What do I need to set up v0 on a VPS?

You need a VPS (starting at $4-6/month), SSH access, and the app code in a GitHub repo. For v0 and Next.js, you also need environment variables, a domain, and SSL configured before going live.

How long does it take to move to a VPS?

A straightforward v0 deployment takes 2-4 hours for someone familiar with servers. RepoAssistant does it in 24h with a ship-or-refund guarantee.

How much does it cost to host v0 on a VPS?

A VPS for v0 or Next.js starts at $4-6/month for a 1-2 GB instance from providers like Hetzner, DigitalOcean, or Hostinger. RepoAssistant's deploy service is a fixed $39-149 one-time fee.

What if something breaks after deployment?

Every deployment includes a smoke test (login, forms, database writes, API calls) and a handover doc with restart, rollback, and deploy commands. If the app is blocked pre-launch, we fix and ship within 24h or refund.

v0 migration guide

Move your v0-generated app from preview to a production VPS

v0 can draft the UI fast. Production means exporting the code, wiring the environment, and running it on a server you control.

Next.js v0 VPS

What is probably broken

The UI looks right in v0 preview, but the exported app still needs the real build pipeline, env vars, and host config.

What production should look like

A v0 app deployed to a live server with a repeatable release path, HTTPS, backups, and lower recurring hosting spend.

STEP 01

Export the real app

Move the v0 project into a repo you own and can build outside the preview environment.

Export the v0 project into a GitHub repo.
Check the app framework, build command, and runtime assumptions.
Identify any external services before deploy day.

STEP 02

Restore the runtime on your host

Production breaks when the app depended on preview defaults instead of explicit configuration.

Set production env vars on the server.
Update domains, callbacks, and webhook URLs.
Make sure the app runs behind a process manager or deploy panel.

STEP 03

Ship and smoke test

Once deployed, validate the live user path and the recovery path.

Test the app on the final domain.
Check database writes, auth flows, and API endpoints.
Document the deploy and rollback steps in plain English.
