Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven system, which is used to build scalable apps. It uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of online users much more efficiently than any traditional system. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that unlike traditional systems that handle the information in huge hunks, it processes everything in small bits. For example, when a user needs to fill in several fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the info from the first field once it is inserted, utilizing the server processing time more efficiently. In comparison, conventional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single user, but it surely does make a difference if an immense number of users are visiting a website simultaneously. Several instances of websites where Node.js can be employed are dinner reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, i.e. websites that offer quick live interaction.
Node.js in Hosting
Since Node.js is present on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared hosting account and to use it for any web-based application that you’ve got, irrespective of which hosting plan you’ve chosen at signup. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all shared accounts, will allow you to select the number of instances that you’d like to use – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes after that, you will be able to enter the path to the application, in other words where the .js file will be located in your hosting account, as well as to choose the IP address to get access to the file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Control Panel, you will be able to reboot an instance or to deactivate it if you don’t require it anymore. You’ll also have access to the output code with only one click of the mouse.

In case you want to employ Node.js for multiple web-based apps, you can select the number of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this service to your semi-dedicated package. After that, you’ll have to enter the location of the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. You can do this in the new menu that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel after you add the upgrade and during the process, you can also select whether the access path to the specific application should go through a dedicated IP – if you’ve got one, or through the physical server’s shared IP address. Each and every instance that you activate can be restarted or cancelled independently and you can check the output of your applications with just several clicks.
