how to host angular and node js project on the shared hosting (cpanel or plesk)?

I have two different shared hosting on GoDaddy server (cPanel and Plesk odin), I want to host my NodeJS project there.

Solution

  • You CAN do this.

    Most tutorials have you downloading node + npm through the command line... and since you cannot use sudo in terminal on a shared GoDaddy server you have to install nvm to install npm and node.

    But really, you only need a single file from the Node.js package to get a server running. It is much easier to download the package, and manually add the one file to cPanel.

    Follow this tutorial for the most simple method of running a Node.js server on GoDaddy hosting.

    You can't host Node project on cpanel. You will need a node server for that. Cpanel does not come with node installed, neither it could be Installed. You can check with aws or blueocean for that.
