Hosteasy does not support Node.js applications due to the limitations and constraints of its primarily shared web hosting environment. Generally, shared web hosting environments are primarily designed for PHP applications and may not provide the necessary environment for running Node.js applications. Here are the key factors and limitations:
Factors to Consider
Server Access: Node.js typically requires access to a command-line interface (CLI) for installing dependencies and running the server. Shared hosting environments often have restricted access to the CLI, which can be a limitation.
Resource Limitations: Shared hosting plans usually have limited resources (CPU, memory, etc.) because they are shared among multiple users. Node.js applications can be resource-intensive, so this might be a limiting factor.
Port Availability: Node.js applications listen on specific ports, but in shared hosting environments, port availability is often restricted. You ll need to check if your provider allows you to configure ports for your Node.js application.
