Why Payload on G7Cloud?

The perfect environment for modern headless content management.

True Self-Hosting

Own your data and your CMS. Unlike Contentful or Sanity, Payload runs on YOUR infrastructure with no API rate limits or vendor lock-in.

Managed Database Included

PostgreSQL runs locally in your cluster with zero latency. No remote database charges, no per-query billing, unlimited operations.

Fixed Pricing, Unlimited Content

Pay for dedicated resources, not API calls or content entries. Create unlimited collections, fields, and content — your bill stays the same.

Enterprise Security

ScaleShield WAF protects your admin panel and API. Bot protection, rate limiting, and DDoS mitigation included on every plan.

Unleash Payload's Full Potential

Everything you need to build powerful, custom content backends.

Custom Fields & Hooks

Write custom React components for fields and Node.js hooks for complex business logic.

Access Control

Granular, function-based access control for documents, fields, and API endpoints.

REST & GraphQL API

Automatically generated, fully extensible REST and GraphQL APIs for all your collections.

Admin Panel

A beautiful, customizable React admin panel built right into your application.

Media Management

Local or cloud storage for media with automatic resizing, cropping, and optimization.

Versions & Drafts

  • No API limits — query as much as you want
  • Unlimited users and editors at no extra cost
  • Full data ownership with managed PostgreSQL
  • 100% customizable React admin panel
  • Flat-rate monthly pricing for dedicated resources
