Next.js hosting, fully managed.
Push to deploy.
Run your Next.js app on HCode, managed app hosting from HostAfrica. Server rendering, API routes and a PostgreSQL database, with no server to look after.
Billed monthly. Cancel anytime.
One pushPush to main and it is live. No servers to set up, no config to fight, just a URL you can send to someone.
PostgreSQLYour database sits right next to your app and gets backed up every day. Grab the connection string and get on with it.
SSL and rollbacksHTTPS is on from the first deploy. Shipped something broken? Roll back to the last good one and breathe.
From $3/moOne flat price in your currency. No surprises when the exchange rate moves, no guessing what next month costs.
Next.js first.The rest of your stack too.
HCode detects Next.js and builds it for you. Run the rest beside it: a Node.js API, a Python worker, Redis or your own Dockerfile.

Every plan includes
- Managed PostgreSQL
- Custom domains & SSL
All prices in USD. Annual figures show the monthly equivalent, billed yearly.
From git pushto a live Next.js app.
Connect a GitHub repository or upload a .zip. HCode detects Next.js, runs your build and serves the app with SSL, so you ship features instead of managing servers.

Live- Provisioning app + PostgreSQL in South Africa…
- SSL configured
- Deployment complete
Built for the wayNext.js apps run.
Server rendering, route handlers and background work need a server that stays up, not just a CDN. HCode gives your Next.js app one, and runs it for you.
Server rendering, included.
Server-rendered pages, route handlers and server actions run on a Node.js process that HCode keeps running for you. Static exports deploy too.
PostgreSQL beside your app.
Every HCode plan includes managed PostgreSQL. Point Prisma, Drizzle or plain SQL at one connection string, and HCode backs the database up every day.
Secrets stay secret.
Set your API keys and database URL as environment variables in the panel. They are stored encrypted and never land in your repository.
Every push, a fresh build.
Push to your branch and HCode builds and deploys the new version. A build that fails never replaces the app that is running.
Roll back in a click.
Shipped a bad release? Put the last good deploy back from the panel, then fix forward without the pressure.
Your domain, with SSL.
Point your own domain at the app and HCode provisions the SSL certificate for you, from the first deploy.
More than hosting.The toolchain comes with it.
Managed PostgreSQL, SSL, backups and rollbacks are part of every HCode plan, so your Next.js app is production-ready on its first deploy.
A database, not a detour.
Managed PostgreSQL and Redis alongside your app, on its own private network. Keep your data close and your setup simple.
Secure from the start.
Your own domain with automated SSL, encrypted secrets and built-in backups. The essentials come with you.
Go forward. Roll back.
A new release goes live without downtime, and one that fails its checks never replaces the app that is running. Need the last one back? Roll back in a click.
One platform.Three ways to build.
Side projects, SaaS products and client work all deploy the same way on HCode. Here is what that looks like for you.
SaaS teams
Build the product.Keep your momentum.
Keep your app, its database and its background workers together, with the building blocks your product needs as it grows.
- Managed PostgreSQL
- Environment variables
- Rollbacks
Agencies
Client work.Without the busywork.
A modern workflow for every client. Every project gets a free subdomain the moment it deploys; add the client’s own domain when they are ready, give each teammate the right role, and bill predictably in your currency.
- Multiple projects
- Custom domains
- Free subdomains

So, why HCode?Let’s compare.
Chances are you have shipped on Vercel, Netlify, Railway or Render, or your AI builder does it for you. All good tools. Here is what changes when your app and its database live in Africa.

Can I host a Next.js app with server-side rendering on HCode?
Yes. HCode runs your Next.js app as a Node.js server, so server-side rendering, route handlers and server actions work the way they do when you run it yourself. A static export deploys too.
Do I have to manage a server or a database?
No. HCode is managed hosting. HostAfrica runs the servers and the PostgreSQL database; you push your code and manage the app from the HCode panel.
Is a database included?
Yes. Managed PostgreSQL comes with every HCode plan and is backed up every day, so there is no separate database to buy. The plan table on this page shows how many databases each plan includes.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Connect a custom domain and HCode provisions the SSL certificate for it automatically.
How do I move an existing Next.js app to HCode?
Connect the GitHub repository or upload a .zip, set your environment variables, and deploy. If the app has a PostgreSQL database, import it from a .sql file or a pg_dump archive. Talk to our team if you would like help planning the move.
What support do I get?
HostAfrica support is available 24/7, and live chat is open during business hours. The HCode docs cover the platform step by step.
How do I get started?
Pick a plan on this page and order it in the HostAfrica panel, then connect your repository. Not sure which plan fits? Talk to our team and we will help you choose.
