Deploying High-Performance Next.js 15 Static Exports to Shared cPanel Hosting

## Why Static Export for Enterprise

Many modern web apps suffer from unnecessary server maintenance, expensive Node.js container hosting, and SSR latency spikes. Static export pre-compiles every HTML, CSS, and JS bundle at build time, yielding:

- **Unmatched Security**: Zero server-side runtime code execution vulnerabilities. - **99.999% Reliability**: Served directly by static web servers (Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed). - **Sub-100ms Global TTFB**: Instant cache hits anywhere in the world.

Configuring next.config.ts for Export

Add `output: 'export'` and `images: { unoptimized: true }` to your Next.js configuration:

import type { NextConfig } from 'next';

const nextConfig: NextConfig = { output: 'export', images: { unoptimized: true, }, };

export default nextConfig; ```

Handling Dynamic Routes via generateStaticParams

For dynamic routes like `/blog/[slug]`, implement `generateStaticParams` to tell Next.js which paths to pre-render during `npm run build`:

export async function generateStaticParams() {
  return blogPostsData.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }));
}

Uploading to public_html

After running `npm run build`, Next.js creates the `out/` directory. Simply compress the contents of `out/` into a ZIP archive and extract it directly inside your cPanel `public_html` folder.
