Deploy Directus in one click installation.
Open-source headless CMS that wraps any SQL database with auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs.
What you can build with Directus
Directus is a flexible, open-source headless CMS that sits on top of any SQL database and instantly provides a dynamic REST and GraphQL API alongside an intuitive admin interface. Unlike CMS platforms that impose rigid content structures, Directus lets you model data exactly the way your application needs it — then generates a full API automatically, with no code required.
Self-hosting Directus on your own VPS keeps your content, media assets, and user data completely under your control. You avoid per-seat pricing, API rate limits, and the risk of vendor lock-in, while gaining the flexibility to extend the platform with custom extensions, webhooks, and integrations tailored to your workflow.
Key features of Directus
Auto-generated APIs
Every data model you create instantly produces REST and GraphQL endpoints, eliminating manual API development work.
Intuitive admin interface
Non-technical users can manage content, media, and structured data through a polished interface without touching code.
Role-based permissions
Define granular access rules per role, collection, and field to control exactly who can read or write which data.
Real-time subscriptions
WebSocket-based subscriptions let client applications react to data changes instantly without polling.
Extensible architecture
Custom hooks, modules, and display components allow you to tailor Directus to any content workflow or integration requirement.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
