**No.** We do not support the mod_passenger Apache module on shared hosting accounts.

## What is mod_passenger?

Phusion Passenger (mod_passenger) is an application server that runs Ruby, Python and Node.js web applications behind Apache.

## How to run these applications instead

cPanel includes tools for setting up these applications on shared hosting:

- **Setup Python App** for Python frameworks such as Django and Flask
- **Setup Node.js App** for Node.js applications

If you need full control over the application server, consider a Managed VPS.
