Requirements to run Node.js on server

What type of server/service type supports Node.JS applications? Is we need to install node/npm on server.

Does it need to be a dedicated server?

Thank you in advance.

Since node.js have executable on Linux, Windows and Mac, the hardware will not be limited by what can run node.js, but by what your script need, and the workload you expect.

If you run a basic website with little trafic, a RPi will be enought, if you were to port Facebook or Google to node.js, you would still need complete dataserver.

So the only limit is third party utilities and your own knowledge of the platform you use.

I don't think you need anything special, even a random Raspberry PI with linux can host NodeJS app.
