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.

Makes it easy to connect domains and I like the user experience
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. I would like more time allowed for backend streaming. If you have a chatbot with text streaming, like ChatGPT, and you're not using the Edge router or Edge Functions, Vercel cuts off streaming after 10 seconds. The backend server without Edge Functions shuts down if it processes for more than 10 seconds.

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."
"What I like most about Vercel is that it's easy to set up CI/CD. I can get my site running and sharing with just a few clicks. It automatically builds and deploys new code when I commit to my repository. It provides temporary domains for each deployment, making sharing and previewing changes easy. I get three subdomains under the tool that I can use to share my site. I can easily view logs, too. It's great for starting projects, as I can use it for free as an individual. I find it simple to share repositories and deployments with anyone worldwide."
"Vercel is a very user-friendly solution, and new users can go through its documentation to learn to use it for the first time."
"Therefore, I chose Vercel for its convenience, ease of integration, and instant deployment capabilities."
"It is pretty stable. I haven't found any bugs."
"Vercel is easy to use and not as complex as AWS."
"It is easy to learn. If you want to deploy your site, it's easy to do."
"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."
 

Cons

"At $15 to renew a .com domain, Namecheap isn't so cheap anymore."
"There is room for improvement in terms of error logging. It has some bugs."
"In future releases, I would like to see AI-based capabilities in Vercel."
"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)."
"I've faced a lot of issues with Vercel. One thing is that it is a little bit slow."
"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."
"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."
"What I could feel is that it should have some work for when we commit some type of error."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"I'm a free user."
"The solution is expensive for React projects."
"Vercel is basically free. It's free of cost for new developers."
"I use the solution's free version."
"I haven't paid for the solution yet. You need to pay to invite team members."
"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."
"Vercel is a bit costlier than other solutions like AWS."
