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."
"I like most that whatever you make in GitHub is directly linked. It does CI/CD, continuous integration and continuous deployment."
"I like most that whatever you make in GitHub is directly linked, it does CI/CD, continuous integration and continuous deployment, and whatever changes you make in GitHub and commit will be reflected in that website, making it very easy for anyone to use."
"The solution's most valuable features are its response time and performance."
"Vercel provides a better user experience and easier deployment than other platforms."
"Vercel provides hands-on experience they provide for hosting services. Initially, we started with hosting, and I found it impressive that Vercel identifies even minor issues in your project that might prevent your website from being hosted correctly. For example, if there is a small problem in your front end, Vercel will notify you that your site hasn’t been hosted yet and provide the specific file and line number where the issue is occurring. It is definitely an easy tool to use. It provides clear instructions on how to handle everything, even if you're not very familiar with coding. It has a seamless integration with GitHub. We connected our private repository to Vercel, and it directly indicates any issues with the website whenever we commit code. Even if we've done all the changes and committed to the repo, Vercel lets us know about any flaws that would prevent the website from functioning fully. Once the final commit happens, Vercel gives a green tick, indicating no issues. It was a very easy and good experience, with great integration with other tools."
"It was a very easy and good experience, with great integration with other tools."
"Vercel is the fastest deployer, and if you deploy your site, it won't have any issues."
"With Vercel, we reached more than ninety percent performance in website and lazy loading."
 

Cons

"At $15 to renew a .com domain, Namecheap isn't so cheap anymore."
"I would rate it seven out of ten because there are things missing in Vercel."
"There is room for improvement in terms of error logging. It has some bugs."
"When it comes to serverless edge functions, Vercel sometimes kind of messes up. If there is one chatbot and 100 users are trying to chat with it at once, it gets messed up, even if it is a small number."
"Personally, I don't like this shift because it reduces scalability and the ability to create unique, customized experiences."
"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."
"What I could feel is that it should have some work for when we commit some type of error."
"I encountered an error in Vercel's routing in the React.js projects."
"I encountered an error in Vercel's routing in the React.js projects."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If I cross the free version, I have heard from some people that the billing can be expensive."
"The tool's billing allows 200 deployments per day, but if you want to do more work with the solution, you can opt for the pro plan offered by the tool."
"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."
"For most use cases requiring a small amount of storage, Vercel has a storage cap. Once you exceed that, they charge a nominal amount. I don’t think the storage is insufficient; you can use it for a long time."
"Vercel is a bit costlier than other solutions like AWS."
"Most of the product features are free, which is quite advantageous."
"I'm a free user."
"Vercel is basically free. It's free of cost for new developers."
