Next.js on Australian servers.
Node.js native. Agency platform.
Stack2 supports Node.js natively — deploy Next.js frontends and web applications on Australian infrastructure alongside your WordPress sites. The same platform, the same agency dashboard, one Australian provider.
Node.js and Next.js applications, on Australian infrastructure.
Headless WordPress frontends
The primary use case — a Next.js application consuming WordPress content via WPGraphQL or the REST API. Stack2 hosts both the WordPress CMS backend (PHP + MySQL) and the Next.js frontend (Node.js) on the same Australian platform. See the full headless WordPress breakdown.
Next.js marketing sites and landing pages
Next.js sites built independently of WordPress — whether statically generated or server-rendered — can be deployed on Stack2's Australian infrastructure. Fast NVMe storage, Redis caching, and Australian servers for low-latency delivery to Australian visitors.
API layers and backend services
Node.js API services, Next.js API routes, BFF (backend-for-frontend) layers, and other server-side applications that sit alongside a WordPress or other CMS backend. MySQL and Postgres both available for data storage.
Node.js alongside the rest of your toolchain.
Stack2 supports the full application layer — not just PHP. Everything a modern agency stack might need is available on the same platform.
Node.js runtime
Next.js runs on Node.js. Stack2 supports Node.js natively — your application runs in the same Australian environment as your WordPress and PHP workloads.
MySQL, MariaDB, and Postgres
WordPress uses MySQL or MariaDB. If your Next.js application needs its own database — for application state, non-WordPress content, or any other purpose — Postgres is available on the same platform.
Redis
Redis is available for object caching, session state, and page caching. Useful for both the WordPress CMS layer and the Next.js application layer in a headless setup.
Free SSL on all domains
SSL certificates provisioned automatically for all domains on your account — the WordPress backend domain, the Next.js frontend domain, and any additional custom domains.
Australian data residency
All data — MySQL databases, Postgres databases, Redis state, application files — stays on Australian infrastructure. No cross-border data transfer, no data sovereignty complexity.
Agency dashboard
Node.js and Next.js applications managed through the same Stack2 agency dashboard as your WordPress sites. One platform for your whole agency's hosting.
Headless WordPress + Next.js, hosted together.
The most common reason agencies come to Stack2 for Next.js hosting is headless WordPress — running the WordPress CMS backend and the Next.js frontend on the same Australian platform. One vendor, one agency dashboard, Australian data residency for both layers. See the full breakdown of what's involved and how Stack2 supports it.
Headless WordPress + Next.jsYes. Stack2 supports Node.js, which Next.js runs on. Both server-side rendered Next.js applications (SSR) and static exports can be hosted on Stack2. Next.js API routes and middleware run in the Node.js environment as expected.
Yes. Stack2 supports both PHP/WordPress and Node.js on the same platform. A headless WordPress setup — WordPress as the content API, Next.js as the frontend — can be fully hosted on Stack2. See the headless WordPress page for the complete stack breakdown.
MySQL, MariaDB, and Postgres are all available. If your Next.js application connects to a database directly — for user data, application state, or any other purpose — both MySQL and Postgres are available on Stack2's Australian infrastructure alongside your Node.js application.
Stack2 is primarily a WordPress and agency platform — that's the core product. Node.js support is available and production-ready, but the primary context in which agencies use it is headless WordPress (Next.js as the frontend for a WordPress CMS). If you're running a general-purpose Node.js application with no WordPress component, Stack2 is still a valid host — but it's worth a conversation first to make sure it fits. Talk to us.
