Node.js VPS
Node.js with an entire machine standing behind it
Run applications, APIs and bots on a root-access KVM VPS. Install any Node release, keep it alive with PM2 or Docker, and rely on reserved CPU and RAM over NVMe storage — from $13.52/mo.

Why It Wins
The things that matter once launch day passes
Root access, no small print
Put in the Node build, the global CLIs, the compilers and whatever system packages your project asks for. Not one corner of the machine is closed off.
Cores and memory, reserved
KVM hands the event loop a fixed slice of CPU and RAM, which means another customer's traffic spike never turns up in your latency graphs.
DDoS filtering at no charge
We scrub hostile traffic out at the network edge, well before it reaches the server, so APIs, sockets and bots keep answering during an attack.
A dedicated IPv4 of your own
Its own IPv4 comes with every server, which buys you a clean sender reputation, room for certificates of your own, and webhook endpoints that stay put.
Booted in under a minute
Pick Debian, CentOS or Ubuntu; the server stands up in under sixty seconds. Clone the repository after that, start the process, and traffic is already flowing.
NVMe storage on every tier
Every plan writes to NVMe, which lands an npm install quickly, keeps a build moving and returns database reads without any pause.
Full Control
Hold root and the runtime does as you say
Shared hosting leaves the provider holding your Node version and half your configuration decisions. Root on a VPS lifts that ceiling away. Pull the exact release the application was built against down through nvm, add whichever global CLIs and build tools you depend on, then supervise with PM2 or with Docker, whichever you prefer. The entire machine bends around your workflow.
- Genuine root, with no caveats
- Any Node.js release, installed by you
- PM2 or Docker, whichever you prefer
- SSH straight in and deploy

Raw Speed
KVM and NVMe hold the event loop steady
Node stays quick until the CPU runs dry, and then it does not. KVM assigns the application real cores and real memory, rather than a slice other tenants keep tugging at, and that's what holds the event loop responsive once load turns up. NVMe underneath quickens installs and database reads, so production performs the way your benchmarks said it would.
- Cores and memory held in reserve
- Every tier riding on NVMe
- A 1 Gbps network uplink
- No overselling, ever
Typical Workloads
How these machines actually spend their days
APIs and application back ends
Express, Fastify, NestJS, a GraphQL layer: each of them with headroom left over for whatever a real launch brings.
Realtime, chat and bots
A WebSocket server, a chat service, a bot on Discord or Telegram: every one of them holds its connections open right through the night.
Docker and microservices
Deploy a single image, bring up a compact compose stack, or sit several services next to each other on one root server.
Always Reachable
Your own IP, behind serious DDoS filtering
An API earns its keep by staying up. DDoS filtering at network level keeps endpoints answering while an attack rolls through, and the dedicated IPv4 gives webhooks and outbound calls a steady reputation nobody else can dent. You're the machine's only tenant, which means SSH hardening, the firewall and TLS get configured precisely the way you want.
- Hostile traffic filtered upstream
- An IPv4 that belongs only to you
- A single-tenant machine — yours
- Free SSL under your own control
Scaling Up
From that first deploy through to sustained load
Buy for the month you are in, then climb once the application makes the case. An upgrade leaves your code, your databases and your process setup exactly as they stand, and only the resources beneath them grow. When traffic rises, extra CPU, RAM, storage and bandwidth are a few clicks out. No reinstall. Nothing to migrate.
- Tier upgrades in a few clicks
- 30 GB up to 250 GB of storage
- 125 GB through 1 TB of bandwidth
- The data never has to move
The Route Up
Blank server at one end, live app at the other
- 1
Size up a tier
Choose according to the traffic and the memory you expect to need. Root access and NVMe storage are standard across every plan, and not only on the large ones.
- 2
Put the runtime in place
Fetch the exact release with nvm, or take the official binaries. Then hand the process to PM2, or run the lot inside Docker.
- 3
Open up, then grow as needed
Stand Nginx out front to handle TLS and proxying, aim the name at the IP address, then step up a tier the moment your metrics ask for it.
