How your website is protected
Five layers between an attacker and your website
Every request to your site passes through the same checks, on every plan. Most attacks on small business websites are automated scans and login attempts, which these checks are built to catch.
- Protection runs on the server, so there’s no security plugin to set up
- Your account is kept apart from every other account on the server
- If something does go wrong, you can restore a backup from earlier the same day
Be clear before you order
Which Node.js apps suit shared hosting
Node.js on cPanel runs your app behind the web server. Requests to your domain are passed to your app, and the app is started when it’s needed. That works well for some projects and not for others, so check this list before you order.
Good fits
- Express or Fastify APIs and small web apps
- Server-rendered sites and form handlers
- Webhook receivers for Stripe, GitHub or a CRM
- Internal tools used by a small team
Not a good fit
- Apps that must listen on their own port. Your app is reached through your domain, not on a custom port.
- Always-on workers and bots. Apps that must run constantly in the background, such as a Discord bot or a queue worker, aren’t suited to shared hosting.
- Websocket-heavy or real-time apps with many open connections.
- Heavy build steps. Build your front end on your own computer or in CI, then upload the built files.
If your project needs any of those, a VPS is the better choice. Open a ticket and tell us what you’re building, and we’ll say honestly whether our hosting will run it.
Python apps too
cPanel has a matching Setup Python App tool for Flask and Django projects. It works the same way: choose a Python version and a folder, install from requirements.txt, and restart from cPanel.
Node.js hosting questions
Can I choose my Node.js version?
Yes. You pick the version when you create the app in cPanel, and you can change it later.
Can I use npm packages?
Yes. Put them in package.json and click Run NPM Install in cPanel, or run npm over SSH inside the app’s environment.
Can I run Next.js?
Static exports of a Next.js site work well. A full Next.js server can run, but builds are best done on your own machine before you upload.
Can I run a Node.js app and a WordPress site on the same plan?
Yes. Run WordPress on your main domain and the Node.js app on a subdomain, such as app.yourbusiness.co.uk.
Is there a database?
MySQL is included on every plan. If you need MongoDB or PostgreSQL, use an external database service and connect to it from your app.
Do you support PHP as well?
Yes. See our PHP hosting page.
