Node.js Hosting India

Quick answer

Node.js hosting in India is a server that keeps a Node process listening after you log out, restarted by PM2 or another supervisor. WebJi® quotes this server in INR before payment, plus 18% GST; no monthly Node plan is published. The ₹297 cPanel plan and the ₹299 Launch plan are not Node runtimes.

For developers running Express APIs, Socket.io apps, bots and server-rendered JavaScript who need a process that stays up.

What does Node.js hosting need that ordinary web hosting lacks?

Node.js hosting needs a process that keeps running between requests, a port it can listen on, and a supervisor that restarts it after a crash or reboot. PHP hosting works differently: each request starts a script that exits when the page is sent. A Node app is a long-lived server, so it needs a VPS-style machine rather than a shared cPanel account.

How a Node.js server differs from a PHP shared hosting account
RequirementNode.js serverLinux shared hosting
Process modelOne app process stays up and holds connectionsScript runs per request, then exits
Websockets / Socket.ioSupported, because the connection stays openDropped when the request ends
npm native modulesCompiled on the server with build toolsNot a Node runtime
Node versionThe version your app declares, named in the quoteNot applicable
Restart after rebootPM2 or another supervisor you nameNot applicable

Which apps should run on Node.js hosting?

Node.js hosting fits JavaScript back ends: REST and GraphQL APIs, real-time chat and dashboards, bots, and server-rendered front ends. If your site is WordPress or plain PHP, you do not need it; Linux shared cPanel is cheaper and simpler.

  • Express, Fastify or NestJS APIs behind a mobile app or a React front end.
  • Real-time apps using Socket.io for live order tracking, chat or admin dashboards.
  • Bots and workers for Telegram or WhatsApp that must stay connected all day; see WhatsApp bot hosting.
  • Server-rendered React; Next.js has its own page at Next.js hosting in India, and static React builds at React.js hosting.

Python frameworks such as Django and FastAPI belong on Python hosting in India, which is quoted the same way.

How much does Node.js hosting cost in India?

WebJi® quotes a Node.js application server per requirement, in INR with 18% GST added on the invoice; no fixed monthly Node.js plan is published. Send the Node version, start command and expected traffic to support@webji.services and the price arrives before you pay. The only fixed price below is the shared plan, shown so you can see what Node is not.

The quote states RAM, vCPU, disk and the Node version. Size RAM to your app’s real memory use plus headroom for npm builds, which often need more memory than the running app.

How is a Node.js app deployed and kept running?

Install the declared Node version, install dependencies, start the app under PM2, enable PM2 at boot, then put Nginx with TLS in front of the app’s port. PM2 is a free open-source process manager, not a WebJi® product; the quote includes PM2 or another supervisor you name.

  1. Install the Node version in your package.json engines field or .nvmrc, preferably an LTS release.
  2. Run npm ci from the lock file and keep secrets in an environment file that is not committed to Git.
  3. Start under PM2, register the startup script and save the process list.
  4. Proxy the domain to the app port and issue a certificate, as in the Certbot and Nginx SSL guide.
npm ci --omit=dev
pm2 start server.js --name api
pm2 startup        # run the sudo command it prints
pm2 save

For websockets, the Nginx location block must pass the upgrade headers, or Socket.io falls back to slower polling:

location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
}

Node.js hosting, a self-managed VPS or Docker — which should you choose?

Choose quoted Node.js hosting if you want the server specified around your app; choose a plain VPS if your team already manages Linux; choose Docker when the app ships as containers. All three run on the same KVM platform.

  • Quoted Node server: the quote names the Node version, RAM and disk, and includes PM2 or another supervisor you name.
  • Self-managed Ubuntu VPS: full root and nothing pre-installed; you follow the steps above yourself.
  • Docker: one container per service with Compose; the Docker hosting guide covers the set-up.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is there free Node.js hosting at WebJi®?

No. WebJi® does not offer free Node.js hosting, and no free trial is listed for the Node.js server. The server is quoted in INR before payment, with 18% GST on the invoice; email support@webji.services with your stack to get the figure.

Can I run Node.js and MongoDB on the same server?

Yes, on a quoted Node server or VPS where you have root. Budget RAM for both, because a database keeps its working set in memory. Bind the database to localhost so only the app can reach it, and back up its data directory separately.

Why does my Node app stop when I close SSH?

A process started directly from your shell ends with the session. Start it under PM2 (or systemd), run pm2 startup and pm2 save, and it keeps running after logout and returns after a reboot.

Can I deploy from GitHub automatically?

Yes. With SSH access you can pull on the server and run pm2 reload, or let a GitHub Actions workflow do it over an SSH key. A reload restarts workers one at a time, so a cluster-mode app keeps serving during the update.

Does WebJi® provide GST invoices for Node.js servers?

Yes. The quote and invoice are in INR, with 18% GST shown on top of the pre-tax amount, issued by Webji Hosting Pvt. Ltd., Jaipur. Add your GSTIN to the billing profile before payment if you want input credit.
