Best places to host a Nuxt app in Europe in 2026
Where a Nuxt 4 app can run on European infrastructure, from Git-based platforms to your own server, and what each host asks you to configure.
If you want to push a Nuxt repository and get a running app with no Nitro preset to pick, Eurobase detects Nuxt and runs it on European infrastructure for a flat €10 or €20 a month. Clever Cloud and Scalingo run Nuxt as a Node.js server, which suits apps that talk to Postgres over TCP or need ISO 27001 today. Sliplane and Coolify on Hetzner suit teams that would rather pay for a server and run Nuxt as a container.
Vercel and Netlify both build Nuxt with no configuration and offer European regions, but they're US companies and their functions start in the US unless you change the region.
Nuxt hosts in Europe at a glance
| Platform | Company | How Nuxt runs | Starts at | Main catch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eurobase | Warsaw, Poland | Detected, on V8 isolates | Free, then €10 a month + VAT | No TCP database drivers or file system in server routes |
| Clever Cloud | France | Node.js or static app, guide on nuxt.com | Free credits, then by instance size | You set the build and run commands |
| Scalingo | Strasbourg, France | Node.js buildpack with a Procfile | €7.20 a month per container, excl. VAT | No Nuxt-specific guide |
| Sliplane | Berlin, Germany | Container from GitHub or an image | €9 per server, excl. VAT | You size and pay for the server |
| Coolify on Hetzner | Open source, on a German host | Container on your own server | Free software, servers from €5.49 a month excl. VAT, if available to order | Updates, backups and uptime are yours |
| Vercel | US company | Zero-config Nitro preset | Hobby $0, Pro $20 per seat a month | Functions default to Washington, D.C. |
| Netlify | US company | Zero-config Nitro preset | Not stated | EU function regions need a Pro or Enterprise plan |
Prices and regions come from each provider's own pages, read on 10 November 2026.
What to check for a Nuxt app
- Which Nitro output the host expects. Nuxt builds through Nitro, and its default output is a Node.js server. Some hosts are detected automatically, some want a preset, and some just run
node .output/server/index.mjs. - How your server routes reach the database. A Node.js host can open TCP connections to Postgres or MySQL. An isolate runtime can't, so you'd use the database's HTTP API instead.
- Where Nitro storage and cached handlers live. In memory, each instance keeps its own copy. If you rely on
useStorage()for data you must keep, check what backs it on the new host. - Who the provider is. A Frankfurt region on a US platform still means a US contract. Look at the company name in the terms.
- What happens when you hit a limit. Flat plans refuse extra work, and usage billing keeps serving and sends a larger bill.
1. Eurobase
Eurobase builds Nuxt from GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, Forgejo or Gitea and runs it on V8 isolates on European infrastructure. You don't set a build command, start command or Nitro preset, since the preset is added during the build. Server-side rendering and server routes answer at one address, and runtimeConfig reads NUXT_ variables as usual. Coding agents can deploy through its MCP server and CLI.
Nuxt 4 builds without a warning. Nuxt 3.21.0 or later still builds, with a warning that Nuxt 3 reached end of life on 31 July 2026.
- Best for: Nuxt apps whose data sits behind an HTTP API, such as Supabase, or in SQLite, at a predictable monthly price.
- Price: a Free plan, then Starter at €10 and Pro at €20 a month + VAT for the workspace, with no charge per member.
- Company: registered in Warsaw, Poland, on European infrastructure operated by Scaleway, a French provider.
- What it lacks: Postgres and MySQL drivers over TCP, file reads from server routes, KV storage behind Nitro, image resizing on request, preview deployments and Dockerfile builds. It doesn't hold ISO 27001 or SOC 2 yet; both are in progress.
The Nuxt hosting page lists what works and the limits, and the Nuxt guide covers runtimeConfig, storage and cookies.
2. Clever Cloud
Clever Cloud has its own guide on nuxt.com/deploy. You create a Node.js application, set CC_POST_BUILD_HOOK to your build command and CC_RUN_COMMAND to node .output/server/index.mjs. For a site generated ahead of time, a static application serves .output/public instead. The guide asks for an M instance for the build and at least XS to run the app. Clever Cloud says it runs its own datacenters in France, and it names hosting partners such as OVHcloud and Scaleway.
- Best for: Nuxt apps that need a managed database next to them, or an ISO 27001 certified provider.
