Node.js is a leading-edge, event-driven asynchronous input/output platform devised for websites that offer live communication. A few examples of such sites would be online browser game portals, online chat rooms or hotel booking portals. The platform handles the information transmitted between the site and its visitors in tiny bits, which enhances the loading speed and the performance of the site tremendously. When some form with three boxes is expected to be filled out by a particular user, for example, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled and their entire content is then forwarded as one sizeable hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed once it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second one. Thus, much more information can be handled a lot faster and more effectively compared with any conventional platform, which can exert a serious effect on the performance of the website. Node.js is already being employed by some of the largest IT corporations such as Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Shared Website Hosting
When you host a web app on our advanced cloud platform and you’d like to try Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your hosting account regardless of the shared website hosting package that you’re using. You can make this via the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You can choose how many instances you wish 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 indicate the path to the .js file in your hosting account and select whether the file in question will be reachable via the physical server’s shared IP or via a dedicated one. Our system will also specify a port for the connection. You will be able to delete or to reboot each instance independently, if it is needed.

Using Hepsia’s easy-to-use interface, you will need to specify the path to the .js file for each instance and to select if Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared IP. Our cloud platform will choose a random port to access your app and you’ll see it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel.

You’ll just have to include the location of the specific .js file and to select whether Node.js will use the server’s shared IP address or a dedicated one. Our system will also allocate a specific port that will be used to access the .js file.
