Host Next.js

How to Host Next.js Applications

You can host Next.js on a managed platform, an application platform, a VPS, or cloud infrastructure. Choose managed hosting when reducing operational work matters most; choose infrastructure you control when portability, fixed resources, or provider ownership matters more.

Match the hosting model to the application

Start with the Next.js features the application uses, then decide who should own production operations. Static exports need only static hosting; SSR, route handlers, image optimization, and revalidation need a compatible server runtime.

01Managed Next.js platforms when convenience and framework integration are the priority
02Application platforms when you want a managed runtime with broader deployment flexibility
03VPS hosting when fixed resources, provider choice, and server control justify operational ownership
04Cloud infrastructure when an existing architecture, compliance need, or provider service determines the destination
Production needs

What a real Next.js deployment requires

A production URL is only the visible edge. Reliable hosting also needs a repeatable build, a supervised runtime, HTTPS, environment isolation, and useful logs.

01A supported Node.js runtime and reproducible install
02Reverse proxy, custom domain, HTTPS, and renewals
03Environment variables separated by deployment target
04Health checks, deployment logs, and rollback capability
A simpler path

Keep the server. Lose the setup maze.

HostNextJS connects a Git repository to infrastructure in your provider account and automates the common path from commit to production.

01Connect GitHub and select a branch
02Attach a server that remains in your account
03Configure the domain, SSL, and runtime
04Redeploy on push with visible build output

FAQ

Common questions about host next.js.

No fog. Just the practical details developers need before moving a production app.

Where can Next.js be hosted?

Next.js can run anywhere that supports its deployment output, including managed platforms, Node.js servers, containers, VPS providers, and major cloud providers.

Do I need a server for Next.js?

Static exports do not need a Node.js server. SSR, route handlers, and other dynamic features generally require a compatible runtime.

Can a VPS host multiple Next.js apps?

Yes, if the server has enough CPU and memory and each app has isolated processes, ports, domains, and environment variables.
