Node.js: Open other network ports

This documentation is part of the Getting started guide. View the full guide here: Learn how to deploy a Node.js service on Stackhero quickly and securely.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero delivers a ready-to-use Node.js cloud environment designed to help you move faster:

  • Deploy to production in seconds with a simple git push. No extra tooling or manual setup is required.
  • Bring your own domain and benefit from automatic HTTPS certificates, keeping your application secure without extra configuration.
  • Automatic backups, one-click updates, and predictable pricing help you focus on shipping features, and Stackhero manages the infrastructure for you.
  • Built on private, dedicated infrastructure for consistent performance and strong security.

Save time and reduce operational overhead: you can have your application running on Stackhero's Node.js cloud hosting in just a few minutes.

If your application needs to use protocols other than HTTP, you may want to open additional TCP or UDP ports. You can do this directly in the Stackhero dashboard by specifying the public entry port, the destination port on your Node.js service, and the protocol (TCP or UDP).
