Node.js and Other Application Runtimes

What this is

In addition to PHP, your website can run Node.js applications with automatic startup and monitoring.

How to set up a Node.js app

Node.js applications are provisioned from the Developer Tools section. Once configured, the system handles starting your app and restarting it if it crashes.

Good to know

• Node.js support is available depending on your hosting plan.
• Your app runs inside the same container as your website, with access to the same file system.
• For deployment, upload your code via FTP/SFTP or SSH and configure the entry point in Developer Tools.
• Git-based deployment is not currently available through the panel — use SSH for git pull or rsync-based deployment.
