Your Node.js app, on a server that never sleeps
Root access on a Linux server for your API, your Next.js site or your real-time service. The process runs all the time, with no cold starts and no duration cap on connections.
Always running
Your process does not shut down between requests: persistent connections, queues and WebSockets stay open as long as needed.
A few milliseconds from your users
From Buenos Aires, an API answers an Argentine user far faster than a server in the US or Europe, where every round trip adds more than 100 ms.
The database, close by
Your database can live on the same VPS or on a separate server: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis or whatever you use.
A price that does not depend on usage
You pay a monthly plan and that is it. There are no per-request or per-minute charges, and what you see is the final price.

Getting started
From code to your domain over HTTPS
Node.js 24 LTS from NodeSource
This is how to install it on Ubuntu 24.04 from the NodeSource repository:
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_24.x -o nodesource_setup.sh bash nodesource_setup.sh && apt install -y nodejsHand it over to PM2
PM2 relaunches the app if it crashes and starts it again after every server reboot:
npm install -g pm2 pm2 start server.js --name mi-api pm2 startup systemd && pm2 savePut Nginx in front
Nginx takes requests on ports 80 and 443 and hands them to your app’s port with a proxy_pass block pointing at 127.0.0.1:
apt install -y nginxAdd HTTPS
Certbot requests the Let’s Encrypt certificate and updates the Nginx configuration for you:
apt install -y certbot python3-certbot-nginx certbot --nginx -d api.tudominio.com.ar
FAQ
About Cloud VPS · Node.js.
Can I use a different Node.js version?
Yes, whichever your project needs: the server is yours. We suggest 24 LTS for its long support window, and nvm lets you install several side by side and pick one per application.
Which plan should I pick?
A VM2 covers most APIs and Next.js sites with steady, moderate traffic. If you run builds on the VPS, host several apps or keep the database on the same machine, the VM3 or VM4 keep you from running out of memory mid-build.
Does Docker work?
Yes. Each VPS is a full KVM virtual machine on Proxmox, with its own kernel, so Docker and Compose work without restrictions.
Can it handle WebSockets and long-lived connections?
Yes: there is no execution limit like on serverless platforms, so the process is not cut off after a few seconds and a connection can stay open for hours or days.
What does it cost to run Node.js on a VPS?
The VM2 costs US$18 a month, final price, with no separate charge per request or for execution time.
