Frequently asked questions

Can I host my REST API on Sakurahost?

Which plan is best for a mobile app backend?

For a single API backend, start with Web Apps Developer (Tsh. 35,000/mo — 1 GB RAM, 5 GB storage). For apps that need a database server, background workers, or multiple services, use VPS Starter (Tsh. 45,000/mo — 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe).
