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.

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."
"I like Vercel because it is very easy to use and deploy. Unlike Firebase, which can be complex to understand, Vercel is straightforward. It also allows you to easily enable analytics, check page speed, and manage SEO meta tags. You can also share the deployment directly. The solution is also beginner-friendly."
"It was a very easy and good experience, with great integration with other tools."
"With Vercel, we reached more than ninety percent performance in website and lazy loading."
"It provides continuous integration and continuous deployment capabilities."
"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 very user-friendly solution, and new users can go through its documentation to learn to use it for the first time."
"I think the speed of the tool is good."
 

Cons

"At $15 to renew a .com domain, Namecheap isn't so cheap anymore."
"The tool could have some built-in support for a wide variety of frameworks. I have seen that the tool is majorly biased towards Next.js because it is one of Vercel's products."
"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."
"Personally, I don't like this shift because it reduces scalability and the ability to create unique, customized experiences."
"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)."
"The product's build time needs enhancement. It currently takes up to four minutes to build my projects for every deployment, which is lengthy."
"I would rate it seven out of ten because there are things missing in Vercel."
"In future releases, I would like to see AI-based capabilities in Vercel."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's quite expensive for enterprise use, but it's worth the price."
"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."
"Vercel is a bit costlier than other solutions like AWS."
"I use the solution's free version."
"Most of the product features are free, which is quite advantageous."
"I'm a free user."
"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."

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...
