive years of 100% uptime and work hard to keep it that way.
