The Sovereign Vercel Alternative in India
Git-push deploys in Noida, for apps whose users are in India.
Should you switch from Vercel?
Move off Vercel if bandwidth or seat costs are the problem, or you need a backend next to your frontend. TejasDeploy gives the same git-push deploy in Noida at a flat rupee rate. Stay on Vercel if you lean on its preview infrastructure and edge middleware.
Who should move, and who should stay
Switch to DataDack if
- Next.js and React apps serving mostly Indian users
- Teams hitting bandwidth overage invoices
- Projects that need a database or worker beside the frontend
- Agencies paying per seat for people who deploy rarely
Stay on Vercel if
- You rely heavily on Vercel preview deploys in your review process
- Your app is built around Vercel edge middleware or ISR specifics
- Your audience is mainly outside India
- You want zero infrastructure decisions, at any price

Moving off Vercel, step by step
- Step 1Inventory what runs on Vercel today — instance sizes, disks, open ports and DNS records.
- Step 2Pick the matched DataDack plan and create the instance in the console, in the Noida ap-south-3 region.
- Step 3Move the data: restore from a snapshot or image, or sync the application and database over the VPC.
- Step 4Lower the DNS TTL, cut traffic over to the new IPv4 and verify, then destroy the source instance — billing stops the same hour.
What carries over unchanged
A move off Vercel is a re-host, not a rewrite. These come with you as they are:
- Your Linux distro and kernel
- Docker and docker-compose files
- Nginx, Caddy or HAProxy configs
- Your CI pipeline - only the deploy target changes
- SSH keys and your existing automation
- Postgres, MySQL, Redis and their dumps
- Cron jobs and systemd units
- Your domain and TLS certificates
DataDack vs Vercel: common questions
- How does DataDack's pricing compare with Vercel?
- A DataDack virtual machine starts at ₹1,150/mo (₹2.53/hr) for 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 30 GB. Prices exclude GST. A GST invoice is issued. L3/L4 DDoS and one IPv4 are included. Traffic inside a VPC is ₹0/GB. This page does not state a percentage against Vercel, because no matched list price for Vercel is published here.
- Where do workloads run after moving off Vercel?
- In Noida (ap-south-3), inside Tier-IV facilities operated by Yotta NM1 and CtrlS. Data stays in India. Mumbai is announced and is not a region you can deploy into today. Storing data in India is not the same as the DPDP Act duties that stay with your application: consent, purpose and retention remain yours.
- Is DDoS protection included?
- L3/L4 mitigation is included on every VPS and VM, including the smallest plan. It is not a separate line on the DataDack rate card. Whether another provider includes the same thing is that provider's page, not a claim this one makes for them.
- How is bandwidth billed?
- Tenant bandwidth is 1 Gbps shared. Traffic between subnets inside a VPC is ₹0/GB. A NAT gateway is a flat monthly charge, with no per-GB processing surcharge on top. There is no unmetered attachment and no 10 Gbps tenant port.
- How do I move a single instance off Vercel?
- Inventory the instance, the disk and the DNS record. Create a published DataDack plan in Noida, restore an image or sync the application and the database, lower the DNS TTL, then cut over. The new instance bills hourly, with a monthly cap. Managed databases and object storage are not on the DataDack rate card yet, so a move that depends on those stays on Vercel until they are.
