Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable web apps. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles requests and responses between a server and an enormous number of users much more efficiently than any other platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in contrast to conventional systems which process the info in sizeable hunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For instance, when a user has to fill a few fields on a website, Node.js processes the information in the first field as soon as it is typed, utilizing the server processing time more efficiently. In contrast, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single user, but it actually does make a difference if a large number of individuals are browsing a website at once. A few examples of Internet sites where Node.js can be applied are online dinner booking portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, in other words sites that need quick live interaction.
Node.js in Cloud Hosting
When you host a web app on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform and you’d like to try out Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your web hosting account regardless of the cloud hosting package that you’re using. This can be done through the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to use Node.js in no more than a few minutes after you add this service to the account. You can choose how many instances you wish to add to the account – one instance means that one app will be using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can include the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and choose if that file will be accessible through the shared IP address of the physical server or through a dedicated one. Our platform will also specify a port number for the connection. You will be able to disable or to reboot each instance independently, if it’s needed.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages include Node.js, so if you wish to run any real-time application on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to take advantage of the power that the system can offer you with only a few clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia Control Panel.

Through Hepsia’s simple-to-navigate interface, you’ll need to insert the location of the .js file for every instance and to select if Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will select a randomly generated port to access your app and you’ll find it in the corresponding Control Panel section.