- Price: by instance size and count, with free credits and no card needed to start.
- What it lacks: a fixed monthly figure on the pricing page. You estimate with its calculator.
3. Scalingo
Scalingo is a Heroku-style platform with its registered office in Strasbourg. Nuxt runs on its Node.js buildpack: the platform starts the app from a Procfile or the start script in package.json. A line such as web: node .output/server/index.mjs is all a Nuxt server needs. All its datacenters are in Europe, it's ISO 27001 certified, and it offers a SecNumCloud region based on Outscale.
- Best for: French public-sector or health projects, and teams used to Heroku.
- Price: from €7.20 per container a month, estimated over 30 days and excluding VAT. Databases cost extra.
- What it lacks: a Nuxt page in its documentation, so you write the
Procfileyourself.
4. Sliplane
Sliplane is run by Sliplane GmbH in Berlin. It deploys from a GitHub repository or a container image, detects the framework and redeploys on each push with no downtime. You pay for a server and run as many services on it as fit, so a Nuxt app, its Postgres and a worker can share one bill.
- Best for: Nuxt apps that sit next to other containers, such as a database or a CMS.
- Price: from €9 for 1 vCPU and 1 GB of RAM, excl. VAT. Managed Postgres starts at €19 a month. A demo server is free for 48 hours.
- What it lacks: Nuxt-specific handling. Its region list reaches beyond Europe to the US and Singapore, so check where the server is before you deploy.
5. Coolify on Hetzner
Coolify is open-source software that adds Git deploys and a dashboard to a server you own. Hetzner is a German host with cloud servers in Falkenstein, Nuremberg and Helsinki.
- Best for: developers who are comfortable running Linux and want the smallest bill.
- Price: self-hosted Coolify is free, and Coolify Cloud costs $5 a month for 2 connected servers. Hetzner Cloud is listed from €5.49 a month excl. VAT in Helsinki and €6.49 in Germany, though the cheapest plans showed as unavailable to order on 10 November 2026.
- What it lacks: an operator. Security updates, backups and restarts are your work.
6. Vercel or Netlify in a European region
Both platforms appear on nuxt.com/deploy, and Nitro detects them during the build, so a Nuxt app needs no preset. Vercel functions run in Washington, D.C. by default, and you can move them to Stockholm, Paris, Dublin, Frankfurt or London. Netlify functions start in Ohio. Dublin, Frankfurt and London are self-serve on Pro and Enterprise plans, and Paris and Milan need a request to support.
- Best for: teams that want preview deployments and a global network, where a US provider is acceptable.
- What it lacks: a European company. Vercel Inc. uses terms under California law, and Netlify, Inc. is based in San Francisco.
How to choose
- Pick Eurobase if your Nuxt app reads data over HTTP and you want a flat euro price with nothing to configure.
- Pick Clever Cloud or Scalingo if server routes connect to Postgres directly or you need certifications today.
- Pick Sliplane if Nuxt is one of several containers you want on one server.
- Pick Coolify on Hetzner if you'd trade your own time for the lowest cost.
- Stay on Vercel or Netlify with an EU region if you need preview deployments and a US company is fine.
To move an existing app, see Migrate from Vercel or Migrate from Netlify.
Frequently asked questions
Can I host Nuxt in Europe without a Nitro preset?
Yes. Eurobase adds the preset during the build. On Clever Cloud, Scalingo, Sliplane or Coolify, the default Node.js server output works, and you point the host at .output/server/index.mjs.
Does Nuxt SSR work on European hosts?
Yes, on every option here. Eurobase runs it on V8 isolates, and the others run the Node.js server that Nuxt builds by default.
Can my Nuxt server routes connect to Postgres?
On a Node.js host such as Clever Cloud, Scalingo, Sliplane or Coolify, yes. On Eurobase, TCP drivers don't connect, so use an HTTP API such as Supabase's or a SQLite database.
Is Nuxt on Vercel's Frankfurt region GDPR-safe?
The region keeps your functions in Germany, but Vercel Inc. is a US company with terms under California law. If your contract asks for an EU provider, a European region on its own isn't enough.
Can I deploy a static Nuxt site in Europe?
Yes. Run nuxt generate and serve .output/public. Clever Cloud documents a static application for this, with a Static Apache app when routes can't be prerendered.
