Rhino Hosting now includes Node.js hosting for applications on all our hosting plans at no additional cost, giving developers, agencies and businesses more flexibility to bring their web applications online.
If you are building a new application or looking for hosting for an existing Node.js project, you can now speak to us about your requirements. This addition expands our hosting offering to include applications that use JavaScript on the server.
What is Node.js?
Node.js is an open-source JavaScript runtime that allows developers to run JavaScript outside a web browser. It can be used to build web servers and network applications, including the server-side services behind websites and business tools. Learn more in the official Node.js overview.
For a business, this could mean the application behind a customer portal, an internal dashboard or an API that connects different systems. For developers, it means working with JavaScript for server-side functionality as well as browser-based features.
Included in Every Hosting Plan at No Additional Cost
Every application has its own hosting requirements. A website that displays static pages has different needs from an application that processes requests, connects to a database or manages customer accounts.
Node.js hosting is included whichever Rhino Hosting plan you choose. There is no additional charge for Node.js support, and you do not need to upgrade simply to access this feature. Your application still needs to fit the resources available on your chosen plan.
Whether you are preparing your first launch or considering a move from another provider, the starting point is understanding what your application needs to run correctly.
Who Is Node.js Hosting For?
This new service is relevant to:
- Developers looking for hosting for a Node.js web application or API.
- Agencies arranging hosting for a client’s custom application.
- Businesses planning a customer portal, dashboard or internal web tool built with Node.js.
- Existing application owners reviewing their hosting options before a move.
These are examples of Node.js projects. The appropriate hosting arrangement depends on your application’s specific requirements.
What to Include in Your Hosting Enquiry
To help us discuss your project, include a short description of what the application does and any technical requirements provided by your developer.
Useful details include:
- The Node.js version and framework your application uses.
- Any database or external services it connects to.
- Its build and start commands, if available.
- Expected traffic and any known memory or storage requirements.
- Whether this is a new deployment or an existing application you want to move.
If you are unsure about these details, start with a description of your project. Your developer can provide the technical information needed to assess compatibility.
