Traditional content management systems bundle everything together. We’re talking the backend, the frontend, the hosting, the whole package. Strapi takes a different approach. It focuses entirely on managing your content and serving it through APIs, letting you build the experience layer however you want. React, Vue, Angular, mobile apps, IoT devices—use whatever technology makes sense for your project.
Your developers get the freedom to build with any technology they want. And when you run it on Kamatera’s cloud infrastructure, you’re not dealing with arbitrary limits or forced upgrade paths. You get exactly the resources you need, configured exactly how you want them.

Strapi hosting is the specialized server environment required to run the Strapi headless CMS. Unlike traditional CMS platforms like WordPress that often run on simple PHP hosting, Strapi is built on Node.js. This requires a hosting provider that supports a JavaScript runtime environment and can manage a continuous background process to keep your API active and accessible.
An effective Strapi hosting setup provides a dedicated database (such as PostgreSQL or MariaDB) and enough RAM to handle the content API and the administrative dashboard.
The recommended mininum hardware specifications for your server are:
CPU
Recommended: 2+ cores
Minimum: 1 core
Memory
Recommended: 4GB+
Minimum: 2GB
Disk
Recommended: 32GB+
Minimum: 8GB
For more information on requirements and prerequisites, refer to the Strapi deployment guide.
Our platform features built-in DDoS protection, isolated virtual environments, and two-factor authentication for account management. With 20+ global locations, you can maintain data residency compliance while relying on a network designed without single points of failure.
Strapi is most commonly used for powering headless websites, mobile applications, and omnichannel digital experiences. It serves as a centralized content hub that delivers data via API to modern frontend frameworks like Next.js or Nuxt, making it ideal for e-commerce catalogs, corporate blogs, and internal business dashboards.
Kamatera offers several layers of protection. You can enable automatic daily backups for a small monthly fee, which are kept for 14 days. For immediate rollbacks during updates, you can take manual snapshots of your entire server. We also recommend using our cloud block storage for persistent, scalable database storage.
Scaling happens three ways: vertically, horizontally, or combined with Kamatera’s diagonal scaling.
Vertical scaling means adding resources to your existing server: more CPU cores, more RAM, more storage. This is easy with Kamatera’s flexible cloud platform.
Horizontal scaling means deploying multiple Strapi instances behind a load balancer, distributing traffic across several servers. You can also separate your database onto its own server for optimal performance.
For extremely high traffic, implement caching layers with Redis or Varnish to reduce database queries. Many successful deployments handle millions of API requests monthly through strategic combinations of these approaches.
During the 30-day trial period, you may create one server with a configuration costing up to $100. You will have 1 TB of free traffic (including both inbound and outbound traffic). Customers must provide a valid credit card to start the trial, but the card will not be charged if you stay within the usage limits stated above. If you wish to cancel the free trial, you can simply terminate your server without incurring any charges. However, if you do not cancel before the trial ends, we will begin charging for services used.
Kamatera provides round-the-clock customer service to help you resolve your queries quickly. Our support desk is open 24/7/365 to ensure that you can always reach a human being that is available and capable of assisting you.
