What Node.js hosting means here
Node.js hosting is a server that keeps your Node process running, gives it a public address and restarts it with each new version of your code. On shared hosting or a VPS that means a control panel, a process manager such as PM2, a reverse proxy and a certificate you renew yourself.
On Voroa you connect a repository instead. Voroa reads your package.json, installs your dependencies, runs your build, starts your app with its start script and puts it behind HTTPS. Every push to your branch repeats that, and the old version keeps serving until the new one is ready.
What every Node.js service comes with
- A URL with TLS from the first deploy
- A new release on every push to your branch
- Releases that start before the old one stops
- One-click rollback to the previous release
- Node 24, 22, 20 or 18, picked from your repository
- npm, pnpm or Yarn, detected from your lock file
- Build and runtime logs you can read and search
- Environment variables and shared env groups
- WebSockets over
wss:// - One bill, in rupees, with a GST invoice
- Runs in Mumbai (IN)
The Node.js apps people host here
If it listens for HTTP and lives in a Git repository, it runs as a web service.
NestJS and TypeScript backends
TypeScript compiles in the build step, so the service runs the JavaScript your build produced. Set your own build and start commands when the defaults are not what you want.
Next.js and other server-rendered apps
Next.js, Nuxt, Remix, SvelteKit and Astro in server mode. Each push runs next build, and later builds of the same service reuse its own build cache.
Real-time apps
Chat, live dashboards and multiplayer features over WebSockets or Socket.IO, on the same service as the rest of your API.
From your repository
Deploy straight from GitHub
Connect a repository, pick a branch, and Voroa builds and runs your app. Most projects need zero configuration. When you do need control, set your own build and start commands, root directory and Node version - and change them any time.
View documentationAuto-deploy
Ship on every push
Turn on auto-deploy and every push to your branch triggers a fresh build and rolls the change out. Your live service always matches your latest commit, and every deploy is recorded with the commit that caused it.
View documentationThe Node version and package manager your repo declares
Voroa builds on the Node version your repository declares in .nvmrc, .node-version or the engines.node field of package.json. Supported major versions are 24, 22, 20 and 18. Without one, a service keeps the version it was created with, which is Node 20 for new services.
Because the version travels with your code, every deploy and every teammate gets the same one, and there is nothing to set in the dashboard. If you build from your own Dockerfile instead, the Node version comes from that image. See deploy a Node.js app for the steps.
No PM2, no Nginx, no port juggling
You do not need a process manager or a reverse proxy. Voroa starts your app with its start script and routes HTTPS traffic to it. Voroa sets PORT for you; if your app listens on a fixed port instead, Voroa detects it and routes there, but reading process.env.PORT is still the safe choice.
When a new release is ready, Voroa sends traffic to it and only then stops the old one, so a deploy does not drop requests. A health check path lets Voroa confirm your app actually answers before it switches.
Logs
Watch the build, then read the runtime
Your build streams line by line as it runs, and your running service keeps its own runtime logs - so when something misbehaves in production you read what happened instead of guessing. Every deploy keeps its status and its commit.
View documentationConfiguration
Secrets go in, and never come back out
Store the configuration your app needs as environment variables, applied to both your builds and your running service. Values are encrypted at rest and are never displayed again - not to you, not to anyone. You can replace a value; nobody can read it back.
View documentationYour database and background jobs, on the same bill
Most Node.js apps need somewhere to keep data and somewhere to do slow work. Add managed PostgreSQL for your data, a Redis-compatible key value store for sessions and cache, and a background worker for queues and jobs that should not hold up a request. Each connects through one environment variable, and everything sits in one workspace, one region and one rupee bill.
Free Node.js hosting, and what sleeping means
The free size runs a real Node.js service with no card needed. To keep it free, a free web service goes to sleep after 15 minutes without requests, and the next request wakes it; while it starts, the visitor sees a short starting page instead of an error. A side project or a demo works well like this.
Anything that must answer the first request instantly belongs on a paid size, which never sleeps. A Discord bot or a queue consumer runs as a background worker, and a worker never sleeps, even on the free size. Free services and workers share 750 running hours a month in a workspace. Every limit is listed in free instances.
