Tool · Hosting & data

Your site is distributed worldwide and practically never goes down.

Vercel
Hosting & data
What it is

Where your website lives. It isn't stored on one machine but in many data centres at once — always served from the one closest to your visitor.

Without

A server in a basement. If it fails your site is gone — often for days.

With

If one location fails the next takes over. You won't notice, and neither will your customers.

How it works
  1. Every change builds itself

    As soon as something lands in the archive, Vercel rebuilds the site. Nobody uploads files to a server by hand.

  2. Preview first, then live

    Every version gets its own address to look at. You release what you like.

  3. Delivered from near the visitor

    The finished site sits on machines in many countries. Someone opening it in Berlin gets it from Europe.

  4. Rolling back takes seconds

    If a version doesn't work out, the previous one is switched back on. No restoring from a backup.

What it technically does
  1. Change in the archive
  2. Vercel builds
  3. Preview link
  4. Live worldwide

There is always a preview link between building and going live. You see every change before a customer does.

A platform that keeps your site in many data centres at once. A request is always answered by the nearest one. Every change in the archive triggers a new build automatically, and encryption certificates renew themselves.

How I use it
01

Every change goes live automatically once it's ready

02

Older versions stay available — rolling back takes seconds

03

Encryption and certificate renewal run by themselves

Where it doesn’t fit

The provider is US-based and some servers sit there. As soon as customer data is processed I pick European locations deliberately — that belongs openly in the privacy policy, not under the carpet.

In practice
Every project

Every site I build runs here — from the barbershop in Rome to this page.
