Next.js hosting

Next.js hosting: server rendering, API routes and static pages

Hosting your Next.js application with Simafri means keeping server-side rendering, API routes and Server Actions, on web hosting or on a VPS of your own. Your bill doesn't track your traffic: you know in advance what your hosting will cost, however successful your site becomes.

Compare both options
  • Server mode or static export
  • Flat rate, no surprises
  • Help with deployment

Two options

Where to run your Next.js application

Next.js adapts to the server it runs on. What decides is the database you use and the processes that live alongside the site.

Websites and web apps

Web hosting

Built with next build, your application runs in server mode thanks to Node.js, or ships as a static export: either way, there is no server for you to manage.

  • The Next.js server set up in the control panel, on your domain
  • Or a static export uploaded as files
  • MySQL with Prisma or Drizzle
  • SSL certificate and backups included
See web hosting

Full-stack projects

VPS Pro

Your project pairs Next.js with PostgreSQL, a task queue or Docker containers: on a VPS, every piece has its place, under your control.

  • Standalone output or Docker image
  • PostgreSQL and Redis on one machine
  • HTTPS through Caddy or Certbot
  • Upgrade to a bigger size with no reinstall

On web hosting

Deploying Next.js in server mode

  1. Build your application

    Run npm ci then next build, on the server over SSH or on your machine before uploading.

  2. Set it up in the control panel

    In Setup Node.js App, choose the Node.js version, the domain, and a startup file that launches the Next.js server.

  3. Connect your data

    Add your environment variables, your MySQL database address and your API keys, then apply your Prisma or Drizzle migrations.

  4. Open it to the public

    Start the application: it responds over HTTPS on your domain. To ship an update, a fresh build and a restart are all it takes.

The advantages

What your Next.js site gains with us

A cost that doesn't depend on your visitors

Your plan has a fixed yearly price: an article that goes viral or a successful launch won't drive up your bill.

Every feature of the framework

Server-side rendering, API routes, Server Actions, middleware and revalidation all work, since the Next.js server itself is what answers.

Fast servers

Intel Xeon processors and NVMe SSDs in a mirror: your server-rendered pages go out fast, even as traffic climbs.

Your domain, your email

Your website's domain and your team's mailboxes live in the same place, with the domain free for the first year.

Backups of the whole project

Code, database and the files your users upload are all backed up automatically.

A team that knows the framework

A failing build, an environment variable that isn't picked up, a cache that won't clear: we diagnose it with you and point you to the fix.

Next.js without usage-based billing

Next.js doesn't require a specialized platform: it is a Node.js application, which our web hosting runs in server mode at a flat rate. Our guide Vercel alternative compares the two approaches step by step.

A VPS for a complete architecture

A PostgreSQL database, a background job service or a container-based deployment all fit on a VPS Pro, with Full-Stack Assistance. For more technical detail, see also our Node.js hosting page.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about Next.js hosting

Can I host Next.js somewhere other than Vercel?

Yes. Next.js is a Node.js application: on Simafri web hosting, it runs in server mode, set up in the control panel on your domain. On a VPS Pro, you deploy it as standalone output or as a Docker image.

Do server-side rendering and API routes work?

Yes, because the Next.js server answers every request: server-side rendering, API routes, Server Actions and middleware behave just as they do in development.

What if my Next.js site is fully static?

With output: 'export', next build generates static files that you upload under your domain. The web server delivers them directly, over HTTPS, with no Node.js process to keep running.

Which database should I use with Next.js?

On web hosting, MySQL, which Prisma and Drizzle both support. If your project relies on PostgreSQL, the VPS Pro lets you install it with root access.

Will my bill go up with my traffic?

No. Web hosting and the VPS Pro both have a fixed price, paid monthly or yearly depending on the offer: your site's traffic has no effect on what you pay.
