Web Hosting With Nodejs and MongoDB

Web Hosting with Nodejs and MongoDB

When it comes to Nodejs hosting options, you have several choices. From managed platforms (so you can focus on writing code while the infrastructure is taken care of for you) or Cloud VM/VPS solutions – each offer their own advantages for hosting Nodejs applications.

If you’re in search of managed hosting solutions, choose from one of our listed providers above and rest easy knowing your application will be in safe hands – free from worrying about server maintenance aspects!

Alternately, if you possess the time and experience, creating your own infrastructure on a virtual private server (VPS) could be cheaper than outsourcing it to third-party providers.

Start by creating a VM or VPS using the ssh tool provided with your operating system, then installing Nodejs with its necessary dependencies (Mongo, Express and Cors). When finished, connect to your database from a browser using /mongodb://localhost:27017/ and connect. If an error message such as: MongoServerSelectionError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017 appears instead, double-check that MongoDB server is running as well as correct URI is used.

After your application has gone live, a service like AppSignal provides monitoring capabilities to track its performance. It provides uptime metrics as well as response and connection latency of all application containers together with real-time structured HTTP logs, slow query analysis as well as automatic index suggestions and continuous backups with point in time database restore capabilities.
