Hono

Run Hono apps on Hostinger Node.js hosting using the @hono/node-server adapter, with package.json setup, hPanel build settings, and PORT configuration.

Small, fast web framework built on Web Standards. On Hostinger, Hono runs in server mode via the Node.js adapter.

app_type: hono

Server mode

Hono is server-only on Hostinger. The project must use @hono/node-server — that's how Hostinger detects a Hono app (hono + @hono/node-server in dependencies).

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "tsc",
    "start": "node dist/index.js"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "hono": "^4.6.0",
    "@hono/node-server": "^1.13.0"
  }
}

Minimal src/index.ts

import { serve } from '@hono/node-server';
import { Hono } from 'hono';

const app = new Hono();

app.get('/', (c) => c.text('Hello from Hostinger!'));

serve({
  fetch: app.fetch,
  port: Number(process.env.PORT ?? 3000),
});

hPanel settings

Field	Value
Application type	hono
Build script	build
Output directory	dist
Entry file	dist/index.js

An entry file is required for Hono apps.

Static mode

Not applicable. Serve static assets from your Hono app with serveStatic from @hono/node-server/serve-static.

Notes

• Listen on process.env.PORT — don't hard-code a port.

• Deploying to Cloudflare Workers, Deno, or Bun targets won't run here; use the Node.js adapter entry shown above.
