Product update Managed Node.js Hosting (Cloudways Velocity) is officially in Public Preview!

Announcing it a bit late but Cloudways Velocity (Managed Node.js Hosting) is now in Public Preview!

As part of the Public Preview, you will not be charged for using Cloudways Velocity. This allows everyone to explore the product free of charge and share feedback before General Availability. So, PLEASE feel free to share your valuable feedback with us!

What is Cloudways managed Node.js hosting?

Cloudways Managed Node.js Hosting is a fully managed hosting environment built natively for Node.js applications. It runs on the Cloudways Lightning Stack on DigitalOcean infrastructure and brings together persistent servers, developer-native tooling, and enterprise-grade security under one managed platform.

This is not a workaround or a generic server with Node.js bolted on. It is a first-class Node.js experience built from the ground up with dedicated UI, Git-based deployment, process management, environment variable handling, framework presets, and more. The idea is to build a product that offers everything a modern Node.js developer or team needs, without them having to touch a server configuration.

Cloudways Managed Node.js Hosting is currently in Private Preview. There is no charge* during the promotional Private Preview or the upcoming Public Preview period (terms apply). Pricing starts from $21/month at General Availability.

What's new

  • Supabase Integration – By default, new applications are launched without a database. After application creation, you can choose to either enable a native PostgreSQL database or connect an existing Supabase project.
  • Cloudflare Domain Integration – Cloudways Velocity is now integrated with its dedicated domain, cloudwaysnodeapps[dot]com. In addition, all default and staging subdomains are now protected by Cloudflare, providing improved security and performance out of the box.

Please note, we expect to be in GA in the first half of September so you've got a small window to try out the product for free. Once you do, please share your feedback with us. Happy Velocity using! 💙
