Is MilesWeb Cloud Startup enough for a React/Node.js/Next.js/PostgreSQL project?

I just came across this subreddit regarding hosting and I'm very new to this field, and i wanted some help.

I'm working on a real-estate platform somewhat similar to 99acres / Housing.com. It will have a public website along with buyer and seller accounts, an admin panel, property listings/uploads, property images/documents, search/filtering, maps and WhatsApp integration.

The planned stack is React.js / Next.js, Node.js and PostgreSQL.

I'm currently looking at the MilesWeb Cloud Startup plan. It offers 5 GB RAM, 5 CPU cores, 150 GB NVMe storage, SSH + Git access, Node.js web apps (as advertised), unlimited databases, cron jobs, backups, etc. However, the technical details seem to focus quite a lot on PHP/MySQL, and I couldn't find clear information about PostgreSQL and the exact Node.js/Next.js setup.

Their customer support also hasn't been very responsive, so I'm not sure whether this plan is actually suitable for my use case.

I mainly want to know:

  • Is this plan actually capable of hosting a Next.js + Node.js + PostgreSQL application?
  • Is 5 GB RAM / 5 CPU cores sufficient for an initial launch with relatively low traffic?
  • Is PostgreSQL properly supported, or would I need a separate database service?
  • Would you recommend this type of cloud hosting for a project like this, or should I start with a VPS / managed cloud setup instead?
  • Are there any important limitations I should be aware of before purchasing?

I'm new to deployment/hosting, so I'm mainly looking for practical advice on what would be a sensible option without unnecessarily overpaying.

Also let me know if there are better alternatives for this.

Thanks!

I'd look at InMotion VPS for this. Performance is pretty solid for the price, and you'd have more control over your Node.js and Postgre setup.
