Node.js hosting

Node.js hosting on UK servers

Every Limitless Hosting plan includes a Node.js selector, so you can run a Node.js application on UK servers from 84p a month (£10.03 billed yearly). You choose the Node.js version for each application in the control panel, with no server administration to do. It suits small APIs, Express sites and apps that sit alongside a normal website.

How to run a Node.js app

Order a plan

Any plan includes the selector. Pick the size that fits your project.

Create the application

In the control panel, choose the Node.js selector, set the version and the folder where your app lives.

Upload and install

Upload your files, then install dependencies from the panel or a terminal.

Start and test

Start the app, open your domain and check the logs if something does not respond.

Choosing

Shared Node.js hosting or a VPS?

Shared hosting suits

Small APIs and Express apps
A web app next to a normal website
Low to moderate traffic
People who do not want to manage a server

A VPS suits

Long-running background workers
Custom ports and services
Heavy or constant processing
Teams happy to manage their own server

Before you deploy

A checklist for a smooth launch

Pin your Node.js version in package.json so it matches the selector
Keep secrets in environment variables, not in the code
Make your app listen on the port given by the environment
Commit your lock file so installs are repeatable
Add a simple health route to confirm the app is up
Log errors to a file you can read from the panel

Good practice

Running a Node.js app reliably on shared hosting

Treat the app as a guest on a shared server. Keep memory use modest, avoid long-running tasks inside web requests, and handle errors so a single bad request does not crash the process.

Use environment variables for secrets such as database passwords and API keys, and keep them out of your code repository. Log to a file you can read, and rotate the logs so they do not fill your disk.

Keep dependencies tidy. Install only what you use, update them regularly and run an audit before you deploy, because a vulnerable package is a common way in.

Build locally and upload the result when possible
Pin dependency versions with a lock file
Return clear errors and log them
Check disk usage if your app writes files

Where it fits

Typical Node.js projects on these plans

People use the Node.js selector for small APIs, server-rendered sites, webhook receivers, internal tools and prototypes. They are usually paired with a normal website in the same account, which keeps everything under one login and one invoice.

Test your Node.js app risk free

Deploy it on a plan, and ask for a refund within 15 days if it does not suit you.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Node.js available on every plan?

Yes. The Node.js selector is included with every plan. Bigger plans give you more disk space, bandwidth and addon domains.

Can I run Node.js alongside WordPress?

Yes. A WordPress site and a Node.js app can live in the same account on different domains or subdomains.

Can I choose the Node.js version?

Yes. The selector lets you choose from the versions offered in the control panel for each application.

Is this a VPS?

No. It is shared hosting with a Node.js selector. For custom services or constant heavy processing, a VPS is the better fit.
