WebApps Features
Node.js Out-of-the-Box
Node.js is pre-installed and ready to use on all our WebApps plans. You can deploy and run your Node.js project with a few clicks in our intuitive Control Panel.
Persistent File System
Unlike cloud-based Node.js providers who only offer read-only, ephemeral storage, with our WebApps plans, your project and data are both stored on the same server.
Supervisor Service
The WebApps platform includes a Supervisor service that will monitor your server/daemon processes, and will make sure they run all the time.
SSH and Git
Debug and deploy your applications directly on the server through SSH access to your hosting account, as well as integrated Git support.
Dedicated RAM
Every plan reserves dedicated RAM for your project - 1 GB, upgradable to 3 GB - even though you're on a shared platform. You get VPS-level isolation for your apps, without VPS-level pricing.
Django, Go, and Ruby
While these frameworks/languages aren't pre-installed, our team can help you with the initial configuration and setup.
Daily Backups
All our plans include automatic free daily backups for the past 7 days, absolutely free restores (including partial/custom restores), and unlimited on-demand backup creation.
Free SSL Certificates
All our hosting plans have built-in support for the industry leading Let's Encrypt certificates. These certificates can be enabled with one click through our Control Panel interface.
Web Hosting Features
Email, Control Panel, PHP and MySQL, experienced 24/7 tech support. Enjoy all the features that you have come to expect from an excellent hosting provider, now with Node.js.

What is WebApps?
WebApps is the name of our managed application platform technology. It consists of a supervisor daemon responsible for starting, monitoring, and re-starting your processes, a command-line tool to control the daemon, and a web interface to manage all services.
What applications can I run on the WebApps platform?
The WebApps platform comes with the latest stable version of Node.js pre-installed and configured. You can use it for Node.js applications out of the box. However, it can also be used to run many other environments as well, for example Ruby on Rails, Django, etc.
What is Node.js?
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment based on Google Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. It makes it possible for applications written in JavaScript to run on the hosting server.
What is a runtime environment?
A runtime environment provides an application with access to all resources it needs in order to operate. For example, Node.js provides JavaScript applications on the server with access to the server resources (file system, RAM, CPU, etc.).
Is the WebApps platform suitable only for Node.js applications?
The WebApps platform is not limited to running only Node.js applications. You can also run Ruby on Rails applications on it, for example, as well as other applications that require a runtime environment.
Can I still run PHP applications (like WordPress or Drupal, for example) on the WebApps platform?
PHP on this plan is meant for admin tools and development work, such as a small dashboard or utility running alongside your Node.js app. It is not tuned or recommended for hosting a production PHP website.
What persistent storage options are available on the WebApps platform?
You can use the local file system for data storage or the managed MySQL instance on the server. You can also run MongoDB and Redis instances for data object storage using the WebApps platform.
Can my WebApp send outgoing email?
Yes. Unlike many Node.js/app hosting platforms that block outbound mail or require a separate third-party mail service, our WebApps plans include a working outgoing mail service out of the box — your application can send email without any extra setup or sign-up.
