Switching from Vercel

Moving from Vercel? Connect the same GitHub repo or upload a ZIP, and import your environment variables from a .env file in one step. Test everything on a temporary domain first. Your Vercel site stays live until you point your domain to Hostinger. Built with v0? The same steps work. Read the migration guide →

I could manage the hosting, domain name, and SSL certificate in one place, which was really refreshing.

Migrating to Hostinger was the best decision I ever made.

We honestly reference Hostinger as the benchmark for our engineers when providing support.

Hostinger vs Vercel FAQs

For most projects, yes. Hostinger is one flat price: $3.99/mo on a 48-month plan, renewing at $16.99/mo, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Vercel Pro costs $20 per developer seat each month, with a matching $20 of usage credit per seat, and usage beyond that is billed on top. A three-person team on Vercel pays $60/mo before any usage. On Hostinger, there are no per-seat fees.

No. Hostinger includes unlimited bandwidth (subject to our Fair Usage Policy) with no overage charges. On Vercel Pro, bandwidth is charged at $0.15/GB once you go past the included 1 TB. Vercel lets you set a spending limit, but reaching it can automatically pause all your projects.

Connect the same GitHub repository or upload your project as a ZIP file. Hostinger detects your framework and builds the app for you. You can test it on a temporary domain first, so your Vercel site stays live until you point your domain to Hostinger.

You can bulk-import them by uploading a .env file, and they stay in place across future deployments. One tip before you start: Vercel only decrypts variables marked as sensitive during builds, so have the original values for your secret keys ready.

Yes. Next.js is detected automatically, and v0 apps, which are usually Next.js projects, can be moved over through GitHub. Make sure your Node.js version matches your project. Hostinger supports versions 18, 20, 22, and 24.

Yes, and it’s worth knowing before you switch. Hostinger doesn’t offer preview deployments, serverless functions, or scale-to-zero. If you use Vercel-native features like Edge Functions or Vercel Blob storage, set up alternatives before moving. In return, your app runs always-on, with long-running processes and WebSocket connections that stay open. On Vercel, WebSocket connections close when a function reaches its maximum duration.

Yes. Every plan includes managed MySQL with connection details wired into your app automatically, plus a 1-click Supabase integration.
