Strapi
Combine filters →Strapi is a Node.js application: it needs a process kept alive, a database, and persistent storage for uploads, since the default local provider writes to disk and a redeploy on an ephemeral platform loses it. It is usually deployed as the backend to a separate frontend, which means two things to host rather than one.
4 providers document support for Strapi, listed alphabetically. Mostly platform as a service, shared hosting and containers as a service, of 5 categories in all. 116 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.

Do I need special hosting for Strapi?
In most cases, no. Strapi runs on any host that supports its runtime. This list is shorter than that: it holds the providers that document Strapi themselves, with an installer, a guide or a maintained image. Other hosts may run it without mentioning it.
What should I check before hosting Strapi?
The runtime versions on offer, how deploys work, whether there is a shell for command-line tools, where cron jobs run, and which databases come managed. Check backups too, and how to move away later.
Who is the best Strapi hosting provider?
No idea. We list hosts, we don't rate them. Open the records that look close and compare them side by side; the guide says where to start.
