Node.js Hosting

Deploy Node.js apps to GoDaddy's hosting platform with a REST API. Upload source, publish, roll back — every operation is scriptable and idempotent. No dashboard clicks required.

What you can do

The Node.js Hosting API covers the full lifecycle of a hosted Node.js app:

Manage apps

Create, read, update, and delete apps. Creation is async — poll the returned job until the app is ready.

Ship code

Upload a zipped source bundle, then publish it. Every publish becomes a rollback target.

Manage secrets

Set, update, and delete environment secrets per variant. Values never leave the platform.

Read logs

Pull application and build logs for either variant with source and time-range filters.

Two variants per app

Every app has a preview variant for iteration and a publish variant for production. Uploads and secret changes land on preview first; publish promotes the current preview to the production variant. Rollback swaps the publish variant back to a prior deployment.

See Concepts for the full model.

Async by default

Long-running operations return immediately with a job or deployment record. Poll the matching status endpoint until the operation reaches a terminal state:

  • POST /apps → poll GET /apps/jobs/{jobId}
  • POST /apps/{appId}/source → poll GET /apps/{appId}/source/status?jobId=...
  • POST /apps/{appId}/deployments → poll GET /apps/{appId}/deployments and GET /apps/{appId}/status
  • POST /apps/{appId}/rollback → poll the same deployment/status endpoints
