Vercel

Vercel is a frontend deployment platform for React, Next.js, and modern web frameworks, offering automated global CDN delivery with multi-region compute and failover. The platform is commonly used for building portfolios, startup MVPs, and hackathon projects because deployment is immediate and scalable without upfront infrastructure costs.

The free Hobby plan requires no credit card and includes unlimited deployments, custom domains, HTTPS, and automatic response compression via Vercel's Edge Network. This plan is available to all users globally and never expires—you can build and deploy production applications at no cost. To upgrade, Vercel offers a Pro plan at $20/month with $20 of included usage credit, pay-as-you-go compute pricing, and team collaboration features.
