What You Can Build

The Powerful relational database for complex data and reliability.

REST & GraphQL APIs

Production-Grade API Infrastructure

Deploy Express, Fastify, or Apollo servers that run 24/7 with PM2. Configure nginx as a reverse proxy with SSL termination and handle traffic without cold starts or function timeouts.

Full-Stack JavaScript

End-to-End JS Deployments

Host Next.js, Nuxt, or Remix apps alongside your Node.js backend on the same VPS. Control your entire stack including runtime version, memory limits, environment variables, and process concurrency.

Scheduled Jobs & Workers

Background Processing Without Limits

Run cron jobs, queue workers, and batch processing tasks without cloud provider restrictions. Use PM2 cluster mode to maximize CPU utilization across all available cores.

Your VPS. Run anything.

Choose your OS, deploy any app in minutes from your dashboard, and run whatever you build on infrastructure you fully own.

I highly recommend Dreamhost.

After parting company with several web hosting companies, I finally found myself with Dreamhost. I've been with them now for several years and have found them to have the highest website uptime compared with all others I've tried. Websites on our VPS load quickly and work. The Dreamhost support team and always friendly and quick to respond to with helpful advice and/or to get something fixed. Based on my experience, I highly recommend Dreamhost.

great support for newbie developer

After I taught myself Django I got my site up without much difficulty by referring to their "Knowledge Base." Later I made the switch to VPS also without issues. But when they upgraded their VPS I ran into difficulties with libraries. After a little back and forth with tech support my problem was resolved. Their assistance was both timely and professional and much appreciated.
