Why It Wins
What matters most after opening day
Root access, no small print
Install the Node build, global CLIs, compilers and system packages the project wants. No corner of the machine is closed to you.
Cores and memory, reserved
KVM gives the event loop a fixed allocation of CPU and RAM, so somebody else's traffic spike never appears in your latency graphs.
DDoS filtering at no charge
Hostile traffic is scrubbed at the network edge before it touches the server, so APIs, sockets and bots stay responsive under attack.
A dedicated IPv4 of your own
Every server comes with its own IPv4 — a clean sender reputation, room for your own certificates, and webhook endpoints that never move.
Booted in under a minute
Debian, CentOS or Ubuntu comes up in under sixty seconds. Clone the repository, start the process, and traffic is flowing.
NVMe storage on every tier
All plans write to NVMe, so npm installs land quickly, builds keep moving and database reads return without a pause.
Full Control
With root, the runtime answers to you
On shared hosting the provider ends up holding your Node version and half the configuration decisions. Root on a VPS removes that ceiling. Fetch the exact release the application was built for through nvm, add the global CLIs and build tools you rely on, and supervise with PM2 or Docker as you see fit — the whole machine bends to 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 keep the event loop honest
Node stays quick right up until the CPU runs dry. KVM assigns the application genuine cores and genuine memory — not a slice other tenants tug at — and that's what keeps the event loop responsive when load arrives. NVMe underneath quickens installs and database reads, so production performs the way your benchmarks promised.
- Cores and memory held in reserve
- Every tier riding on NVMe
- A 1 Gbps network uplink
- No overselling, ever
Typical Workloads
What these machines spend their days doing
APIs and application back ends
Express, Fastify, NestJS or a GraphQL layer, with headroom to spare for whatever a real launch throws at it.
Realtime, chat and bots
A WebSocket server, a chat service, a Discord or Telegram bot — all of them hold their connections open right through the night.
Docker and microservices
Deploy one image, run a compact compose stack, or host several services side by side on one root server.
Always Reachable
A dedicated IP behind serious DDoS filtering
An API earns its keep by staying up. Network-level DDoS filtering keeps endpoints answering while an attack rolls in, and the dedicated IPv4 gives webhooks and outbound calls a stable reputation nobody else can dent. You're the only tenant on the machine, so SSH hardening, the firewall and TLS are configured exactly as you want them.
- 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 the first deploy to sustained load
Buy the tier this month needs and climb when the application proves it. Upgrading leaves your code, databases and process setup exactly as they were — only the resources beneath them grow. As traffic rises, extra CPU, RAM, storage and bandwidth are a few clicks out, with no reinstall and 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
From a blank server to a live app
- 1
Size up a tier
Pick against the traffic and the memory you are expecting. Root access and NVMe storage are standard on every plan, not only the large ones.
- 2
Put the runtime in place
Fetch the exact release through nvm or the official binaries, then put the process under PM2 or run the whole thing in Docker.
- 3
Open up, then grow as needed
Stand Nginx in front for TLS and proxying, aim the name at the IP, and step up a tier once the 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
Every layer of a working Node deployment
Every moving part of a production setup, put together on a VPS you own outright.
Your Node runtime
Pull any release through nvm or the official tarballs — the current LTS for production, or the exact build your bundle was tested on.
Supervision, your way
PM2 keeps the process standing and brings it back after a crash. Docker with a compose file does the same inside a container. With root, either takes minutes.
Databases, local or remote
Run Postgres, MongoDB or Redis on the machine and connect over localhost, or reach out to a managed instance elsewhere. Either works.
Nginx in front, HTTPS handled
Terminate TLS with a free self-reissuing certificate, proxy through to Node, and serve on port 443 as any production site should.
RAM sized for real work
Node likes memory. Budget 2 GB for a modest API, and 4 GB or more once the application carries genuine load.
A clear route upward
Rising response times and tight memory are the signal. Extra cores, RAM and disk are two clicks off.
