Take full advantage of Node.js hosting at Gandi

If you just want to create a basic website to develop you or your business’s online presence, a simpler tool like WordPress will be more than enough for your needs and will be easier to set up than Node.js hosting. But if your goal is to create a complex, dynamic website, or a feature-rich web app that requires asynchronous real-time updating, then Node.js is the language for you.

Node.js websites and web apps are written in JavaScript and require a Node.js hosting solution, that is, hosting that is capable of interpreting this programming language. Because it requires a hosting environment, free Node.js hosting is not generally available.
