Web workloads
Web Application Hosting
Web application hosting provides the compute, operating system, storage and network environment used to run a website, API or connected backend service.
The requirement behind the solution
A web workload needs enough memory, CPU and storage for the application, database, logs and expected traffic. It also needs an operating system compatible with the chosen runtime and an operational plan for updates, monitoring and backups.
Requirements to define
- Runtime and operating-system compatibility
- Memory for the application and database
- Storage for code, data, logs and growth
- TLS, firewall and access configuration
- Independent backup and restoration plan
Important considerations
- Select resources from the live plan catalog rather than a generic workload label.
- Test real application behavior after deployment; specifications alone do not guarantee throughput.
- Keep databases and administrative interfaces protected from unnecessary public access.

Frequently asked questions
Which operating system should a web application use?+
Use an operating system supported by the application and its dependencies. Linux is common for Node.js, Python, PHP, databases and containers; verify the exact image during configuration.
How much RAM does a web application need?+
Estimate the combined memory needed by the application, database, cache, background workers and operating system, then leave capacity for traffic spikes and updates.
