Hello,
I want to purchase a VDS/VPS for my website. I am not using webhosting since my website includes a .bat file which needs to be ran 24/7 for the node modules to be used for something to appear on the website.
However I'm not sure how you would set a website up on a VDS/VPS and how I would connect my domain bought on GoDaddy?
If anyone could help it would be appreciated!

Re: VPS to host Website (Domain Help)
If you have DNS service for this domain already, you can simply create an A record which points to the VDS' IP.
I'm researching GoDaddy and it looks like they paywall their DNS service. Not completely sure on this. I do know that CloudFlare provides DNS service for free, however if you use it make sure to turn off their MITM feature.
Normally, to set up a website you would use a server software like Apache or nginx. But it sounds like you're making a website in Node.js, which requires an express listen server. You will need to start listening from that software.
