Node.js is made for applications that need to handle high concurrency, asynchronous I/O and data intensive real time operations.
That efficiency makes it well suited to APIs, server rendered front ends, headless CMS platforms, queue workers and real time services, but those workloads still need enough CPU and memory to perform consistently as demand changes.
Without sufficient resources, requests can begin to queue, increasing latency and the risk of timeouts or process failures.
To ensure a high level of performance, our Node.js Hosting combines Managed Cloud Servers optimised for Node.js with integrated application management, giving you a streamlined way to launch and manage projects.
Here’s why Node.js is better with 20i.
Room for your applications to run
Our Node.js Hosting runs on Managed Cloud Servers rather than a conventional shared hosting package.
This means that each server has a defined allocation of processor cores, RAM and SSD storage. These are not shared with anyone else, meaning no “noisy neighbours” slowing down your application.
Current 20iCloud configurations range from 1 CPU core and 1 GB RAM up to 48 CPU cores and 128 GB RAM, so you can choose a server that suits your application, whatever the size, and upgrade as requirements grow.
We also don’t apply artificial application limits, so you can run as many projects as your resources allow, with data centre options from across the globe.
20i resellers also receive an exclusive 10% discount on all our 20iCloud Managed Cloud Servers.
Easy and Intuitive Management through My20i
Server performance is only useful when applications are straightforward to deploy, configure and maintain.
Our Node.js application registration tool lets you register and manage your applications through the My20i control panel.
From here you can monitor CPU, memory, entry processes and I/O, helping to identify any issues linked to resource usage, traffic spikes or background processes.
Integrated Git support lets you deploy from GitHub, Bitbucket or other repositories directly through the platform, without relying on a separate deployment service.
You also get:
- SSH and SFTP access
- Unlimited cron jobs
- Unlimited databases
- Access and error logs
- Environment and application management
- DNS and SSL certificate management
- A browser-based file manager
- One-click Strapi installation
These tools are included within the platform, so you do not need to build a separate collection of services around the server before you can deploy.
When an application outgrows its current allocation, you can easily upgrade the Managed Cloud Server through the control panel rather than migrating the application to a different hosting environment.
Flexibility with the 20i Supercloud
Our Managed Cloud Servers embody the principles of the Supercloud, giving you one platform for deploying and managing Node.js applications across multiple cloud providers.
Deploy on our 20iCloud platform or choose AWS or Google Cloud Platform, then manage your applications through the same My20i control panel. You get a consistent set of management tools and integrated services without having to work across separate provider interfaces.
Our Platform Transfer tools also make it easier to move applications between supported cloud platforms as your requirements change, without rebuilding your management setup around a new provider.
This gives you the flexibility to choose the cloud infrastructure that suits each application while keeping deployment, management and supporting services within the same 20i environment.
Integrated caching and search services
Many Node.js applications spend more time waiting for data than executing JavaScript. Our Managed Cloud Servers include caching and search functionality which can help reduce unnecessary database work and improve application responsiveness.
Redis Cache
Redis stores suitable data in memory, allowing your application to retrieve it without repeating the original database query or calculation.
Redis Cache is included with our managed cloud servers and can be configured for use cases such as:
- Session storage
- API caching
- Frequently requested database results
- Temporary application state
- Queue state and job coordination
Elasticsearch
Search heavy applications can place significant pressure on a primary database, particularly when they need full text search, filtering or autocomplete across a growing dataset.
Elasticsearch creates a separate search index that your Node.js application can query independently of its main database.
This is included with 20i Managed Cloud Servers, giving you a purpose-built search layer that can be particularly useful for product catalogues, content libraries and other applications with demanding search requirements.
Deliver static assets through the global CDN
Not every request needs to reach your Node.js application.
Images, fonts, stylesheets and JavaScript bundles can be cached at edge locations and served closer to visitors. This reduces the distance those requests need to travel and leaves the application server available for dynamic processing.
Our unlimited global CDN is included with all our hosting, with nodes across six continents for blazing fast delivery for visitors in every corner of the world.
Front end delivery can be further optimised with our Website Acceleration Suite, which compresses and optimises images and minifies HTML, CSS and JavaScript, without the need for additional applications.
Security, backups and continuity
Secure Node.js hosting requires protection at several levels.
Our hosting platform includes all the following as standard:
- Enterprise level DDoS protection
- Web Application Firewall (WAF)
- Anti-bot protection
- Malware scanning
- Brute force login protection
- Two-factor authentication
- Free automated SSL certificates
- Daily backups
You can create a backup before a deployment, dependency update or database change, then restore through My20i if required.
We also include a 99.99% uptime guarantee, giving you a clear availability commitment.
Expert support when you need it
Should you need it, our award-winning Technical Support team is available 24×7 to help with the platform, server management and hosting configuration.
Our unique web hosting assistant Twentie is also on hand to troubleshoot issues and report on account data.
For agencies and development teams, our control panel also supports unlimited team members with controlled permissions, meaning teams can collaborate without sharing primary account credentials.
Built for Node.js at scale
Our platform combines dedicated cloud resources, integrated Redis, native Elasticsearch, built-in Git deployment and a global edge CDN into one cohesive environment.
Rather than wasting hours assembling third-party tools, managing complex server stacks, or fighting resource bottlenecks, you get everything needed to run high-concurrency APIs, headless platforms and real-time apps straight out of the box.
That means fewer fragmented services to maintain, more control over your application environment and a scalable platform designed to support your Node.js applications as requirements grow.
