What should I check before choosing hosting for a Python or Node.js application?

Not every hosting plan can run a Python or Node.js application. Before choosing one, check supported languages and versions, how the application starts, and whether you can install its dependencies. Terminal access, database type, environment variables and restrictions on long-running processes also matter.

Prepare a list of your application's requirements and ask for compatibility confirmation before ordering. If you are considering cloud hosting, check what administrative access you receive and who is responsible for the operating system, updates and service configuration. The term “cloud” does not automatically mean you can install any software or that server management is included.
