## What Vercel is

Vercel is a hosting platform built around Next.js. Every change to a site gets its own preview link, pages are served from a global network, and a bad release can be rolled back instantly.

There is no server for your team to set up or look after.

## What we run on Vercel

-   ### Our own website
    
    papercrane.ca is hosted on Vercel.
    
-   ### Krown
    
    Krown's headless platform, with 300+ dealer microsites and a custom booking engine, is hosted on Vercel.
    
-   ### Hopewell Residential
    
    Hopewell's homebuilder platform, with its home directory and automated ad feeds, is hosted on Vercel.
    
-   ### Preview links for review
    
    Before anything goes live, you get a link to the real site with the change on it. You click through it, tell us what to adjust, and we release when you're happy.
    

## Why teams choose Vercel

-   ### Review the real thing
    
    You look at the actual site on a preview link before launch, instead of screenshots or a staging site someone has to maintain.
    
-   ### No servers to patch
    
    Vercel looks after the infrastructure, so there are no operating system updates or security patches on your side.
    
-   ### Fast everywhere
    
    Pages are served from a global network, so visitors get a quick load wherever they are.
    
-   ### Easy to undo
    
    If a release has a problem, you roll back to the previous version in moments.
    

## When we'd pick something else

If your data has to stay in Canada, or you're going through public-sector procurement, we'd usually choose [WordPress](https://www.papercrane.ca/partners-and-software/wordpress) on Canadian hosting.

If your site has steady, high traffic, a fixed-price server on [DigitalOcean](https://www.papercrane.ca/partners-and-software/digitalocean) can cost less than usage-based hosting.

## Questions about Vercel

### Do we need our own Vercel account?

We can set the project up under your account so you own it from the start. Tell us which you'd prefer and we'll arrange it.

### What does Vercel cost?

Vercel charges a plan fee plus usage, so the cost depends on your traffic and how the site is built. We'll estimate it for your site.

### Can Vercel host in Canada?

Vercel serves sites from a global network. If your data has to stay in Canada, talk to us, and we may recommend [WordPress](https://www.papercrane.ca/partners-and-software/wordpress) on Canadian hosting instead.
