JavaScript<\/strong> server-side development continues to gain ground as developers seek faster, more scalable solutions. We’re launching Node.js web application hosting<\/strong> to meet this demand with a platform that removes infrastructure complexity while keeping costs predictable.<\/p>

Expert's comment<\/h4>\n

Node.js, the runtime environment for JavaScript, gives developers a powerful way to bring ideas online. Its event-driven, non-blocking architecture is built for speed and scale, making it ideal for real-time applications and microservices like chat platforms, dynamic dashboards, and APIs that handle many connections at once.<\/p>\n

Node.js application hosting<\/a> is now available on our Business web hosting<\/strong> and all cloud hosting<\/strong> plans. The service handles servers<\/strong>, scaling<\/strong>, security<\/strong>, and performance<\/strong> automatically, letting developers deploy those real-time applications and microservices without configuration overhead. Pricing remains predictably low, with no surprise charges when traffic increases or resource requirements grow.<\/p>

Why now: A shifting market<\/h2>

PHP<\/strong> is the backbone of the web, powering roughly three-quarters of all server-side applications. We have a strong foundation here, offering LiteSpeed<\/strong> servers<\/strong>, automatic configuration tools<\/strong>, and 1-click installs<\/strong> for WordPress<\/strong> and other PHP-based platforms<\/strong>.<\/p>

JavaScript<\/strong> is still smaller in comparison, but it’s growing faster than any other server-side language<\/a>. Over the past year, its usage increased from 3.7%<\/strong> to 5.2%<\/strong>, while PHP<\/strong> declined from 75.7%<\/strong> to 73.1%<\/strong>. We also see a much higher adoption among newly created projects, where modern stacks often start with JavaScript by default.<\/p>

“A major driver for this growth is Node.js<\/strong>, which lets developers use the same language for both the frontend and backend,” said Lazaravičius. “This cuts development time, reduces costs, and keeps projects simpler. It also makes scaling easier because Node.js handles many simultaneous connections<\/strong> without blocking or waiting for slow tasks to finish.”<\/p>

Some of the world’s most popular platforms, including Netflix<\/strong>, Spotify<\/strong>, and X <\/strong>(formerly Twitter<\/strong>), use JavaScript<\/strong> and Node.js<\/strong> in parts of their systems. Many others use JavaScript<\/strong> on the frontend and PHP<\/strong> on the backend to get the best of both technologies.<\/p>

What makes our offer special<\/h2>

Our new service is built for developers creating frontend and backend web apps with Next.js<\/strong> and Express.js<\/strong>, as well as React<\/strong>, React Router<\/strong>, Vue.js<\/strong>, Angular<\/strong>, Vite<\/strong>, Parcel<\/strong>, and Preact<\/strong>.  And this is just the start – support for additional frameworks is on the way.<\/p>

You can upload application files manually or connect a GitHub repository<\/a> and go live in minutes. When using GitHub<\/strong>, every commit automatically redeploys to production.<\/p>

Here are the main benefits:<\/p>
