Node.js Hosting with
Full Root Access

Any of them. On VPS, VDS and dedicated plans you get root SSH, so you install Node yourself — via nvm, NodeSource or your distro package manager — and switch versions whenever you like. On Ultra Shared Hosting, Node.js is available through the control panel’s application manager.

Use a process manager. PM2 is the usual choice: install it globally, start your app with pm2 start app.js, then run pm2 startup and pm2 save so it comes back automatically after a reboot. A systemd service works just as well if you prefer it.

Yes, and we recommend it. Run Node on an internal port, put Nginx in front on ports 80 and 443 to terminate SSL and serve static files. Your free SSL certificate installs on the Nginx layer.

All of them. A VPS with root access runs any Node framework the same way your own machine does — there is no platform-specific build step or adapter to work around.

Those platforms handle deployment for you, which is genuinely convenient, but you pay per usage and give up control over the runtime. A VPS is the opposite trade: you set up PM2 and Nginx once, then get a fixed monthly price, full root access, long-lived WebSocket connections without execution limits, and your database on the same machine. If you want zero server maintenance, use a platform. If you want control and predictable cost, use a VPS.

Yes. All VPS, VDS and dedicated plans support Docker and Docker Compose — install it over root SSH and run your containers normally.

Most single Node.js APIs, bots and small production apps run comfortably on the CX 23 (4 GB RAM). Move up to CX 33 or CX 43 when you are running several services, a database and a build pipeline on the same box. You can upgrade at any time — message us and we will move you across.
