- Custom domain + HTTPS
- Included, certificate issued automatically
- Commercial use
- Not on Hobby — Pro — The one limit people discover late
- Config it reads

Framer hosting against the same site on Vercel
| Framer hosting | The capture on Vercel | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the files live | Framer's infrastructure | Your repository and your Vercel project |
| Bandwidth included | 1 GB free, 50 GB Basic, 100 GB Pro | 100 GB on Hobby, more on Pro |
| Publishing a change | Publish from the Framer editor | Push to the repository; every push redeploys |
| What a rollback is | Framer's own history | A previous deployment, kept by Vercel |
| If you stop paying | The site stops being served | The files are still on your disk |
