## Frequently asked questions

### How does Directus differ from WordPress or Strapi?

WordPress includes themes and plugins. Directus is a headless CMS that turns a database into APIs. Unlike Strapi, it does not impose its own database structure.

### Is it suitable for bilingual or Farsi sites?

Yes. Directus supports multilingual content through i18n, and its dashboard supports Persian and RTL layouts.

### Where are the databases stored?

Data stays on the server you choose, such as PostgreSQL on Cloud Noce, using standard SQL structures.

## Directus data and content management system

**Directus** takes a different approach to content management. It sits on top of an existing database, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL, instead of imposing its own storage structure. It immediately makes that data accessible through a [visual management panel](/products/paas) and API endpoints.

Developers keep 100% control of their SQL schema without vendor lock-in, while content teams get a modern editor with Persian language support.

### Faster development for modern frontends

Deploy Directus to avoid writing basic CRUD APIs from scratch. Connect React, Next.js, Vue or Flutter and use detailed role-based access controls.

## Passing sanctions and free access to global services

Cloud Noce PaaS uses integrated network tools to connect applications and containers to global services affected by access restrictions.

Connect your applications to development packages, external APIs and the tools your workflow requires.

## Run Directus in seconds

Automatic installation on fast storage, with custom domains and SSL.
