What do you say about cPanel ?

Thank you for your fast answer by the way

It is a basic website nothing fancy

If you can spin up node in cPanel then you should be able to host Next.js, but Vercel has the best integration, it's like 2 clicks and it's done.

So i would need to buy the pro plan wich is 20$ a month ?

If you’re deploying a commercial site then yes

If hobby then no

If you plan on making money off your site, then you need a pro plan

Vercel is the best nextjs provider by far

It’s worth the money

You’re paying to remove headaches

Of maintaining your own

@linesofcode Yes , it is a comercial site, and i plan only to deploy it i dont need any extra plugins in Vercel, like protection etc..So with those 20$ a month ,are there any untold extra costs

Like user visit limit ,and pay extra above it etc..I am new to this

You would need a lot of traffic.

At which point you could probably afford the extra costs

There is this

You could deploy to aws amplify too

But the developer experience is definitely not as good as vercel

And if you’re using app dir it may not supported on aws amplify

You can try SST to deploy the nextjs app into aws too

But it’s definitely more for power users

If it’s your first time doing all this, vercel is the easiest by far

Yes i am using app router @linesofcode

I've read somewhere about bots visiting the website ,and causing huge traffic ,wich incure extra costs

i think i've read it on medium a year ago, and it stucked in my ever since then: D

I mean that’s a thing on any hosting provider

Also ,another question , i will buy domain tommorow ,where do you suggest that i buy it , i've seen Hostinger they offer domain and free SSL, but it is monly subscription, also on namecheap i just buy it one time i guess. As for the domain , i do need only domain name ,and SSL certificate for it , is that all right?
sorry for the rookie question , i am new to this

You need to take some extra steps to project your site

For example nextjs middleware combined with upstash

(Google that)

If you decide to use vercel then you can buy the domain through vercel

Everything will be taken care of like ssl and connecting the domain to your nextjs app

Most domains cost 20 dollars a year on vercel

You can buy on name cheap and transfer it into vercel too

And save a few dollars

So basically i dont need hostinger then ,since its monthly subscription. So is ssl an extra cost on Vercel or it is included in the price

Included

Thank you, so as for the bots i've mentioned ,you suggest i incorporate next.js middleware and upstash for this

So is this the one " Edge Middleware " ?

Yeah it runs on edge

Keep in mind some bots are good bots

If you block them all your seo ranking will be impacted

Typically one uses a combination of heuristics to determine if one should be blocked or not

Sometimes it can be as simple as a rate limiter and ip blocker

I will certainly dive into this today, one more question and wonth bother you, does implementing this edge middleware with upstash incure some fees , i need to notify my client for how much money is needed for this project

i see upstasth has free version, so .. i dont think his website will even have much traffic ,especially in one go

Free version may be enough

But if you go outside your limits

Then you’ll need to pay some more

Ye i understand that . Since i am making a donation website ,meaning people will go to the website and get the sense of what we do and ,donate if they wont , i dont think that pro plan on vercel is actually needed, meaning i wont need 1tb of bandwith ,the traffic will be small,because people will actually be outhreached by telefon and mails and lead to a website for more info. is it possible i can do this with hoby plan ? I mean its like buying i9 processor and perfect graphic card and playing super mario .

I guess i can always upgrade to pro ,if needed
