I am using nodejs and php on my website but when I want to host it on a server they told me there is no server that can run both node and php.

Is there anything that could take the place of nodejs and do the same work not requiring a server for it? I am using nodejs and socket to make realtime updates for my website .

    Long story short, if you're on shared hosting then no. However there are SaaS solutions that can host for you, such as Heroku. Commented Feb 3, 2015 at 12:14

    Any cloud or VPS server can run both PHP and Node at the same time. You get root access and can install whatever you need. Commented Feb 3, 2015 at 12:18

  • Why do you need PHP and NodeJS? Thoses langages are not complementary, they replace each other. What you can do with PHP, you can do it with NodeJS. Commented May 16, 2015 at 14:15

A couple of options are DigitalOcean, AWS (Amazon Webservices) and Heroku.

Personally, I'd go with DigitalOcean. IMO it's the best for small projects; user friendly (good for beginners as well as advanced users), neat stability, easy scalability and best of all: insanely affordable. You can run both in one 'droplet' as you have full control over the OS.
