KeystoneJS Headless CMS Hosting on Offshore VPS

KeystoneJS 6 is a complete rewrite of the earlier Keystone versions, built on Prisma, GraphQL, and Next.js. The framework generates a GraphQL API and an admin UI directly from your schema definitions written in TypeScript. That makes it both a CMS and a backend application framework, suited for teams that want more than just content modeling. A 2GB AnubizHost VPS comfortably hosts Keystone plus a Postgres database side by side.

Node 18 or 20 LTS is recommended; Postgres 14+ is the supported database (MySQL works but is less battle-tested in Keystone 6). NVMe storage matters because Prisma migrations and admin UI metadata queries hit the disk regularly during development and deploy windows.

Keystone's GraphQL API is auto-generated from your schema and includes built-in access control at the field and item level. Combined with Keystone's session and authentication primitives, this gives you a production-ready API surface with minimal boilerplate. Root SSH access on your AnubizHost VPS lets you deploy custom field types, integrate with external auth providers, and tune the Node.js runtime for your specific workload.

For frontend pairings, Keystone integrates cleanly with Next.js (often deployed in the same monorepo), Nuxt, and any GraphQL-capable mobile client. The single-process deployment model means you can run the entire stack - API, admin, frontend - on a single VPS for small projects, or scale out across multiple VPS instances as load increases.

AnubizHost datacenters in Iceland, Romania, Finland, and the Netherlands provide a privacy-friendly home for Keystone deployments. No KYC at signup, no identity verification, and a clear no-logs network policy. Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, and USDT are accepted on every plan with automatic activation on network confirmation.

Daily off-server backups protect your Postgres database. Full root access lets you script additional backup pipelines (pg_dump to remote S3, logical replication to a secondary VPS) on top. Let's Encrypt TLS, fail2ban, and a hardened Nginx default ship on every VPS. Month-to-month crypto billing with no lock-in.
