No, not at all.
If you build you app in wappler-php you can upload it to any cheap shared hosting.
If you want to build it on nodeJS it is a little more complicated. You could go with a VPS and Docker (Machines). You could use PaaS like Heroku or DigitalOcean App Platform where you can host a app without server maintainance. But there are also shared hosting companies that have cpanel-nodeJS-support like namecheap, A2, fastcomet etc. (but maybe some incompatibly issues).
