Node.js VPS — from €5.49/mo
Deploy your Node.js app in minutes — a server for Express, PM2 and WebSockets, with a 5-hour test period before payment, completely risk-free
Launch Node.js now
A Node.js VPS is a virtual server with full root access for deploying Node.js applications. You install Linux yourself, pick the Node version you need via nvm, add the PM2 process manager and Nginx as a reverse proxy, connect MongoDB or PostgreSQL and serve real-time WebSockets. NVMe storage speeds up npm installs, and dedicated vCPU keep the event loop responsive under load. Plans start at €5.49/mo, and a 5-hour test period lets you check response times on your own application before paying.
Plans
VPS for Node.js
A bot or a small Express API fits on Standard 1 (4 vCPU, 4 GB); pairing it with MongoDB calls for Standard 2 (4 vCPU, 6 GB). For a PM2 cluster and WebSockets start from Standard 3 (6 vCPU, 8 GB). 5-hour test period before payment.

Your own Node environment
Install the Node.js version you need via nvm and packages with npm or yarn — the environment is built entirely around your app.
PM2 and WebSockets
Run processes in a PM2 cluster, hold persistent WebSocket connections and keep queues on the same server.
Full control
Root access, Nginx as a reverse proxy, SSL certificates, MongoDB alongside the app and backups — the server is entirely yours.
How to run Node.js on a VPS
Choose a plan and an image
Pick a plan — Standard 1 (4 vCPU, 4 GB) or Standard 2 (4 vCPU, 6 GB) — and select a Linux image: Ubuntu, Debian or another distribution for your stack.
Install the OS yourself
Through the panel you deploy the chosen OS on a KVM server yourself — so the configuration stays fully under your control.
Deploy your application
Over SSH or the KVM console install Node via nvm, start the app under PM2 and configure Nginx with your database.
A server sized for your Node.js app
We will help you match a plan to the load: how many vCPU a PM2 cluster needs, how much RAM, and how much NVMe space to reserve for the database and logs.
We can also help configure Nginx for WebSockets and HTTPS via Let's Encrypt. For SSR frameworks see VPS for Next.js; to move the database out, see VPS for databases.

Any — you install the Node.js version you need via nvm yourself, matched to your application and its package.json.
Yes. With root access you deploy MongoDB or PostgreSQL and run processes under PM2 — all on a single VPS.
An API or SSR app runs on 6 vCPU and 8 GB — Standard 3 at €8.99/mo. Node is single-threaded, so extra cores go to a process cluster and builds.
Yes. On a VPS with root access WebSocket connections work natively; for thousands of concurrent connections start from Standard 3 (6 vCPU, 8 GB).
PM2 or systemd restarts the process after a crash and starts it on boot. PM2 can additionally run one process per core.
Yes, via nvm: different projects run on their own versions on one server. Root access lets you install any builds, including LTS and current.
By default no: installation takes a couple of minutes from the panel. If you need a turnkey setup, that is a separate administration service from €79/mo.
You take backups yourself in the control panel in a couple of clicks — automatic backups are not included in the plans. The database and upload folders are handy to export additionally via cron.
