VxCloud
React Hosting

React hosting.
Built for virtual machines.

Automated Nginx single-page app configuration, static assets build processing, Let's Encrypt SSL, and multi-cloud CDN options. Run on AWS, GCP, Azure, or Linode.

Start freeSee the CLI

High performance React SPA serving

Host your React apps on flat-rate, high-performance web servers with sensible cache controls, automatic SSL, and standard fallback redirects.

Custom Nginx Serving

Pre-configured Nginx web server containing SPA router fallbacks, gzip compression, and cache headers optimized for static bundles.

Let's Encrypt HTTPS

ACME automated Let's Encrypt provisioning and background auto-renewals. Fully secure frontends without third-party proxy tools.

AWS S3 Static Hosting option

Rather host without VM compute? Use the static hosting module to push builds straight to S3 Buckets / CloudFront CDNs with the same toolset.

Build Argument Injection

Compile environment parameters like API URLs or Auth keys into the bundle at build time using custom deploy parameters.

Unified CI/CD Rollouts

Deploy frontend updates as part of your Git pipeline. Push React builds alongside APIs for synchronized multi-service version changes.

No Seat or Traffic Markups

Run on your own infrastructure. You only pay the raw VPS provider rates for network traffic and VM resources.

Quickstart — React live with HTTPS in 2 commands

1) Provision your cloud VMbash
vxcli vm create \
  --name react-web-vm --cloud aws --region us-east-1 \
  --instance-type t3.micro --key-pair-name AWSPRODKEY2

# Save the public IP address for deployment
export VM_IP=<public-ip-from-output>
2) Deploy your React project (Vite or CRA)bash
vxcli deploy react \
  --source-dir ./ \
  --app-name frontend-app \
  --http-port 80 \
  --build-env VITE_API_URL=https://api.example.com \
  --build-env VITE_AUTH_DOMAIN=auth.example.com \
  --enable-ssl \
  --domain www.example.com \
  --ssl-email [email protected] \
  --host $VM_IP --ssh-user ubuntu --key-pair-name AWSPRODKEY2

# www.example.com is now live. Build steps compile resources, output folders, and serve through Nginx.

React production checklist

  • Configure your bundler (Vite, Webpack) to separate vendors into chunks, keeping entry files small for fast initial LCP scores.
  • Verify Nginx cache headers: static resources (JS, CSS, images) should have long cache TTLs, while index.html must be set to `no-cache`.
  • Inject all required environment parameters using build variables so client requests resolve against correct production endpoints.
  • Place a global CDN like Cloudflare or AWS CloudFront in front of the VM to cache static assets close to regional clients.
  • Keep API URLs flexible or use relative routing when running API and Web apps under same domains behind a unified proxy.
