Vercel (previously zeit) is similar to Netlify, making deployment of sites easy.
The sites are hosted by Vercel and automatically deployed whenever we push a
commit to our selected production branch (e.g, master).
If you don't have an account with Vercel, you can sign up [here](https://vercel.com/signup).
## Automatic deploys
Once you sign up you can import your site from a Git provider (Github, GitLab or Bitbucket).
After the import, you can set the settings for your project.
- Choose Framework Preset as **Other**
- Build command as `zola build` and make sure toggle on Override switch.
- By default Vercel chooses output directory as `public`, if you use a different directory then specify output directory.
- To add your own domain, go to domain setting in left and add it there.
All we have to is include a `vercel.json` in our project's root directory by
specifying the `ZOLA_VERSION` we want to use to deploy the site.
```
{
"build": {
"env": {
"ZOLA_VERSION": "0.11.0"
}
}
}
```
And your site should now be up and running.
