Although it is recommended to run your website on the latest Node.js version, it is better if it is an LTS (long-term supported). The reason is, an LTS version is much more stable than a ‘current’ version. However, if you want a feature exclusive to only the current version and not present in the LTS, you should go for the current. If you are using our Node Js hosting in New Zealand, you do not have to worry about that, as our team will prescribe the most suitable one for your website.
