Deploying and Testing Next.js on a Virtual Private Server (VPS)
I share my experience deploying and testing a Next.js web application on a Virtual Private Server (VPS). I explain why you might host your Next.js application on a VPS, such as customization or location requirements.
For my VPS provider, I chose Hetzner, but there are many options available.
I'll walk you through the deployment process, including installing Node.js, checking for Git, and using the node version manager. Then, I’ll run my automated Cypress tests and see how well a VPS supports Next.js features.