Plain Answers
Node.js hosting without the jargon
Which Node.js release can I install?
Whichever release you want; the choice never leaves your hands. Every plan is a KVM VPS with root, so no shared platform gets to dictate your build. nvm is the common route — install it, pull down whichever release the project expects, and that is that. 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 serve equally well, as do your distribution's own packages. Several versions can coexist on one machine, with an .nvmrc file in each project pinning the right one — useful when a single server carries several applications. When a new LTS ships, you move on your schedule rather than ours. Runtime version, package manager — npm, pnpm or yarn — and upgrade cadence are all your decisions.
Can the app run under PM2 or Docker?
Either, or both together — root access means nothing special is needed. For a bare Node process, PM2 is the usual choice: it keeps the application alive, relaunches it after a crash, forks a worker per core when you want the whole CPU working, and rotates its own logs. Run pm2 start, then pm2 startup and pm2 save, and the application returns on its own after a reboot. Prefer containers? Install Docker and launch your image, or bring up a small docker-compose stack — the application in one container, Postgres and Redis beside it. Plenty of people blend the two: Docker for dependencies, PM2 for the application, or the reverse. And since the machine is yours, a plain systemd unit is just as legitimate. The VPS, the network and the DDoS filtering are ours to mind. How the process is supervised is entirely yours.
Is this managed, or do I run the machine?
You run it — these are unmanaged by design. That is precisely what puts root, your choice of Node version and your own process setup within reach at this price. Everything above the operating system is your ground: runtime, PM2 or Docker, reverse proxy, databases, deploy pipeline — arranged however the project demands. Below that line we own the hardware, the KVM layer, the London datacentre network and the DDoS defences, so the parts you cannot see never land on your desk. Support runs around the clock for infrastructure, provisioning and network matters, and will gladly resize a plan or track down a misbehaving route. If self-managing is not what you signed up for, ask about managed cover. Many teams simply keep a developer on the application side while we keep the VPS quick, reachable and protected.
Can the database and the reverse proxy sit on the VPS as well?
Certainly — that is the usual arrangement. With root you can install Postgres, MongoDB or Redis straight onto the VPS and let the Node application talk over localhost: less latency, one hop fewer. Sessions, caching and job queues usually land on Redis, with Postgres or MongoDB holding the primary data. Run one of them or all three, sized to whatever RAM the tier gives you. In front of it, Nginx as reverse proxy is the usual arrangement: 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 hearing about it. Nginx facing the world, Node behind it, the data close at hand: that is what a production deployment normally looks like. Prefer a separate managed database? Simply connect outward. Nothing here obliges the data to share the machine.
What keeps the app alive once I close the shell?
A process manager, which is exactly why nobody runs node server.js bare in production — it dies the moment the shell closes or an exception gets loose. PM2 is the standard answer: it daemonises the application, restarts on crash, and with pm2 startup plus pm2 save it revives everything after a reboot without your signing in. Cluster mode forks a worker per core so one application can use the whole tier, and the built-in logs make post-incident digging far easier. Using containers instead? A Docker restart policy covers the same ground, and a systemd unit is a perfectly respectable native answer. Around all that, reserved KVM cores and NVMe storage mean the application never fights for CPU, while network-level DDoS filtering keeps it reachable mid-attack. A process manager plus reserved resources: what you benchmarked is what production delivers.
Will you help with a deployment, or with bringing an existing app over?
Gladly. Once the order lands, open a ticket and the team gets you moving — server provisioned, SSH and your dedicated IPv4 checked and working, plus sound advice on the operating system and firewall. On the application side, a standard deploy runs: clone the Git repository onto the server, install dependencies, set the environment variables, build if the project needs it, then launch under PM2 or Docker. We are happy to walk through each step. Coming from another host? We can help move the code, the environment settings and a local database so the application behaves identically on its new VPS. Stage everything against the dedicated IP first, then move DNS, and the cutover stays tidy. Looking for more help at the application layer? Ask about managed cover; otherwise the team keeps its attention on infrastructure and 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.
