I think that iisnode is a better idea. Host using IIS is better than let a nodejs prompt always opened, running your server, with a danger of someone close or do something that you don't want. I always use iisnode and is very simple, look at Github page.

Thank you. Will use iisnode. – Michael Seltene Jan 19 '18 at 12:31
I would say either. I would recommend using a process manager for this one, like forever, pm2, nodemon, and drop the iisnode, as that technology is out of support these days. – HellBaby Oct 04 '22 at 17:51
