Why a VPS for this

Any Node.js version

Install several versions with nvm and switch per project.

Everything on one box

App, database, cache and reverse proxy together, talking over localhost.

Long-running processes

Websockets, queues and cron jobs run without request timeouts or cold starts.

Get started

  1. 01

    Install Node.js

    Use curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | bash - then apt install nodejs, or install nvm.

  2. 02

    Deploy your code

    git clone the repository, run npm ci, and keep secrets in environment variables.

  3. 03

    Keep it running

    Start it with pm2 start npm --name app -- start and run pm2 startup so it starts on boot.

  4. 04

    Put a proxy in front

    Run Caddy or nginx on IPv6 port 443 and proxy to your app on localhost, with Cloudflare in front for IPv4 visitors.

Shared IPv4 with 20 ports and IPv6 included; dedicated IPv4 +$3/mo

Your VPS is usually ready in minutes. During busy times it may take up to 48 hours to create; you'll get an email the moment it's ready. The same goes for a dedicated IPv4 address.

NAT · IPv6

NAT IPv4 and IPv6, in plain words

How people and programs reach your VPS, and what that means for what you run on it.

IPv4: one shared address, 20 ports of your own

IPv4 addresses are scarce, so several VPSes share one public IPv4 address. Your VPS gets its own block of 20 ports on it. Traffic to those ports goes straight to your VPS. The panel shows your address and your port range.

IPv6: an address that is only yours

Your VPS also has its own public IPv6 address. Every port on it is yours, including 80 and 443, so a website or service can listen on its normal port.

Running a website

Ports 80 and 443 on the shared IPv4 address are not yours. Point your domain's AAAA record at your IPv6 address and put Cloudflare's proxy in front: it accepts IPv4 visitors and passes them to your VPS over IPv6. A tunnel such as Cloudflare Tunnel works too, or add a dedicated IPv4 for $3 a month.

Going out is not limited by the port block

The 20 ports are for incoming connections. Your VPS can reach the internet as usual: updates, APIs, Discord and Git all work without opening anything.

For a public website, listen on IPv6 port 443 and use Cloudflare's proxy so IPv4 visitors reach you, or add a dedicated IPv4 ($3 a month) and use port 443 directly. APIs for your own tools can simply use a port from your block.

Example: SSH on the first port of your block looks like ssh -p 40001 root@203.0.113.10. Your real address and ports are in the panel.

Need a whole IPv4 address of your own? Add a dedicated IPv4 for $3 a month and every port on it is yours.
