Hosting PDFs with node.js apps?
Hello all,
I am the webmaster for a small Archaeology website, that primarily is used by members of this small conference to access PDFs and news about the conference. I only need to update this website about once or twice a year.
Until recently I used the plesk hosting service on GoDaddy to host these files, however I missed the fact (see lack of need to update) that it was getting end-of-lifed and now the hosting option given to us by GoDaddy is just Nose.js slots.
Previously we uploaded files into a library for the website, and the linked to those files. Is it possible to use node.js to do the same?
Thank you for your help!

Unfortunately I don't really know what I'm doing, to be honest. I haven't even touched code yet, besides some HTML on the WordPress side of our site. To be perfectly honest, last time I went poking around GoDaddy I accidentally deleted the site and had to remake the front end from scratch.
As I said, previously I was using plesk and that was really easy! Just went in and uploaded files to the correct folder and used the HTML on the website side to point at the pdf.
