Headless WordPress Hosting — What You Get
WordPress exposes content two ways, and the choice shapes your build. The built-in WP REST API ships with every install — /wp-json endpoints return posts, pages and media as JSON, no plugins needed, ideal for straightforward Next.js frontends that map routes to REST calls.
WPGraphQL adds a schema layer: one query fetches exactly the fields a page needs, nested menus and ACF fields included, which cuts round trips on content-heavy builds. The backend half stays ordinary WordPress on ordinary hosting — editors keep the familiar admin, plugins keep working, and nothing about headless changes the WordPress hosting requirements. Decide by build complexity: REST for simple decoupled sites, GraphQL when the frontend wants many related pieces in one request; the Node hosting guide covers the serving side.
Who is this for?
The frontend is where headless hosting costs live. A Next.js site in SSR or ISR mode needs a Node runtime: a VPS running the build under PM2 with Nginx in front handles it on the same ladder as any Node app. Static-heavy builds export to files and serve at static speed from any plan.
Content freshness closes the loop. Editors hit Update in WordPress, and webhook-triggered rebuilds fire the frontend's revalidation endpoint so pages refresh without a manual deploy. Without webhooks, ISR's timed revalidation covers most content calendars at the cost of a short staleness window. Caching sits in front of it all: full-page cache where the build allows, object cache at the WordPress layer. The result behaves like one site to visitors while remaining two cleanly separated systems.
