Node.js Hosting
Fully Managed Node.js Hosting For 
Developers
Node.js hosting on xCloud deploys your Node.js app from Git: we build it and keep it running, and if you connect GitHub, it redeploys on every push. It suits APIs, Next.js, Nuxt or Express apps. Managed servers with free SSL and backups start at $5/month, or bring your own VPS and your first server is free.
Get started- Instant deployment with Git
- Free SSL certificate
- 24/7/365 global customer support

Every plan above includes the server. Provisioning, OS and stack patching, daily backups, free SSL, the xCloud panel and 24/7 support all come with it, on one bill from xCloud — there is no separate hosting invoice to add. See how this compares with the rest of xCloud pricing.
Premium servers are powered by High-Frequency 3GHz+ Intel Xeon CPUs, lightning-fast memory, and NVMe storage, delivering unmatched speed and performance. General servers, on the other hand, offer a budget-friendly solution for standard workloads.
OR BRING YOUR OWN
Already Have a Server? Deploy Your App On It
Most teams want the server handled for them — that is everything above. If you already run a VPS at DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner, AWS or anywhere else, xCloud can deploy and manage your Node.js apps on it instead, for a flat fee per server.
What you pay, as you grow
- 1 serverFree
- 2–5 servers$5
- 6–10 servers$4Save 20%
- 11+ servers$3Save 40%
You pay your own provider for the server; xCloud's fee covers the panel. One server and ten sites are free.
Self-managed gets the same control panel as the plans above — the difference is whose server it runs on, and who is on the hook when it needs attention.

The alternative
Wiring It Up By Hand vs Wiring It Up In xCloud
A Linux box and a Node process is a perfectly good way to host a Node.js app. It is just a list of jobs, and this is that list. Everything on the right comes with the panel, on your server or ours.
| By hand on a Linux box | With xCloud |
|---|---|
| Install Node, a process manager and a reverse proxy before the first deploy. | Pick a Node version at create time. The proxy and process manager are already configured. |
| Write your own deploy script, then keep it working as the app changes. | Push to your live branch and the build and restart run for you. |
| Issue and renew certificates yourself, and notice when renewal fails. | SSL is issued and renewed automatically. |
| Remember to back up, and find out whether restore works during an incident. | Automated local and remote backups with a one-click restore. |
| Wire up a CDN and caching yourself for global response times. | Cloudflare CDN integration and caching are already in front of your app. |
| Stand up somewhere to try it before you point a real domain at it. | Deploy on a free test domain first, then attach your own. |
Choosing a host
What Makes The Best Hosting For Node.js?
Most Node.js apps need the same few things from a host. Here is what to check, and how xCloud covers each one.
| What to check | On xCloud |
|---|---|
| The Node.js version your app needs, and a way to change it later. | Node.js 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22 or 24, with 24 as the default. Change it from the server's Node Configuration page. |
| Your framework is recognised, not treated as a generic app. | Next.js, Nuxt, Remix, SvelteKit, NestJS, Express, Fastify and more are detected from your package.json. |
| A process that is kept running for you. | Your app runs under PM2, set up for you, and restarts on each deploy. |
| Static sites, server-rendered apps and APIs on the same plan. | Choose Static build, SSR (Node process) or Hybrid (static + API) when you deploy. |
| Somewhere to test before you point a real domain at it. | Every new site can start on a free staging domain, with no DNS to set up. |
| A clear price that does not grow with each app. | Managed servers from $5/month, or your own VPS with the first server free. Host as many apps as the server fits. |
Bring Your Node.js App Across to xCloud
Move an existing Node.js application onto a managed server or your own VPS. Our team handles the migration, so you get back to building rather than troubleshooting.
Hear what people are saying about us
See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.
xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!
Brian GeovannyI've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.
Kevin PinedaI'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting
Leo KooHow Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed EllinghamxCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.
Dumitru ButucelxCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar AhmedTrust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍
Rahul SinghSo far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.
Massimo VillaCame from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson ElI've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.
Tony LewisI came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowellI like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose
David McCanHow Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin HeinrichsI had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan SpinozaDear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.
Rahil MaknojiaCame from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.
Karl FanegaHow Advanced Web Strategies Saved Over $2,000 & Recovered 56 Hours per Month Managing 70+ Client Websites
Gary MoodyxCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.
Jorge de los Reyes MartínezI use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.
Jay PaganoHow Newman Web Solutions Ensured Perfect Uptime and Seamless Scaling For 120+ WordPress Sites with xCloud
Lori NewmanI too have moved over to xCloud. It's pretty sweet. One click n8n and uptime Kuma apps
John ApertureI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.
Blaine MooreFrequently Asked Questions
Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have
What is Node.js hosting?
Node.js hosting provides a server environment for applications built with Node.js, a JavaScript runtime. A key benefit is the ability to use JavaScript for both front-end and back-end development, streamlining the process and saving time.
Can I install different Node.js versions on my VPS?
Yes. You can choose Node.js 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22 or 24, and xCloud installs Node.js 24 when you pick nothing. Each server runs one Node.js version, shared by all its Node.js sites. Change it any time from Management → Node Configuration, then restart your sites so they pick it up.
Can I use Node.js to host a website?
Absolutely. Node.js is an excellent platform for medium to large-scale websites with high traffic. Its event-driven, non-blocking architecture efficiently handles numerous simultaneous connections, resulting in strong performance and scalability for web applications, APIs and real-time services.
What types of applications are ideal for Node.js?
Node.js excels at I/O-bound and real-time applications, such as live chat systems, streaming platforms, IoT applications and API servers. It is generally less suited for CPU-intensive tasks like video encoding or complex data analysis.
How does xCloud build my Node.js application?
xCloud reads your package.json when you deploy. If it has a build, prod or production script, the Build & deploy script installs your dependencies and then runs it. You can edit that script, for example to use pnpm or yarn. Apps that keep a Node.js process running also get a Start command, which is npm run start unless you change it.
How do I host a Node.js app on xCloud?
Open your server, click Add New Site and choose Deploy via Git. Pick your repository and branch, confirm that Node.js is selected, and choose how the app is served: Static build, SSR (Node process) or Hybrid (static + API). Add your environment variables, check the summary and click Deploy.
Is there free Node.js hosting on xCloud?
Yes, if you bring your own server. Connect a VPS you already have and xCloud manages your first server and up to 10 sites for free, with no time limit. You still pay your provider for the VPS. Managed servers, where we supply the server too, are paid plans from $5/month.
How much does Node.js hosting cost on xCloud?
Managed servers start at $5/month and include the server, SSL, backups and support. If you use your own VPS, the first server is free and each extra server is $5/month, getting cheaper as you add more. You can run as many Node.js apps on a server as it has room for.
Which Node.js frameworks can I deploy?
Any app that builds and starts with npm scripts. xCloud recognises Next.js, Nuxt, Remix, SvelteKit, TanStack Start, NestJS, Express, Fastify, Koa, Hapi, Angular, Vite, Vue, Svelte and Create React App, and fills in sensible settings for them. Other Node.js apps deploy as plain Node.js, and you set the start command yourself.
What is managed Node.js hosting?
With managed Node.js hosting, the host looks after the server under your app: the operating system, Node.js itself, the web server, SSL, backups and keeping the process running. You push code. On xCloud you get that on a server we run for you, or on your own VPS with the same dashboard.
