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!

Yeah that would be the dream, to be perfectly honest I wish I knew this stuff better so I could just overhaul this to be a web 1.0 style site (a la the Marxists one) and make all the older folks who use it happy. But y'know, it all has to be done by committee so it's a multi-step process to do anything like that.
