Next.js cloud hosting # Next.js cloud hosting for modern applications Host Next.js projects that use server-side rendering (SSR). Git-based builds and deployments may be available; domain and SSL options depend on current platform settings. Check service availability before planning a deployment. [Get started](https://panel.deplomo.com/signup)[Next.js deployment guide](/guides/deploy-nextjs) ## Next.js hosting features A platform for hosting modern React applications ### Git-based deployment Connect a Git repository to use the platform’s build and deployment workflow, where enabled. It can retrieve code, build the project and release the result without requiring direct server access. ### SSR and App Router support Run server-side rendering (SSR), React Server Components (RSC), content streaming and API routes with the standard Node.js runtime, subject to your app configuration and the selected runtime version. ### Package access during builds Builds install development packages from the configured npm registry. Check credentials, lockfiles and access policies when using external or private packages. ### Custom domains and automatic SSL certificates Connect a custom domain. SSL certificates are issued and renewed automatically via ACME. Check whether a test subdomain is available for your project. ### Environment variable management Keep server-side environment variables separate from client-exposed variables, and edit them in the console without changing repository code. Review access permissions when storing secrets. ### Resource monitoring Review application logs and resource usage in the console. CPU and RAM come from your selected monthly package; confirm available options before changing resources, as changes may affect service availability. ## Frequently asked questions about Next.js hosting Find answers about deployment, SSR, database connections and hosting management. What is Next.js hosting, and how does it differ from conventional hosting? What is the difference between cloud Next.js hosting and a VPS? Are the App Router and Server Actions supported? How does automatic deployment from Git work? Can I connect a database to Next.js hosting? How do I troubleshoot package download errors? ## Next.js cloud hosting for React applications Next.js supports server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG) and React Server Components. These features can return HTML before it reaches the browser, though their effects on performance and search visibility depend on implementation. Hosting a Next.js app requires runtime and build settings that fit the project; operating a VPS also requires server administration. A managed platform can simplify deployment. Depending on current service options, you may be able to connect a GitHub or GitLab repository and configure build steps, environment variables and SSL. Check which integrations and setup tasks are supported and whether service creation is available. ### How can Next.js support business and SEO-focused websites? Search engines can crawl rendered HTML, but rankings depend on many factors. With client-rendered single-page apps (SPAs), browsers may need to run JavaScript before showing content; server-side rendering can include page markup in the initial response. The result depends on the app’s implementation. - Server-rendered HTML can make page content available to crawlers in the initial response. This may help indexing, but it does not guarantee higher search rankings. - Server-rendered content can be available in the initial HTML response and may affect FCP and LCP. Results depend on the app, caching, network and device. - Next.js API Routes and Server Actions can handle webhooks, forms and other lightweight server tasks when supported by your version and configuration. Some workloads still need a separate backend. - Next.js Image can resize and serve optimized images when image optimization is configured and available. Output formats and dimensions depend on browser and build settings. ### Compare Next.js cloud hosting, VPS and shared hosting The comparison below summarizes common operational differences. Features and requirements vary by provider, package and project configuration.

Deployment methodGit-based build and deployment may be available; check current integrationsUsually configured manually via SSH, Linux commands or webhooksManual upload of build files via FTP
SSR and App RouterNode.js runtime; compatibility depends on supported versions and configurationInstall and configure Node.js, a process manager such as PM2, and a web server such as NginxSupport varies by provider, package and configuration
Package registry access during buildsConfigured registry access and dependency installationManual configuration for external package access may be needed, depending on network policiesCommand-line and package-manager access depends on the hosting plan
Custom domains and SSL certificatesAutomatic SSL certificate issuance and renewal via ACMEA VPS may require Certbot setup and certificate-renewal configurationSSL setup through cPanel or other provider tools
Traffic and resource managementResources come from the selected monthly package. Changes depend on available package options and may affect service availability.May require downtime or file migration, depending on configurationTraffic limits and account policies depend on the provider and package
Database connection optionsConnect using the network options available to your project; latency depends on configuration, workload and network routes.Firewall and port rules usually require configurationDatabase and network options vary by shared-hosting provider
### Git-based build and deployment workflow A Git-based workflow can simplify deployment and reduce manual steps such as building, compressing and uploading files. Check supported integrations and current service availability. If GitHub or GitLab integration is available, configure a target branch to trigger a build. The platform may install dependencies, build the project and roll out the new version; interruptions depend on health checks and deployment configuration. ### Troubleshoot dependency and network errors in builds Modern projects can encounter build errors when package registries, Google Fonts or system binaries are unavailable. Check build logs, credentials, network requirements and third-party service status. Builds and running applications connect to the registries and APIs configured by your project. Review access credentials, network requirements and third-party policies, and monitor logs for download or connection errors. ### Database connections and sensitive environment variables For Next.js apps, keep database credentials and authentication secrets in server-side environment variables; do not expose them to client code. Use the console’s available secret-management controls and review access permissions. If both the app and database support a shared private network and are configured to use it, you may be able to connect without exposing the database port publicly. Availability and latency depend on platform settings and network routes; configure access controls. ### Next.js hosting and deployment options on Deplomo If your project needs managed Next.js hosting, review the available runtime, package, deployment and zone options on Deplomo. Build and deployment times depend on the project and configuration. The free plan is available within its published resource limits. Check current service availability and package limits before planning a deployment. ## Explore Next.js hosting Review the available build, domain and SSL options for your project.
