AzraelTycka Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hello, I'd like to ask you guys about your experience and for some advice. I'm looking for some hosting which would allow me to run node.js app on the server side and allowed me to use websockets. I'm doing some screening know and I'd love to have some info from you guys to see what works for you the best? It would be nice if the hosting also supported php + mysql, I'm not necessarily looking for a free hosting, I'll be moving a company website there as well because I'm not too happy with my current provider considering what I pay for it and what i get back from them. Thank you for your advices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symof Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Well your best bet would be you own server. I don't know what needs you have or where you want the server(what country). I use mainly these 2 providers https://www.bhost.net https://www.ovh.com Ovh is the cheapest you're gonna find without it being a scam, and bhost is the best if you have high bandwidth needs but not much need of anything else. edit: You could also try out Firebase which is the new alternative to google drive hosting. I didn't have a chance to try it out tho, but seems promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalist Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 There are lots of options obviously but I really like this one - https://zeit.co/now It has the simplest setup process and fastest deployments. It's being developed by Guillermo Rauch's company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdekk Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 You might want to check out digital ocean too (www.digitalocean.com). They offer, next to an easy installation and proper uptime, great support and tutorials. For example: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-express-a-node-js-framework-and-set-up-socket-io-on-a-vps (the tutorial also applies to other hosting providers).

AzraelTycka Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Thank you a lot guys, I'll check everything the moment I get off work. @symof: Yeh renting a server is certainly an option I'm currently considering. Right now I don't have any needs for large space or high bandwith with the stuff I currently have but I'm preparing an app which should be released after winter I expect quite a high number of connections. So currently I was just thinking about some chepaer hosting for now and then if a need arises moving to a server solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivanix Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I know its a bit late, but I recommend a small vps from ramnode.com I have a couple of their openvz that cost about 15 per year. http://ramnode.com/vps.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
