Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven system, which is used to create scalable applications. It is built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles requests and responses between a server and an enormous number of online users more efficiently than any other system. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in difference between conventional platforms that handle the information in large chunks, it processes everything in tiny bits. For instance, in case a user needs to fill out several fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the information from the first field the moment it’s inserted, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it undoubtedly does make a difference if a large number of individuals are visiting a site at once. A few examples of sites where Node.js can be employed are dinner reservation portals, chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, i.e. websites that offer quick live communication.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting

As Node.js is present on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your shared web hosting account and to use it for any web application that you have, irrespective of which cloud website hosting package you’ve picked during the subscription process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all web hosting accounts, will allow you to pick the number of instances that you’d like to get – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A few minutes after that, you can insert the path to the application, in other words the location of the .js file in your shared web hosting account, as well as to select the IP address to access that file – a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js section that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to restart an instance or to cancel it if you no longer need it. You’ll also be provided with access to the output code with just a click of the mouse.

Using the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you are able to check the output of a given app or to start/restart/discontinue any of the instances that you’ve activated.
