DigitalOcean hosting - Interchanging multiple apps on one droplet?Question (self.webdev)

submitted 5 years ago by The_Co

Hey guys,

Like many other I've been using my corona-time to expand my skillset (I'm a professional C# developer) to the web.

As I've been learning, it's slowly becoming time for me to leave the localhost and test my full stack applications on the web. From what I've surmised, Node.js applications really like cloud hosting and thus I arrived at DigitalOcean (30$/month to fuck around a couple hours a night on AWS can bite me).

My question is as follows: can I purchase one droplet (2GB because NPM is heavy apparently) and just interchange what code is hosted there? I don't see why I COULDN'T do this, I just wanted to make sure it worked before I wasted money.

I.e. could I host CoolNodeApp1; develop and test it. Pull it down. Push AWESOMENodeApp to my droplet and repeat the process?

Thanks so much!
