Do I need to have an account on a cloud provider to use Wodby?

You can connect your own managed Kubernetes provider or use one dedicated server for self-hosted Kubernetes. Alternatively, you can use Wodby Cloud when you do not want the cluster in your own cloud account or on your own server.

Can I use Wodby with a dedicated server?

Yes. Wodby supports budget single-server self-hosted Kubernetes setups with K3s, a lightweight open-source Kubernetes distribution, when you do not need Kubernetes scaling.

I couldn't find my specific application stack, how do I start?

Start with the closest pre-configured stack and customize it, or build a stack from managed services. You can also contact Wodby to request a new stack.

Will I be vendor locked-in to Wodby?

No. Wodby is built on open standards like Kubernetes. You can disconnect your cluster and keep running your apps, but Wodby-managed tasks stop.

I have a small website (PHP, MySQL). How much would it cost? What if I deploy 10 of them?

Pricing is based on total app services. One site with Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL is 3 services and falls under the $48/month minimum tier. Ten such sites total 30 services and cost $60/month. Extra CI/CD minutes and registry storage are billed separately.

Next.js Hosting

Host Next.js applications with Wodby using a managed stack and a Kubernetes-based runtime. Wodby Cloud is Wodby’s hosted cluster option for teams that do not want to run the cluster in their own cloud account or on their own server.

Wodby Cloud gives you persistent Wodby-hosted clusters billed by resource usage. Managed Kubernetes stays available when you need scaling; self-hosted Kubernetes with K3s is the budget single-server path when one server is enough.

Start with Wodby Wodby Cloud pricing

Managed Next.js stack

Deploy Next.js on a ready-to-run stack instead of hand-assembling services, runtime configuration, and deployment workflow.

No separate cluster to bring

Use Wodby Cloud when you want the Wodby workflow without running the cluster in your own cloud account or on your own server.

Alternative infrastructure paths

Use managed Kubernetes when you need scaling, or self-hosted Kubernetes with K3s on one server when you need a tighter hosting budget.

Managed hosting model

Wodby Cloud for managed Next.js hosting

If you do not want to use your own Kubernetes cluster or server, Wodby Cloud is the most direct way to host Next.js on Wodby. It lets you deploy to a persistent Wodby-hosted cluster billed according to the resources you actually use.

That makes Wodby Cloud a strong fit for product teams and agencies that want repeatable Next.js environments without needing their own cloud account, cluster, or server setup.

Why start with Wodby Cloud

No need to set up your own cloud account, Kubernetes cluster, or server before deploying Next.js apps.
Persistent Wodby-hosted clusters billed hourly in Wodby Cloud compute credits.
Paid plans include 1000 compute credits per month for Wodby Cloud usage.
Good fit for production frontends, previews, and full-stack Next.js applications on the platform.

Platform features

More than hosting for Next.js

Wodby Cloud gives you the platform around the stack, not just a place to run it. Teams can manage environments, delivery flow, and day-to-day operations in one system instead of combining separate hosting and deployment tools.

That means the value on these hosting pages is both managed infrastructure and a repeatable application platform for ongoing work.

What you get from the platform

Managed Next.js stack with services that work together out of the box.
Environment management for production, staging, and development.
Integrated CI/CD and repo-based delivery flow.
Built-in backups, SSL, and app operations.

Alternative hosting options when you want more control

Managed Kubernetes

Managed Kubernetes is the stronger fit when Next.js workloads need more scaling flexibility, easier upgrades, and a cleaner path to resilient production infrastructure in your own cloud account.

Managed Kubernetes options

Budget self-hosted Kubernetes

Self-hosted Kubernetes with K3s on one dedicated server or VM is a more affordable option for smaller Next.js applications, preview environments, and lower-traffic workloads that do not need Kubernetes scaling.

Read more on the self-hosted Kubernetes with K3s page.

Who this is for

Product teams, frontend platforms, and agencies usually get the clearest value from starting on Wodby Cloud because it reduces setup time and keeps hosting operations simpler.

If infrastructure ownership matters more later, the same stack can move to managed Kubernetes in your own account or to a single-server self-hosted Kubernetes setup.

We moved our Drupal hosting to use Wodby and changed our development workflow to use Docker at the same time. Now we can concentrate on Drupal development and we're not losing time configuring servers etc. When a site needs additional resources or hosting in a different region we can be way more responsive as deploying a new instance takes no time at all.

Wodby’s innovative infrastructure helped us to increase the speed and simplify our app deployment, while also leaving us the freedom of handling our hosting and not locking us on a specific pattern. We are now much more robust for future growth and will be able to innovate faster.
