Node.js Hosting
Node.js Hosting That Keeps Your Applications Running
Most Indian hosting companies do not support Node.js at all, or they charge VPS prices for simple applications. At HostCloud, we run Node.js on shared hosting with PM2 process management — starting at ₹199/month.
- Node.js 20 latest version
- Switch to 16/18
- PM2 process manager
- Auto-restart
- Forever uptime
- From ₹199/mo
Node.js Runtime
PM2 · cluster mode
Most hosts say Node.js needs a VPS. It does not.
Run Node.js on shared hosting with proper process management, proxied through LiteSpeed, at fair shared hosting prices. Six things make it possible.
Multiple Node.js versions
Node.js 16, 18 and 20 available. Switch versions via cPanel your legacy app runs on Node 16, your new app runs on Node 20.
PM2 process management
Your application runs as a daemon process. If it crashes, PM2 restarts it automatically your app stays online.
Proxy through LiteSpeed
LiteSpeed Enterprise proxies requests to your Node.js app on a specific port. Clean URLs, HTTPS and headers handled automatically.
NPM and Yarn support
Install dependencies via SSH. npm install works out of the box modern Node.js development workflows fully supported.
WebSocket support
Real-time applications using Socket.io, WebSockets or Server-Sent Events work correctly, out of the box.
Fair shared-hosting pricing
No VPS prices for simple applications. Node.js at fair shared hosting rates starting at ₹199/month.
VPS for a simple Node.js API? Most of the time, you do not need it
You may think you need VPS hosting for Node.js. Here is what VPS hosting actually requires from you before your app even runs.
Server management
You are responsible for OS updates, security patches, firewall configuration and server maintenance.
Process management
You must configure PM2, forever, or systemd yourself. If your app crashes and does not restart, that is on you.
SSL certificates
You must install and renew SSL certificates manually miss a renewal and your site shows security warnings.
Higher cost
VPS hosting starts at ₹1,199/month and goes up from there. For a simple API or SPA backend, that is overkill.
- PM2 process management included zero configuration
- Free SSL certificates, installed and auto-renewed
- No OS updates, patches or firewall config ever
- Node.js hosting starting at ₹199/month, not ₹1,199+
Three plans. Node.js ready. No server management.
Every plan ships with PM2 process management, NVMe SSD storage and a free SSL certificate. Upgrade instantly as your traffic and application count grow.

We do not promise Node.js reliability we cannot deliver
Here is what our infrastructure actually does when your application needs it most. Four real scenarios.
Crash-proof Express APIs
Starter · 1 App
Your Express app hits an unhandled exception and the process exits. PM2 detects the crash and restarts it automatically no manual restarts, no 502 errors lingering.
Back online in <5s
SSH-driven deployments
Medium · SSH Access
Forgot to run npm install after deploying? SSH access lets you install dependencies directly on the server no FTP, no uploading node_modules by hand.
Deploy like localhost
Real-time Socket.io apps
Medium · 3 Apps
LiteSpeed Enterprise proxies WebSocket connections correctly, so a Socket.io chat app or live dashboard keeps its connections open and stable.
WebSockets that work
Multiple apps, one plan
Advance · Unlimited Apps
Run unlimited Node.js applications with PM2 cluster mode and dedicated resources each on its own port, each independently managed.

What Performance Actually Looks Like
We don't make performance claims we can't back up. Here is what our infrastructure delivers in real-world testing — measured, tracked, and verifiable.
Pages That Load Before Visitors Lose Patience
Our average shared-hosting page load is 1.8–2.2 seconds measured with real, content-heavy websites, not empty test pages designed to look good in benchmarks.
The shared-hosting industry averages 4–6 seconds. Google has made page speed a ranking factor, mobile users abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds, and every additional second of latency costs roughly 7% in conversions. Speed is not a vanity metric it is revenue.
1.8–2.2s average load 2–3× faster than typical shared hosting.

How we measure: figures above come from real-world testing on content-heavy WordPress and e-commerce sites running on HostCloud's NVMe + LiteSpeed infrastructure, compared against typical shared hosting — not synthetic lab pages. Load times vary with site build, plan and traffic, so your results may differ.
Real Results. Real People.

Got Questions? We Have Answers.
Do I need Node.js Hosting or VPS Hosting?
If your Node.js application fits within shared hosting resource limits (under 2 GB RAM, under 100,000 requests/day), Node.js Hosting is sufficient and more affordable. If you need more resources or system-level access, VPS Hosting is the right choice.
Can I run multiple Node.js applications?
Yes. On the Medium plan, you can run up to 3 Node.js applications. On the Advance plan, unlimited applications. Each application runs on its own port with PM2 managing processes.
What Node.js versions are available?
Node.js 16, 18 and 20. Switch versions via cPanel. Each application can use a different Node.js version.
Do you support npm, yarn and pnpm?
Yes. All package managers are available via SSH. npm is pre-installed. yarn and pnpm can be installed upon request.
