Hi everyone,
I’m currently building a website using Express.js, EJS, and EJS-mate for templating, and I’m ready to deploy it. I’m looking for some suggestions on good and affordable platforms for hosting this application. Additionally, any recommendations on where to buy a domain at a reasonable price would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Porkbun is a great choice for domains! When it comes to hosting that type of app, I haven’t personally worked with that specific stack, so I’ll defer to others for more detailed advice. It really depends on how hands-on you want to be. If you’re interested in learning about server management, a DigitalOcean droplet could be a solid option.
You’ll need a VPS server to handle and support this application. For hosting, I recommend Hostgator if you prefer a Windows server and HostPapa for a Linux server. Both are excellent choices for deploying a Node.js application. As for domain names, NameSilo is a great option, especially since they offer free WHOIS privacy.
