Strapi VPS Hosting

Order a VPS, open One-Click Apps in your dashboard and pick Strapi from the Coolify marketplace. Coolify deploys the Strapi service and gives you a URL for the admin panel, where you create your first admin user. Prefer a manual setup with Docker or Node.js? Full root access via SSH is included. Read the One-Click Apps guide

• Pick Strapi in the Coolify app marketplace
• Attach a domain and let Coolify issue SSL
• Create your first admin user at /admin

The Strapi Community Edition is open source under the MIT license, so there is no license fee. You pay only for the VPS package. The prices in the package section above load live from the shop and depend on RAM, CPU, storage, term and the location you choose.

• No license fee for the Community Edition
• One server price for CMS, database and frontend
• Live prices per package in the shop

Strapi's documentation lists 2 GB RAM and one CPU core as the minimum, with 4 GB and two cores recommended. Coolify and the database share the same VPS, so plan for at least 4 GB, more if your frontend runs there too. The simplest setup: deploy Strapi via Coolify, use PostgreSQL in production and scale the package up as content and traffic grow.

• Minimum: 2 GB RAM, 1 CPU core
• Recommended: 4 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores
• Add headroom for Coolify, database and frontend

Strapi Cloud is Strapi's managed hosting: infrastructure, scaling and updates are handled for you on a subscription. A VPS is the self-hosted path: you run the open-source Community Edition, keep the database and media on your own server, add a frontend or other services and pay one server price. Choose Cloud for zero server work, a VPS for full control and data ownership.

• VPS: root access and your own data location
• VPS: frontend and CMS on one server
• Cloud: infrastructure managed by Strapi

Back up the database and the uploads folder first, then run Strapi's upgrade tool (npx @strapi/upgrade) or bump the @strapi packages in your project. If you deploy your own repository through Coolify, a Git push triggers the redeploy. Manual VPS Backups and restores in the dashboard are available with a ZapX Pass. Learn more about Backups
