WebApps Hosting Plans
WebApps Features
Node.js Out-of-the-Box
Node.js is pre-installed and ready to use on all our WebApps plans. You can deploy and run your Node.js project with a few clicks in our intuitive Control Panel.
Persistent File System
Unlike cloud-based Node.js providers who only offer read-only, ephemeral storage, with our WebApps plans, your project and data are both stored on the same server.
Supervisor Service
The WebApps platform includes a Supervisor service that will monitor your server/daemon processes, and will make sure they run all the time.
SSH and Git
Debug and deploy your applications directly on the server through SSH access to your hosting account, as well as integrated Git support.
Dedicated RAM
With these plans you get fully dedicated RAM for your account. This makes these plans more similar to managed VPS solutions.
Django, Go, and Ruby
While these frameworks/languages aren't pre-installed, our team can help you with the initial configuration and setup.
Daily Backups
All our plans include automatic free daily backups for the past 15 days, absolutely free restores (including partial/custom restores), and unlimited on-demand backup creation.
Free SSL Certificates
All our hosting plans have built-in support for the industry leading Let's Encrypt certificates. These certificates can be enabled with one click through our Control Panel interface.
Web Hosting Features
Email, Control Panel, PHP and MySQL, experienced 24/7 tech support. Enjoy all the features that you have come to expect from an excellent hosting provider, now with Node.js.

Get Node.js HostingFrequently Asked Questions About WebApps Platform
What is WebApps?
WebApps is the name of our managed application platform technology. It consists of a supervisor daemon responsible for starting, monitoring, and re-starting your processes, a command-line tool to control the daemon, and a web interface to manage all services.
What applications can I run on the WebApps platform?
The WebApps platform comes with the latest stable version of Node.js pre-installed and configured. You can use it for Node.js applications out of the box. However, it can also be used to run many other environments as well, for example Ruby on Rails, Django, etc.
What is Node.js?
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment based on Google Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. It makes it possible for applications written in JavaScript to run on the hosting server.
What is a runtime environment?
A runtime environment provides an application with access to all resources it needs in order to operate. For example, Node.js provides JavaScript applications on the server with access to the server resources (file system, RAM, CPU, etc.).
Is the WebApps platform suitable only for Node.js applications?
The WebApps platform is not limited to running only Node.js applications. You can also run Ruby on Rails applications on it, for example, as well as other applications that require a runtime environment.
Can I still run PHP applications (like WordPress or Drupal, for example) on the WebApps platform?
Yes, you can. The WebApps platform is an extension of our standard hosting infrastructure. The managed web server (Apache), multiple PHP versions, and MySQL server required for PHP applications are all available on the WebApps platform. In fact, you can run any application that is suitable for our shared hosting setup on your WebApps account as well.
What persistent storage options are available on the WebApps platform?
You can use the local file system for data storage or the managed MySQL instance on the server. You can also run MongoDB and Redis instances for data object storage using the WebApps platform.
