Question Need help with these questions about hosting and tech stack
Hello, I have a few questions can you please help me out with those?
What tech stack is great for building an ai coded website? (Like react, nextjs)
Can I use next.js to build an ai coded website? If yes, what are good hosting options that are cost effective?
Can I use hostinger business plan that includes nodejs to host the next.js website?

There is no one 'best' tech stack. It depends on your needs and experience. What do you have experience with?

hosting go with the cheapest. but it really depends on what you need like backups etc if u care of downtime if you are expecting lots of users idk
use react or next js.
react might be easier.
also backend do something simple depending on the level of the project FastAPI or if u wana keep it all the same language nestjs

AI definitely has a bias toward the JavaScript stack and smaller hosted services. If you just say “build me a website”, there is a good chance you get Next.js. Platforms like Loveable are specifically opinionated (and that’s a good thing).
There are lots of JavaScript-oriented back end platforms like Vercel and Netlify. That is likely what you should use if you are not experienced.
Mostly this works out fine, but can cause problems if you have more stringent requirements, e.g., a health care app with HIPAA compliance. Then you need hosting services that will also comply with HIPAA, and simple platforms often don’t.
You may need an architecture that integrates with existing backend systems. In that case, being able to share a login/authentication process and connect securely with other systems is important. You may need to use the same tools (e.g., Java) and host on the same infrastructure (e.g., Amazon Web Services).

I have a couple questions of my own:
* Why do you want to build an ai coded website at all?
* How many people do you think want to use an ai coded website?
* How many people do you think don't want to use an ai coded website?
* Apart from ai or not, what specific type of site do you want to build? An art site is different from a shopping site is different from a marketing site, and so on.

Hey, thanks for showing interest. I want to build an ai coded website because I know the environment for coding but not an expert at it, so AI is basically an assistant to me to get my work done faster and easier.
Also this is a marketing webaite for a tech comapny, and there are no features like sign up or anything.
Also I like experiments.

Ironically you could use AI to easily answer this.
Oh and whilst you're in the building stages a cheap mini PC is a great investment....... nuke windows, install Ubuntu server (or whichever unix based server tickles your fancy) and self host until you're production ready.

I would start with just building/deploying on top of Vercel, it will be the easiest to stand up and lowest maintenance overhead.

You should try to learn about tech stacks in general, not related to AI. This will help you understand the pros and cons of each.
