Vercel

Vercel deploys a web app or site from a Git repository and gives you a preview link for every change. It suits a solo founder or freelancer building with a modern web framework. If you use a visual website builder, you do not need it.

On the maker's pricing page, the Hobby plan is free but restricted to personal, non-commercial use. It lists 100 GB of fast data transfer a month and unlimited deployments. Pro is listed at US$20 a month, includes US$20 of usage credit and one developer seat, and is the plan designed for professional developers, freelancers and businesses. Our price above is converted to Australian dollars, so confirm it at checkout.

• Hobby: for side projects and learning only.
• Pro: for any site that earns money or serves clients, which includes most businesses.

• Push your code to GitHub and import the repository into Vercel.
• Add environment variables, such as API keys, in the project settings.
• Connect your domain and check the HTTPS certificate.
• Use preview links to review changes before they go live.

Commercial projects need the paid Pro plan, so do not run a business on Hobby. Usage beyond the included amount is billed, so check the usage page after a traffic spike.

Cloudflare Pages and Netlify are close alternatives, and Cloudflare Pages is what hosts this site. Static sites can live on simple hosting. For a no-code site, see Framer.

Vercel hosts the app in the Lean SaaS Founder stack.
