# Nexthomelabs — NexHost

> NexHost is managed hosting for backends and frontends by Nexthomelabs. Deploy websites, server-rendered frontends (Next.js/Nuxt/Remix/SvelteKit), APIs, internal services, queues, scheduled jobs, Postgres databases, and one-off workflows from a single dashboard. Each capability is a "service" with source + config + release history. Public runtimes must listen on the injected PORT (bound to 0.0.0.0) and expose an unauthenticated HTTP health path.

## Product summary for agents

- Nexthomelabs (nexthomelabs.com) operates NexHost, a managed hosting
  platform, ProperInbox for business email, and Nextsend for transactional
  email. The company operates its own control plane, authoritative DNS, public
  edge nodes, and isolated runtime workers.
- NexHost supports both static frontends and Node-powered frontend apps, as
  well as APIs, workers, jobs, databases, and workflows. ProperInbox provides
  domain-based business email with webmail. Nextsend provides verified-domain
  transactional email through SMTP and API delivery.
- Workspace organizes projects, services, repositories, domains, and billing. Service creation starts at Dashboard → New Project and asks for service type before source.
- Sources: local folder, ZIP archive, NexHost Git repository (via Next CLI), GitHub, GitLab, public Git URL, or existing container image (Web/Private/Worker/Cron only).
- Static Sites publish an output directory (dist/out/build/.) with no process. Frontend Apps and Web Services build then supervise a process on PORT behind a health check. Private Services are workspace-internal. Background Workers stay alive on queues. Cron Jobs run finite commands on UTC cron. Workflows are on-demand container tasks with timeout+retry. Postgres is private with generated credentials.
- Deployments record Source → Dependencies/Build → Publish/Start → Readiness (health). Build success + health failure = startup/config issue.
- No public REST API. Supported programmatic interface is the Next CLI for hosted Git. Dashboard is the control plane for services, domains, billing.

## Scope

Public docs and legal pages only. No private dashboard, env, secrets, or user data are included.

## Notes

- Static export for Next.js requires `output: "export"` — a normal `.next` build belongs in a Frontend App.
- The custom-domain flow presents the DNS records and verification status in the dashboard (ownership → routing → certificate).
- Public runtimes must bind to `0.0.0.0` on the injected PORT; health path must be unauthenticated and start with "/".
- Supported programmatic surface is the Next CLI for hosted Git; dashboard endpoints are not a public API.
- Legal pages are versioned by Last Updated; contact legal@nexthomelabs.com for the current entity/jurisdiction filing info if needed for a contract review.
- No SOC 2/ISO/HIPAA/PCI certifications are claimed until an audit is actually achieved — see /security and /compliance for the honest posture.
- SLA: 99.9% per eligible Service per calendar month; excludes beta/free-tier, customer-caused, DNS outside our control, backbone/internet, force majeure — see /sla for measurement and credits.
