Europe
A European alternative to US hosting platforms.
x402-hosting is a European alternative to the big US hosting platforms — not a clone of them, but a different model. It is built in Amsterdam, deploys a Next.js project with one command, charges $0.20 per project-day prepaid in USDC, and never asks you to create an account.
A different model, not a smaller clone
Most alternatives imitate the incumbent with fewer features. This one starts from different assumptions. Where a US platform centers on an account, x402-hosting has no account at all. Where they bill a card monthly, x402-hosting sells prepaid project-days in USDC. Where they hold your project inside their tenancy, x402-hosting binds ownership to your wallet. And where they organize work around a dashboard, x402-hosting exposes a CLI and an HTTP API as the primary surface. Each difference removes a layer of institutional machinery between you and a running project.
Four contrasts, concretely
- No account, password, or API key — versus account-first onboarding
- Prepaid USDC at $0.20 per project-day — versus monthly card billing
- Wallet ownership of the project — versus platform tenancy
- CLI and HTTP as the interface — versus a dashboard
One command instead of a dashboard
$ npx x402-hosting@latest deploy --days 30
The CLI builds locally with OpenNext, the API replies with an HTTP 402 payment challenge — the authoritative quote — and the project publishes once payment settles. Thirty days costs $6.01 in total, with fixed $0.01 prices for redeploys, rollbacks, transfers, and deletion. Status and deployment history are free to read, so verifying state never requires a paid call. Local builds run before payment, so a build failure costs nothing either. The full list is on the pricing page.
Honest about what is not European
The European part of x402-hosting is the company and the model: built in Amsterdam, priced in fixed prepaid terms, designed for direct dealing. The runtime is not an EU-only enclave. Projects publish as Cloudflare Workers and serve from Cloudflare's global network, which is what makes them fast worldwide. If your requirement is strict EU data residency, this is not that product, and it does not claim to be.
Who the alternative suits
This model fits builders who are tired of platform overhead: no procurement of an account, no billing page to audit, no tier to outgrow. It also fits teams handing operations to a software agent, because a wallet, a CLI, and fixed prices are things an agent can operate autonomously. Supported Next.js versions are 15.5.21 up to (but not including) 16, and 16.2.11 and later. If you want a production URL with the least institutional machinery around it, that is the alternative on offer.
