Best Next.js hosting in Europe in 2026

Q: Does next/image work on Eurobase?

next/image works, but Eurobase serves each image at its original size and doesn't resize on request. Resize images before you add them, or use an image service that resizes them.

Six places to run a Next.js app in the EU, compared on who runs them, what they cost and which Next.js features their own docs confirm.

If you want a managed Next.js host run by an EU business, Eurobase builds your app from Git and runs it on European infrastructure for a flat €10 or €20 a month. Sliplane suits you if you'd rather run next start in an always-on container at a fixed price, and Coolify on Hetzner suits teams who are happy to manage their own server. Clever Cloud and Scalingo fit a Next.js app that sits next to a managed database, and Vercel documents ISR, image optimization and middleware in its European regions, but it's a US company.

"Not documented" means the provider's own docs don't say. Prices and features are from each provider's own page, checked on 10 November 2026.

What to check for a Next.js app

Who you sign with. Vercel lets you pick Paris, Frankfurt, Dublin, London or Stockholm, but the contract is with Vercel Inc. under California law. A European region doesn't make the provider European. Read EU region vs EU company.
Where ISR pages are stored. Vercel's docs say self-hosted ISR doesn't persist generated pages to durable storage by default and is limited to one region. Ask each host where your cached pages live and how revalidation reaches them.
Image optimization. On a self-hosted Next.js server, the same server that renders your pages resizes your images. Some hosts don't resize at all.
Middleware and `proxy.ts`. If you've moved to the Next.js 16 proxy.ts, test it on the new host first.
Always-on or idle stop. A container that always runs has no cold starts. A runtime that stops when idle starts again on the next request.

1. Eurobase

Eurobase detects Next.js in your repository, builds it with OpenNext and runs it on V8 isolates, with no build or start command to set. It needs next 14.2.35 or later. You deploy from GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, Forgejo or Gitea, or a coding agent deploys through the MCP server or CLI. The business is registered in Warsaw, Poland, and Scaleway, a French provider, runs the infrastructure.

The App Router, server rendering, route handlers and edge middleware work. use cache, fetch caching and ISR pages are stored on Eurobase, with revalidateTag and revalidatePath.

Best for: Next.js apps that should stay on European infrastructure at a flat price, deployed by you or a coding agent.
Price: a Free plan, then Starter at €10 and Pro at €20 a month + VAT for the workspace, with no price per seat. There are no usage charges today: work over a limit is refused, apps on V8 isolates stop until the monthly reset, and static sites keep serving.
What it lacks: image resizing, since next/image serves each image at its original size. Node.js middleware, including proxy.ts, is experimental in OpenNext. Postgres drivers that connect over TCP don't work, and there are no preview deployments or managed Postgres. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are in progress.

See Next.js hosting on Eurobase for the full list, or follow Deploy a Next.js app.

2. Vercel in its European regions

Vercel maintains Next.js, and its docs list ISR with pages kept in durable storage, image optimization on demand, streaming, Partial Prerendering and middleware. It has 19 compute regions, 5 of them in Europe: Stockholm, Paris, Dublin, Frankfurt and London. Functions run in Washington, D.C. unless you change the region.

Best for: teams that want every Next.js feature on day one and don't need an EU company as their provider.
Price: Hobby is $0 for personal, non-commercial use. Pro is $20 a month per developer seat, with $20 of usage included, then usage billing such as $0.05 per 1,000 image transformations.
What it lacks: an EU legal entity. Vercel Inc. is a US company with terms under California law.

3. Sliplane

Sliplane is run by a German company in Berlin. It connects to your GitHub repository, detects the stack and runs your app as a container with zero-downtime deploys. Its Next.js page says ISR, on-demand revalidation, middleware, route handlers and Server Actions work because the app runs next build and next start.

Best for: one or several Next.js apps on a fixed-price server, without writing a Dockerfile.
Price: from €9 + VAT per server, and you can run as many apps on it as fit.
What it lacks: image optimization, which its Next.js page doesn't mention. Its US and Singapore regions sit beside the German and Finnish ones, so choose the region on purpose.

4. Coolify on Hetzner

Coolify is open-source software that adds a deploy dashboard to a server you own. For Next.js, its docs offer a Nixpacks build for a server app, a static build that serves the out folder, or your own Dockerfile. Hetzner is a German host with cloud servers in Falkenstein and Nuremberg in Germany and in Helsinki in Finland.

Best for: teams that can patch and watch a server and want the lowest monthly bill.
Price: self-hosted Coolify is free. Coolify Cloud starts at $5 a month for 2 servers. Hetzner's smallest cloud server is listed at €5.49 a month excl. VAT in Helsinki and €6.49 in Germany, but those cheapest plans showed as unavailable to order on 10 November 2026.
What it lacks: support when the server breaks at night. Patching, backups, security and uptime stay with you.

5. Scalingo

Scalingo is a French platform in the Heroku style, based in Strasbourg, with ISO 27001 certification. Its Next.js guide runs the app in standalone mode: set output: 'standalone', copy .next/static and public in a build script, and start .next/standalone/server.js. Scalingo says this cut an image from 547 MB to 200 MB.

Best for: a Next.js front end next to a managed database, on a certified French platform.
Price: containers from €7.20 a month for 256 MB, estimated over 30 days, excl. VAT. Databases cost extra.
What it lacks: a list of supported Next.js features. Its guide covers only the build.

6. Clever Cloud

Clever Cloud is a French platform that runs each instance in its own virtual machine. A Next.js app deploys like any Node.js app: Clever Cloud installs your dependencies and runs scripts.start from package.json, or the command you set in CC_RUN_COMMAND.

Best for: companies that want a certified French host with many add-ons next to the app.
Price: by instance size and count, with free credits to start and no card needed.
What it lacks: a Next.js guide. Its framework guides cover Astro, Nuxt and SvelteKit, but not Next.js, so you set up the build yourself.

How to choose

Pick Eurobase for a managed Next.js host run by an EU business at a flat euro price, if you can resize images ahead of time.
Pick Sliplane when you want plain next start behaviour on one fixed-price server in Germany or Finland.
Pick Coolify on Hetzner if the lowest bill matters more than your time.
Pick Scalingo or Clever Cloud when the app needs a managed database and a certified provider.
Stay on Vercel if you rely on on-demand image optimization or preview deployments and an EU company isn't a requirement.

Frequently asked questions

Can I host Next.js in the EU without a US company?

Yes. Eurobase, Sliplane, Scalingo and Clever Cloud are European businesses, and Coolify on Hetzner runs on a German host. Vercel's European regions keep compute in Europe, but your provider is still Vercel Inc.

Does ISR work outside Vercel?

It does on some hosts. Eurobase stores ISR pages and supports revalidateTag and revalidatePath. Sliplane says ISR and on-demand revalidation work because next start runs in one always-on container. On a self-managed server, ISR pages live in the Next.js cache unless you add storage.

Does next/image work on Eurobase?

next/image works, but Eurobase serves each image at its original size and doesn't resize on request. Resize images before you add them, or use an image service that resizes them.

Can I keep using Server Actions?

Sliplane says they run on its platform. The other providers here don't document them, so deploy a test branch and try a form before you move.