Included
Standard with every Node.js VPS
- A root login on a VPS of your own
- CPU and memory reserved under KVM
- NVMe storage from the base tier up
- An IPv4 address of your own
- Whichever Node.js release you choose
- Full support for PM2 and Docker
- Room to run Nginx as a proxy
- Git, SSH and the standard build tools
- Network-level DDoS filtering
- Support awake at every hour
Production Stack
Each layer that makes a Node deployment work
Every moving part of a production setup, put together on a VPS you own outright.
Your Node runtime
Any release will come down through nvm or the official tarballs, whether that is the current LTS for production or the precise build your bundle was tested against.
Supervision, your way
PM2 keeps the process upright and revives it after a crash. Docker, driven by a compose file, achieves the same thing inside a container. Root access means either one is a matter of minutes.
Databases, local or remote
Put Postgres, MongoDB or Redis on the machine itself and talk to it over localhost. Or reach out to a managed instance elsewhere. Both are fine.
Nginx in front, HTTPS handled
Terminate TLS on a free self-reissuing certificate, proxy the request through to Node, and answer on port 443 the way production ought to.
RAM sized for real work
Memory is what Node enjoys. Set aside 2 GB for a modest API, then 4 GB or above once the application carries genuine load.
A clear route upward
Watch for response times creeping up and memory getting tight. Extra cores, RAM and disk sit two clicks away.
Plain Answers
Node.js hosting without the jargon
Which Node.js release can I install?
Whichever one you want. That choice never leaves your hands, because every plan is a KVM VPS with root and no shared platform is in a position to dictate your build. nvm is the common route: install it, pull down whatever release the project expects, and you are done. That might be the current LTS line for production, or the precise version your build was validated against. Not keen on nvm? The official Node binaries do the job equally well, and so do your distribution's own packages. Several versions will happily coexist on one machine, with an .nvmrc file in each project pinning the right one, which helps when a single server carries several applications. A new LTS ships and you move on your schedule, not ours. Runtime version, package manager, npm or pnpm or yarn, upgrade cadence: all yours to decide.
Can the app run under PM2 or Docker?
Either one, or both at once. Root access means nothing special is required. For a bare Node process, PM2 is the usual pick: it keeps the application alive, relaunches after a crash, forks a worker per core when you want the whole CPU busy, and rotates its own logs. Run pm2 start, follow with pm2 startup and pm2 save, and the application comes back by itself after a reboot. Containers more your thing? Install Docker and launch the image, or bring up a small docker-compose stack with the application in one container and Postgres and Redis beside it. Plenty of people blend both, Docker for the dependencies and PM2 for the application, or the other way round. The machine is yours, so a plain systemd unit is every bit as legitimate. We mind the VPS, the network and the DDoS filtering. How the process gets supervised is your business.
Is this managed, or do I run the machine?
You do. Unmanaged is the design, and that design is the reason root, a Node version of your choosing and a process setup you control are available at this price. Draw the line at the operating system. Above it, everything belongs to you: which runtime, whether PM2 or Docker supervises, what the reverse proxy looks like, where the databases live, how the deploy pipeline is wired. Below it we own the physical machines, the KVM layer, our network in the London datacentre and the DDoS defences, so the invisible parts never end up on your desk. Our support desk covers provisioning, infrastructure and networking at any hour, and will happily resize a plan or hunt down a route that is misbehaving. Would you rather not self-manage? Ask us about managed cover. A lot of teams simply keep a developer for the application while we hold the VPS quick, reachable and protected.
Can I put the database and the reverse proxy on the same VPS?
Certainly, and most people do exactly that. Root lets you install Postgres, MongoDB or Redis straight onto the VPS, after which the Node application talks over localhost: less latency, one hop fewer. Sessions, caching and job queues tend to land on Redis, while Postgres or MongoDB holds the primary data. Run one of the three, or all of them, sized to whatever RAM your tier provides. Out front, Nginx is the customary reverse proxy. It terminates TLS on a free self-reissuing certificate, listens on 443, spreads load across your PM2 workers or containers, and serves static files without Node ever hearing about them. Nginx facing the world, Node behind it, the data close at hand. That is roughly what a production deployment looks like. Would you rather use a separate managed database? Connect outward. Nothing obliges the data to share the machine.
