API Backend Hosting in India
Host your application's API backend on infrastructure you fully control — any runtime, reverse proxy of your choice, and DDoS protection included by default. Linux VPS from ₹399/mo.

Unlike a typical website, an API backend is usually a long-running process serving JSON over HTTP to other applications, not browsers rendering HTML.
Root Access, Any Runtime
Install Node.js, Python, Go, Java, or any stack your backend needs — no restriction to a pre-set panel-supported language.
Reverse Proxy Control
Configure Nginx or Caddy as a reverse proxy in front of your API process, handling SSL termination and routing exactly as your architecture requires.
Full Firewall Control
Restrict which ports and IPs can reach your backend directly, useful when the API should only be called by specific frontend services.
DDoS Protection Included
Public API endpoints are common attack targets — protection is included at the network level by default.
Dedicated CPU/RAM
KVM virtualisation gives your API process consistent, isolated resources rather than competing with other tenants on shared infrastructure.
Database Co-location
Run your database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis) on the same VPS or a separate one on the same private network for low-latency access.
A Reference Stack for API Backends
The most common pattern for hosting a production API backend on a Linux VPS: Nginx as a reverse proxy terminating SSL (free via Let's Encrypt) and forwarding requests to your application process on a local port; the application itself (Node/Express, Python/FastAPI or Django, Go's net/http, etc.) managed by a process supervisor (systemd, PM2, supervisord) so it restarts automatically on crash or reboot; and a database, either on the same VPS for simplicity or a separate instance for isolation.
Root access is what makes every part of this configurable exactly to your needs — installing your specific runtime version, setting environment variables and secrets outside of source control, configuring systemd units, and tuning the reverse proxy's timeout and buffering settings for your API's response patterns.
Rate limiting and abuse protection
Beyond the network-level DDoS protection included by default, root access lets you add endpoint-specific rate limiting at the Nginx level (limit_req) for API routes vulnerable to abuse — login/auth endpoints, expensive query endpoints, or public-facing webhooks.
