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 Vercel the most for its ease of use, especially with Next.js. Its UI is user-friendly, and the solution is easy to learn. I was a beginner when I created my portfolio website with the tool."
"Vercel is a good platform for deployment of websites."
"It is pretty stable. I haven't found any bugs."
"The most valuable feature of Vercel is the custom domain."
"Therefore, I chose Vercel for its convenience, ease of integration, and instant deployment capabilities."
"It provides continuous integration and continuous deployment capabilities."
"It was a very easy and good experience, with great integration with other tools."
"The entire ecosystem Vercel is setting up is quite beneficial for the developers."
 

Cons

"At $15 to renew a .com domain, Namecheap isn't so cheap anymore."
"If I could add a feature to Vercel to make my life easier, I would add a user journey feature for new users. This would guide them with tips on exploring the platform, showing them the routes for deployment and functions they can use. This way, users can understand all the features without upgrading to premium to see their benefits."
"Personally, I don't like this shift because it reduces scalability and the ability to create unique, customized experiences."
"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."
"I encountered an error in Vercel's routing in the React.js projects."
"I've faced a lot of issues with Vercel. One thing is that it is a little bit slow."
"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."
"Vercel fails to provide a database to its users, making it in an area where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"If I cross the free version, I have heard from some people that the billing can be expensive."
"Vercel is a bit costlier than other solutions like AWS."
"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."
"It's quite expensive for enterprise use, but it's worth the price."
"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."
