Looking for a Netlify alternative?

About Netlify
Who Netlify are
Netlify is a git-based deployment platform: push to a branch, get an atomic deploy, with deploy previews, serverless functions, forms and identity built in. Paid plans are priced per team member with usage allowances for bandwidth and build minutes.
If you want fixed UK pricing, a dedicated container per site, and email, DNS and tested backups included as standard, here is why teams move to G7Cloud.
The case for switching
Why people leave Netlify for G7Cloud
Fixed pricing, a dedicated container per site, and email, DNS and tested backups included as standard. Here is what changes when you move.
Seats and usage make bills unpredictable
Netlify’s paid plans charge per team member, with allowances for bandwidth and build minutes that carry overage charges when exceeded. G7Cloud plans are one flat GBP price that covers every team member, all your traffic and all your build time. Your invoice is the plan price, every month.
Your app gets a persistent backend
Netlify’s model is static assets plus functions. G7Cloud runs your app as a persistent Node (18/20/22) or framework server in a dedicated container. WebSockets, background work, cron jobs and an in-browser terminal all behave like a normal server, and managed PostgreSQL and Redis are included from Business.
The git workflow you already use
Push-to-deploy from GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket, live build logs, rollback via redeploy, deploy webhooks, environment variables, and PR preview environments on Pro. The deployment ergonomics that made Netlify popular are the baseline here, not the premium.
One platform for the whole business
The marketing site, the app, the client’s WordPress site, the mailboxes and the DNS can all live on one G7Cloud plan. Netlify does frontends; everything else is another provider and another bill.
Static sites too, without the meter
Astro, Vite, plain static builds: all supported as first-class app types. A static site on G7Cloud sits behind ScaleShield with free SSL and no bandwidth metering.
G7Cloud vs Netlify, side by side
What you get on each plan, side by side.
Netlify’s paid plans are priced per team member with usage allowances for bandwidth and build minutes (overage charged). G7Cloud plans are flat GBP with no usage billing.
Fixed prices, one ladder
What switching actually costs
