Where Does My Site Live?
Your site is hosted on Vercel, a cloud platform optimized for modern web applications.
What is Vercel?
Vercel is the company behind Next.js, the framework your site is built on. They provide:
- Global CDN (Content Delivery Network) for fast page loads worldwide
- Automatic HTTPS/SSL certificates
- Serverless functions for API routes
- Automatic scaling to handle traffic spikes
Infrastructure details
- Hosting region — Your site is deployed to edge nodes closest to your visitors
- Uptime — Vercel provides 99.99% uptime SLA on paid plans
- Backups — Every deployment is versioned; you can roll back to any previous version instantly
- Bandwidth — Included in your plan; scales automatically with traffic
Deployments
Every change to your site creates a new deployment. You can:
- View deployment history in the Vercel dashboard
- Preview any deployment before it goes live
- Roll back to a previous deployment with one click
- Set up preview deployments for testing changes
Your site runs on serverless infrastructure, meaning there is no single server to maintain, patch, or restart. Vercel handles all infrastructure management automatically.
What you do NOT need to worry about
- Server maintenance or updates
- SSL certificate renewal
- Load balancing for traffic spikes
- CDN configuration
- DDoS protection (included by default)
