Power up with new SaaS Add-Ons from the DigitalOcean Marketplace

Question

Can I run multiple WordPress sites *and* a node.js app on one VPS?

  • Posted September 21, 2013

I need to host my new Ghost install on node.js, which generally requires a VPS. But I need to transfer all my WordPress sites over in order to justify the expense.

Can I do all this on one $5/mo. VPS server account?
