Step 1: Buy VPS hosting from https://www.a2hosting.com/ ( https://www.a2hosting.com/vps-hosting ).

Step 2: Configure Your DNS servers

As show in above screen shot. In first row under hostname enter your domain name like akaroinvoices.rocks and keep Record type already selected option A(address). In Address field enter your ip address without port number.

In second row under host name enter @ as shown in screen shot. In Record type select default A(address). In Address field type your IP address without port number.

mongod

mongo

and for node js

install nodemon by using command : sudo npm install -g nodemon

and run command: nodemon start

7. Now hit the url or IP of your server and you will see your node server working.

8. But for running the node js and mongodb in background we need to start services.

so for mongodb you start service by below command:

sudo service mongod start

9. To run node js service you need PM2. Follow the below link:
