When it comes to hosting Node.js apps, a virtual private server (VPS) and dedicated servers are better options because you will have the complete freedom to set up the Node.js environment for your apps. And whenever Node.js releases new versions, you should update your environment as well. Only with a VPS server can you upgrade and tweak your environment anytime you need to.
A VPS provider such as Linode or Vultr offers affordable VPS hosting pricing if you are looking for a Linux server and will install the infrastructure that you need from scratch. What these VPS providers give you is an empty virtual machine with your preferred Linux distribution, for example, Ubuntu. The process of building the infrastructure of your needs is the same as how you install Node.js, MongoDB, MySQL, and so on, when you just have a Linux distribution freshly installed on your local machine.
