Next.JS Self-hosted Expert agency

We run your Next.js on your infrastructure - not someone else's cloud

We know Next.js. Including the parts that hurt.

Our team has hands-on experience across the full rendering spectrum: we pick between SSR, SSG, and ISR not by habit, but based on what your content actually needs. We've migrated production apps to the App Router, built with Server Components from day one, and tuned Edge Runtime deployments for teams where latency isn't negotiable

On the CMS side, we've worked deeply with Sanity, Storyblok and Payload - not just wired them up, but built custom schemas, editorial workflows, and role-based access that fit how real content teams operate.

When you work with us, you're not getting a team that follows the Next.js docs. You're getting people who've already hit the edge cases - and know how to avoid them for you.

FAQ about self-hosted Next.JS

Self-hosted Next.js refers to the practice of running your Next.js applications on your own servers or infrastructure, rather than relying on external hosting providers like Vercel. This approach gives you full control over the hosting environment, performance optimizations, and security measures.

Not at all. Most of what Vercel offers - ISR, image optimisation, middleware, streaming - is part of NextJS itself, not the platform. We replicate these capabilities on your infrastructure using a CDN of your choice, custom caching layers, and Next.js standalone output mode. The difference is that you control the config, the costs, and where your data lives

To self-host a Next.js app, you need to build the application with next build, start it with next start, and manage the server environment yourself, including configurations for performance and security.

Self-hosting gives you full control over your hosting environment, which can offer better performance management, cost control, and customization specific to your needs.

Challenges include managing your own server infrastructure, handling updates and security patches, and ensuring that your deployment is scalable and secure.
