Vercel + Namecheap stack1 min read

Why we teach Vercel only — and not Cloudflare or Netlify.

Narrow beats complete when you have one day to ship. Here's why we picked Vercel and stuck with it.

Overview

Every CW-2 cohort asks this. The honest answer: Cloudflare Pages and Netlify are also good. We teach Vercel because narrow choice in the room produces faster shipping than complete coverage.

The decision criteria

We picked the one stack that has: a generous free tier, the smoothest Next.js story, the cleanest GitHub integration, and the least friction for someone deploying their first site.

What this means in the room

No comparison slides. No "depending on your choice…" branches. One walkthrough that every attendee can follow without context-switching.

What it means after

If you want to migrate to Cloudflare later, the principles transfer. Next.js runs on any modern host. You'll have the foundations to figure it out without another workshop.
