Can I run Node.js applications on Shared Web Hosting?

For "always-on" Node.js processes, you must deploy on a Cloud VPS plan (such as the Starter Cloud VPS 80). We do not support always-on Node.js background processes on Shared Web Hosting.

While modern web hosting plans can technically run Node.js apps via CloudLinux, our shared environments are strictly optimized for request-based PHP execution. An always-on daemon running continuously on a shared node will eventually hit background process limits and will be automatically throttled or terminated by the server to protect other users.
