Easy to set up with good chat support and no downtime
I would like to see specials on renewals like Go Daddy used to offer, so it would be possible to renew at the $10 rate I pay at the lower-priced registrar that doesn't offer a catchall address in their email forwarding. I would definitely take advantage of those offers and move those domains to Namecheap. Other than that, Namecheap is perfect as it is.

A serverless solution with good performance
Due to RBI guidelines, we're facing issues with billing in India. Credit card payments often get declined even when we try to pay from the backend. Another problem is paying 20 dollars for each new project, even under one account. This seems odd since we already pay for one project with multiple hosts. The tool should improve its support. The time zone difference causes delays in communication, which can significantly impact production websites and servers. I'd rate the platform itself higher, but they still need improvements. They need to work on their billing system and create more understandable plans that clearly show costs based on bandwidth usage. A major challenge we faced was an unexpectedly high bill of 25 lakhs for one month when we usually pay only one or two lakhs (100,000-200,000 rupees). While they showed the bandwidth usage, we lacked support on optimising or implementing changes to reduce costs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have never had any downtime with these domains."
"Vercel is easy to deploy; we don't have to set up any servers or something like that, we just have to configure the server in Vercel and it takes care of it."
"Therefore, I chose Vercel for its convenience, ease of integration, and instant deployment capabilities."
"Vercel is a very user-friendly solution, and new users can go through its documentation to learn to use it for the first time."
"The most valuable feature of Vercel is the custom domain."
"With Vercel, we reached more than ninety percent performance in website and lazy loading."
"One of the great things about Vercel is that we don't need any particular script to deploy our applications. We connect our GitHub repository directly to Vercel. Then, if any push happens in GitHub, we have a script that determines which branch should be deployed to which domain. We can map this according to our requirements."
"The entire ecosystem Vercel is setting up is quite beneficial for the developers."
"Vercel is an easy-to-use platform, and we can easily deploy the app."
 

Cons

"At $15 to renew a .com domain, Namecheap isn't so cheap anymore."
"I've been using the solution for a while now, and while I haven't encountered major issues, there is room for improvement. The main problem I've noticed is with the error logs. They often lack information and only indicate that a file is missing without specifying the actual cause of the error. This makes troubleshooting difficult, as running the app locally might show the error in the console, but on Vercel, it just crashes without providing useful details."
"I have seen a bottleneck in Vercel regarding socket servers. According to their documentation, Vercel doesn't support WebSocket. While Vercel is great for creating a cloud application, if you need socket operations, the current platform won't accommodate that. I would like the Vercel team to add this feature."
"There is room for improvement in terms of error logging. It has some bugs."
"Vercel does have certain limitations regarding the app's size and scalability."
"If you're not using Edge Functions, Vercel only allows 20 seconds of streaming from the backend. They should allow more time for backend streaming without Edge Functions. This is one thing that Vercel can improve."
"The product's build time needs enhancement. It currently takes up to four minutes to build my projects for every deployment, which is lengthy."
"Vercel cannot handle big projects like shopping applications."
"What I could feel is that it should have some work for when we commit some type of error."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Most of the product features are free, which is quite advantageous."
"I haven't paid for the solution yet. You need to pay to invite team members."
"If I cross the free version, I have heard from some people that the billing can be expensive."
"It's quite expensive for enterprise use, but it's worth the price."
"I use the solution's free version."
"The solution's pricing depends on the size of the project."
"I'm a free user."
"As a DevOps person who has to consider the commercial aspects, I find it odd that we must pay $20 per user for each new project under a pro account. That's not what I expected. Additionally, there are charges based on bandwidth usage. We incur additional charges if we go beyond 1 TB or 2 TB. However, we can choose plans based on our specific requirements. So, while the per-project pricing and bandwidth-based charges can add up, we have some flexibility in selecting plans that fit our needs."

What advice do you have for others considering Vercel?
If you use Next.js, Vercel is the easiest way to deploy. No config needed, and it gives you a preview URL for every branch. In a monorepo it works well too. We run many apps from one repo, each app...
