Vercel
Frontend and serverless hosting optimised for Next.js. Zero-config deploys, edge functions, and preview URLs per branch. My go-to for static sites and JAMstack apps.
Vercel is a hosting platform optimised for frontend and serverless applications, with first-class support for Next.js. It offers zero-configuration deployments, edge functions, and automatic preview URLs for every branch and pull request.
I use Vercel for static sites and JAMstack applications - including this website. The deployment workflow is seamless: push to git and get a production deployment within seconds. Preview URLs for every PR make it easy to review changes before they go live.
Edge functions let you run server-side logic close to users without managing servers, and the built-in analytics and speed insights help you monitor performance. The free tier is generous enough for personal projects and small apps.
Other Hosting tools
DigitalOcean
Cloud hosting for VPS, managed databases, and app platforms. Simple pricing, good docs, and Droplets that scale. I use it for side projects and self-hosted services.
Dokku
Self-hosted Heroku-style PaaS. Git push to deploy, buildpacks, and one-command app management. Runs on any VPS - great for small teams who want control without Kubernetes.