What Node.js hosting costs
Each service is a fixed monthly price in rupees for the size you pick, and you can change the size later from its settings. There is no charge per request and no surprise bill for traffic inside your plan's bandwidth. GST at 18% is added at payment, with a GST invoice every time, so a registered business can claim the input tax credit.
The panel shows the free size, the two smallest paid sizes, and what a Node.js API with a PostgreSQL database costs on the Starter sizes. The full size table is below.
Domains and TLS
Your own domain, with HTTPS handled
Every service gets a live HTTPS URL the moment it deploys. Point your own domain at it and Voroa issues and renews the certificate for you - nothing to buy, nothing to remember, no expired certificate taking your site down.

How it works
From repository to a live Node.js app
- 01
Create your Voroa account with email and a password, or sign in with GitHub.
- 02
Connect GitHub and choose the repository and branch that holds your Node.js app.
- 03
Pick a size. The free size costs nothing and needs no card.
- 04
Select Deploy. Voroa installs your dependencies, runs your build and streams the log.
- 05
Open the live URL, then add your own domain when you are ready.
- 06
Turn on auto-deploy, and every push to the branch ships a new release.
Billing
One rupee bill, itemised, with GST
Your services and every database beside them land on a single monthly invoice, paid over UPI-Autopay or an Indian card. Each line names what it is for, and the tax is split out the way your accountant needs it for input tax credit.
View documentationWhich Node.js versions can I use?
Node 24, 22, 20 and 18. Declare the one you want in .nvmrc, .node-version or engines.node in package.json. Without one, a new service runs Node 20.
Can I use pnpm or Yarn instead of npm?
Yes. Voroa detects npm, pnpm or Yarn from the lock file in your repository and installs with it.
Do I need PM2 to keep my app running?
No. Voroa starts your app with its start script and keeps the service running. A free service sleeps after 15 minutes without requests and wakes on the next one; paid sizes never sleep.
How do I set the port?
Read it from process.env.PORT, which Voroa sets for you. If your app listens on one fixed port instead, Voroa detects it and routes there.
Can I deploy a TypeScript, NestJS or Next.js app?
Yes. Put the compile step in your build script and the server in your start script; a standard Next.js app already has both. See deploy a Next.js app for the details.
Does Node.js hosting on Voroa support WebSockets and Socket.IO?
Yes, over wss:// on the same service. An idle connection can be closed, so clients should reconnect, which most WebSocket libraries already do. See WebSockets on Voroa.
Can I open a shell inside my running app?
Yes. Add an SSH key to your account and open a terminal inside the running service, from your own machine or the CLI. See SSH access.
Which database can my Node.js app use?
Managed PostgreSQL, MySQL and a Redis-compatible key value store, all in Mumbai, connected with one environment variable. You can also connect to any outside database your code can reach.
Is there free Node.js hosting?
Yes. The free size runs a 512 MB service with no card needed. Free services share 750 running hours a month in a workspace and sleep after 15 idle minutes. See free instances.
How is Node.js hosting billed?
A fixed monthly price in rupees for the size you pick, plus 18% GST, with a GST invoice on every payment. Pay by UPI, an Indian card or netbanking.
Will my free Node.js app have a cold start?
Yes, after 15 minutes without requests a free web service sleeps, and the next request wakes it with a short starting page. Paid sizes never sleep, and background workers never sleep on any size.
Can I use MongoDB with my Node.js app?
Voroa does not run a managed MongoDB. Connect to a MongoDB you host elsewhere with its connection string in an environment variable, or use managed PostgreSQL, which Voroa runs next to your app.
What is the cheapest way to host a Node.js app?
Start on the free size. When you need an app that never sleeps, the smallest paid size is the cheapest step up; the panel and the table above show current prices in rupees.
Can I host a Discord bot written in Node.js?
Yes, as a background worker with a start command such as node bot.js. Workers have no port, need no URL and never sleep.
Can I use my own domain with free HTTPS?
Yes. Add the domain, create the DNS record Voroa shows you, and the certificate is issued and renewed for you. See custom domains.
Where does my Node.js app run?
In Mumbai (IN), in the same region as the databases you add next to it.
What should I check before I pick a Node.js host?
We wrote a short checklist covering the server city, deploys and rollbacks, the port, scaling and billing in Node.js hosting in India: what to check.
