Key points

• Shared hosting plans (Start-Up, Swala, Sungura, Faru) are for PHP and static sites. Node.js apps need Web App Hosting, which runs apps through cPanel's Application Manager (under Software), not "Site Software" or "Setup Node.js App".
• For Node apps, the Application Path in Application Manager must match the folder that holds the code, and the entry file should be app.js. Use Restart in Application Manager after uploading changes.
• Web App Hosting customers with an Active service can also use the one-time GitHub deploy form in the client area.
• If the customer is stuck, ask which framework they use and their domain, then send the matching guide link above. Escalate to a human agent if they need hands-on help.
