Vue.js VPS HostingVue Front End, API and Database Together
Vue apps build to static files that NGINX serves very efficiently, which leaves the server free for your API. We set up NGINX with HTTPS and history-mode routing, plus the Node.js, PHP or Python runtime your back end needs.
Full root & SSH NVMe storage Daily backups Anti-DDoS 99.9% uptime SLA 11 locations
-
NVMe storage
Static assets served straight from fast disk.
-
Dedicated IPv4 and IPv6
Your own addresses, anti-DDoS included.
-
Root and SSH access
Build tools, runtimes and NGINX config.
-
Daily backups
Automatic backup of the previous 24 hours.
Why Host Vue on a VPS
Vue is often paired with Laravel, Node or Django back ends. Front end and back end on one server keeps routing, cookies and deploys simple.
-
One domain for app and API
Serve Vue at / and proxy /api, so cookie-based auth such as Laravel Sanctum works without CORS headaches.
-
A natural fit with Laravel
The common Vue and Laravel setup runs on one NGINX, PHP-FPM and MySQL server.
-
History mode without 404s
NGINX falls back to index.html for Vue Router routes, so deep links and refreshes work.
-
A flat monthly price
No usage tiers, with unlimited traffic in Europe and North America.
How a Vue App Is Served
The Vue build is static; NGINX serves it and routes API calls to your back end.
Request from a browser or app (HTTPS)
-
Front end
Vue build (Vite)
index.html plus hashed assets from npm run build.
-
Web server
NGINX
Serves the build, falls back to index.html and proxies /api.
-
API
Laravel, Node.js or Python
On PHP-FPM, PM2 or Gunicorn behind NGINX.
-
Data
MySQL, PostgreSQL or MongoDB
On localhost, with Redis if you need it.
Worth knowing
- Vue Router history mode needs try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html.
- Variables prefixed VITE_ are bundled into the public build.
- For server rendering or static generation with SEO in mind, Nuxt is the Vue framework to use.
- Inertia.js lets Laravel serve Vue pages without a separate API.
What You Can Run
-
SPAs and dashboards
Customer portals and internal tools on Vue Router and Pinia.
-
Vue with Laravel
Inertia or API-based apps on one PHP server.
-
Admin panels
Vuetify, PrimeVue or Quasar front ends.
-
Front ends for a headless CMS
Vue on top of Strapi, Directus or the WordPress REST API.
-
Several apps
Customer and admin front ends on separate subdomains.
-
Staging builds
A copy per branch or per client.

Which Plan for Your Vue Project
NGINX serves Vue builds with almost no CPU. The back end and database decide the plan.
| Workload | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Vue front end only | VPS-1 2 vCores · 4 GB RAM | NGINX for several apps. |
| Vue plus a Laravel or Node API | VPS-2 4 vCores · 8 GB RAM | PHP-FPM or Node, a database and Redis. |
| Busy app with queues | VPS-3 6 vCores · 12 GB RAM | More vCores for the API and workers. |
| Several apps and environments | VPS-4 8 vCores · 24 GB RAM | Staging and production side by side. |
A starting point, not a limit: every plan upgrades in place, keeping your data, IP address and configuration.
Static Hosting Service or a VPS for Vue?
A static host serves the front end only. A VPS runs it beside the back end it depends on.
| Feature | Static hosting service | Vue VPS |
|---|---|---|
| Front end | CDN-hosted build | NGINX on your server |
| Back end (Laravel, Node, Python) | Hosted elsewhere | Same server |
| Cookie-based auth with the API | Cross-domain setup | Same domain, simple |
| Pricing | Free tiers, then usage-based | Flat monthly plan |
| Global CDN | Built in | Add one if you need it |
| Server administration | Handled by the provider | Yours, after our free setup |
| See Plans |
Deploying a Vue Build
Build locally or in CI, upload the dist folder, and NGINX serves it.
-
Build
On your machine or in CI.
-
Upload
rsync replaces the old build in one step.
-
Check the history-mode fallback
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html in the server block.
-
Reload NGINX
Only needed when the config changes.
# 1. Build
npm ci && npm run build
# 2. Upload
rsync -az --delete dist/ deploy@your-vps:/var/www/app/
# 3. Check the history-mode fallback
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/app.example.com
# 4. Reload NGINX
sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl reload nginx
Example commands; adjust names, paths and versions to your project. Deploying and maintaining your application is yours to do (or ask us for a quote).
Installed and Secured Before You Log In
The VPS is unmanaged: after handover the server is yours to run. Before that, our engineers do the first setup once, free, so you start from a hardened server with Vue.js in place.
-
Choose a plan and location
Pick the resources you need and the datacentre closest to your users.
-
Tell us your Vue.js setup
Versions, database and domain: at order or right after.
-
We install and secure it
Server hardened, Vue.js installed and tested, HTTPS on your domain.
-
You take over with root
SSH access to a working server, ready for your code and data.
Your Vue setup
- NGINX with HTTPS for your domain
- History-mode routing and asset caching in the server block
- Node.js LTS for builds
- PHP-FPM, Node.js or Python for your API, as chosen at order
- MySQL, PostgreSQL or MongoDB if you need one
Yours to run after handover

- Migrating existing sites or data
Not included in the free setup, but we can quote for it. No control panel by default: CloudPanel, HestiaCP or Virtualmin on request at no cost; cPanel and Plesk need their own licence.

The classic pairing, on one server you control.
-
Small product teams
App, API and admin deployed together.
-
Agencies

Security and Performance for Vue Apps
Security
- Anything prefixed VITE_ is public: keep secrets in the API.
- Use CSRF protection with cookie-based auth (Sanctum handles this for Laravel).
- Set a Content-Security-Policy and HSTS in NGINX.
- Keep dependencies updated with npm audit.
Performance
- Cache hashed assets for a year and never cache index.html.
- Lazy-load routes with dynamic imports.
- gzip responses in NGINX.
- Cache API responses in Redis where the data allows.
