Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable Internet applications. It is built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a server and an enormous number of online users much more effectively than any other platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in difference between conventional systems which handle the info in massive hunks, it handles everything in small bits. For example, in case a user has to fill out a couple of fields on a site, Node.js handles the information in the first field as soon as it is inserted, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In comparison, conventional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single user, but it surely does make a difference if a huge number of individuals are browsing a website at the same time. Several instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be applied are online dinner booking portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, in other words websites that support quick real-time communication.
Node.js in Hosting
When you host a web application on our avant-garde cloud website hosting platform and you would like to try out Node.js, you will be able to add it to your web hosting account regardless of the hosting package that you use. This can be done through the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to use Node.js in no more than a few minutes after you add this service to your account. You can select the number of instances that you’d like to add to the account – one instance means one app using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can define the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and select whether that file will be reachable through the physical server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated one. Our platform will also set a port for the connection. You’ll be able to deactivate or to reboot each instance separately, in case it is required.

You can pick a dedicated IP if you’ve got one, or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses. Our system will also designate a random port. Using the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you’re able to see the output of a given app or to start/reboot/delete any of the instances that you have activated.
