Vercel, Railway, AWS or Hostinger? Choosing the Right Host for Your Project
A plain-English comparison of Vercel, Railway, AWS and Hostinger — and how we decide where to deploy each website, app backend and API.
Picking a host is one of the first technical decisions in any project, and the wrong choice can cost you money every month. Here is how we choose.
Quick comparison
| Platform | Best for | Effort to manage |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel | Next.js websites and web apps | Very low |
| Railway | APIs, background workers, databases | Low |
| AWS | Large or custom systems at scale | Higher |
| Hostinger | Simple websites and WordPress | Low |
Our rule of thumb
- Marketing site or web app in Next.js? Vercel — preview links for every change and a global CDN.
- Need an API or database? Railway, unless you already run on AWS.
- Strict compliance or very high scale? AWS.
- Small brochure site on a tight budget? Hostinger.
Whatever the platform, every project gets automatic deployments, SSL and accounts owned by the client — never by us.
