Google Cloud Run hosting

Google Cloud Run website hosting — serverless platform, fair pricing

Pettifer Works deploys business websites on Google Cloud Run — auto-scaling, SSL, and monitoring included in managed hosting from £15/month.

Google Cloud Run is Google's serverless container platform. Your site scales automatically with traffic, ships over HTTPS by default, and stays online without manual server management — we handle deployment, monitoring, and updates as part of managed hosting from £15/month.

Who is this for?

For businesses that want reliable, modern infrastructure without AWS complexity or shared hosting limits.

Who it is for

For businesses that want reliable, modern infrastructure without AWS complexity or shared hosting limits.

Next.js and React sites needing auto-scaling
Businesses with campaign traffic spikes
Teams that care about security and compliance
Sites replacing WordPress on shared hosting
Clients who want Google-grade uptime

The problem

Shared hosting was not built for modern web apps

Traditional hosting struggles with modern frameworks, cold starts on traffic spikes, and manual SSL management — Cloud Run is designed for exactly this workload.

Traffic spikes crash or slow shared hosting plans
Manual SSL renewal and certificate errors
No auto-scaling — you pay for peak capacity you rarely use
DevOps overhead if you try to self-host on AWS or GCP
Unclear billing from cloud providers without management

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Google Cloud Run hosting?

Cloud Run runs your site in containers that scale automatically with demand. You get HTTPS, global load balancing, and pay only for what you use — we manage it for a flat monthly fee from £15.

Is Cloud Run better than shared hosting?

For modern sites, yes — faster cold starts than overloaded shared servers, automatic SSL, and scaling during traffic spikes without upgrading a hosting plan.

Do I need a Google Cloud account?

No. We manage the cloud infrastructure. You receive clear monthly hosting invoices from Pettifer Works.

Can you migrate my existing site to Cloud Run?

Yes, for sites built on supported stacks — especially Next.js. We assess compatibility before migrating.
