Can I use Node.js on Bacan's free plan?

Thank you for your question — this is a very common one among our users. Here is a clear and direct answer:

No, Bacan's free plan does not support Node.js.
This functionality is available only on professional hosting plans, designed for more demanding projects that require specific server-side technologies like Node.js.


Why is it not available on the free plan?

The free plan is designed for basic websites such as blogs, informational pages, or test projects. As such, it includes essential but limited features. Node.js requires additional resources and special configurations, which is why it is reserved for professional plans.


What are your options if you need Node.js?

If your project depends on Node.js, we recommend upgrading to one of our professional hosting plans, which include:

Node.js support
SSH access (if needed)
Greater CPU and RAM capacity
DirectAdmin or cPanel control panel with advanced tools


How to upgrade your plan

  1. Log in to your Bacan client area.

  2. Go to the «My Services» menu.

  3. Select your current service.

  4. Click «Upgrade or change plan».

  5. Choose a professional plan with Node.js support.

  6. Complete the payment and activation process.

Once done, our technical team can help you upload and configure your Node.js application step by step.


Practical tip:

Before upgrading, have your app's technical requirements on hand (Node.js version, dependencies, etc.) so we can assist you more quickly and effectively.
