All you need is ftp access and a ftp software to upload your project. I don't know the specifics of your folder structure but you should upload the files in your project folder, which usually consists from:

  • index.html
  • js folder
  • css folder
  • other html files

then you should be able to access your project from your online server's web address.

Yeah I have used FTP software before to upload to a host server my files, but for the structure of a NODE JS app it seems the host server has to have NODE JS installed for it to recognize the program begins with the file of app,js. I have tried HEROKU but for the final app of the JavaScript course of 'Build a Dynamic Site with Node JS', it doesn't work.