Once I close the shell, what keeps the app running?
Something has to supervise it. Run node server.js bare and the moment your shell closes, or an exception escapes, the thing is gone, which is why production never works that way. Most people reach for PM2. It daemonises what you started, brings it back after a crash, and once pm2 startup and pm2 save are in place a reboot restores everything with nobody signing in. Fork a worker per core in cluster mode and one application can occupy the whole tier, while the logs PM2 keeps make digging through an incident far less painful. Containers are equally valid: set a Docker restart policy, or write a systemd unit, which is as native an answer as exists. Underneath, KVM cores held in reserve and NVMe storage stop the application competing for CPU, and DDoS filtering at network level keeps it reachable while an attack runs. Supervision plus reserved resources is why the benchmark and the production figure agree.
Can you help me deploy, or bring across an application I already run?
Gladly. The order lands, you open a ticket, and the team gets you moving: the server provisioned, SSH proven, your dedicated IPv4 answering, plus solid advice on the operating system and the firewall. The application side follows a standard deploy. Clone the Git repository onto the server, pull the dependencies in, write the environment variables, build where the project needs building, then launch under PM2 or Docker. We will walk you through each step. Arriving from another host? We can help shift the code, the environment settings and a local database so the application behaves the same on its new VPS. Stage all of it against the dedicated IP, move DNS afterwards, and the cutover stays tidy. Wanting more help at the application layer? Ask about managed cover. Otherwise the team's remit stays with the infrastructure and the network.

View Node.js PlansNode deserves better than a laptop and crossed fingers. Give it a process that stays up, a properly proxied port and a console you can deploy from. Hosting & Domains owns the hardware underneath: NVMe drives, LiteSpeed in front, and a network desk that never shuts.
It is tuned for JavaScript developers pushing APIs and applications live, so what other hosts bill separately is standard here: certificates, site moves, nightly snapshots and answers from the people running the servers.
Node in production without a whole server
Start a Node application from the panel, choose the version, name the entry point, and the process manager keeps it running and restarts it after a crash. npm and Git are at the SSH prompt, environment variables live in the panel, and the application serves behind LiteSpeed with its certificate already in place.
The hardware carries the weight: 100% NVMe storage, LiteSpeed over HTTP/2, and a 99.9% uptime SLA our monitoring desk stands behind. Quick pages please visitors and search engines equally.
Node hosting, priced sensibly
No second price waits in year two. The listed rate is the invoiced rate, this term and every term after, and any opening offer shows its renewal figure beside it. Servers are built to order for you alone, so they sit outside the money-back window; talk to us before committing and we will size the machine honestly.
Putting an API online does not require a platform seat at $50 a month. Node runs on the business shared plans, and when the application wants root or more memory, a KVM VPS from $13.52 takes over.
Node's home on the platform
Node processes run on NVMe-backed accounts in our London datacentre, restarted automatically on exit and watched by monitoring that reaches an engineer before it reaches you.
We do not wait for a customer to report an outage. Fleet monitoring runs minute by minute and wakes an engineer first, so what usually reaches you is the fix rather than the fault.
- Per-application choice of Node versions
- Auto-restarting process manager
- a 99.9% uptime SLA backed by service credits
- Daily backups you restore yourself, in one click

Still Curious
Questions that keep coming up
Do bots and background workers run here as well?
They do. The process manager keeps long-running scripts alive beside the web application, and cron handles anything on a schedule. When a workload wants serious memory or a dedicated queue service, that is the point where a VPS at $13.52 a month becomes the better buy.
Do I wait around after ordering?
The panel login reaches you within minutes. If the app currently lives elsewhere, we copy it across first, test it, and only then repoint the DNS.
Do certificates cost anything?
Free, installed, and renewing by itself. You would only buy a certificate for a wildcard or for a validated seal that procurement insists on.
What if Node.js hosting proves to be the wrong size?
Machines like these are put together to your specification, so they carry no money-back window, which is why we would rather get the sizing right at the outset than sell you more than you need. Tell the team the workload before ordering and they will recommend a tier honestly. Outgrowing it later is a resize rather than a repurchase.
