When you need more than shared hosting.
WHEN SHARED HOSTING SUFFICES
Your framework exports static files.
Upload them like any static site.
WHEN IT DOES NOT
Server-side rendering API routes running on the server Anything requiring a persistent process
WHAT YOU NEED INSTEAD
A VPS, or a platform built for that kind of application.
WHAT A VPS REQUIRES
Setting up the runtime A process manager keeping the application running A web server in front of it Security and maintenance
That is real work. See our servers and VPS articles.
THE MANAGED ALTERNATIVE
Platforms exist that run these applications without server administration.
Convenient, and you are dependent on that provider.
WHAT TO CONSIDER
Cost against your traffic Who maintains it What happens if the provider changes terms
WHAT TO ASK US
What we can support. Open a ticket before committing to an architecture.
