What it is
Vercel is a hosting platform closely tied to Next.js. It gives preview deployments for git pushes, serverless and edge functions, and a path from a framework app to a production domain. A hobby tier exists. Commercial use and higher traffic move to paid plans.
Hobby is free for personal projects. Pro and Enterprise are paid. Bandwidth, build, and function limits are on the pricing page.
Why it ranks
- Preview URL on each push
- First-class Next.js support
- Documented hobby tier
Watch outs
- Costs can jump with bandwidth, builds, or commercial features
- Best experience is with frameworks it supports well, especially Next.js
