Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable applications. It is built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a server and a huge number of online users more efficiently than any other platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that unlike traditional systems which handle the info in massive hunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For instance, when a user has to fill several fields on a site, Node.js handles the info from the first field the second it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more efficiently. In contrast, other systems 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 negligible for a single user, but it absolutely does make a difference if a large number of individuals are visiting a site simultaneously. A few instances of websites where Node.js can be employed are dining reservation portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, i.e. sites that support quick real-time interaction.

Node.js in Web Hosting

All web hosting plans that we are offering include Node.js and you’re able to add this leading-edge event-driven platform to your account via the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to choose the number of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many separate sites/platforms will make use of Node.js simultaneously, and you can add as many instances as you need. The Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to set the exact location of your .js application and to choose if you’ll use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a random port selected by our cloud platform. On top of that, you can stop or restart any instance that you’ve activated, edit the path to the .js application or view the active instances’ output with only a few clicks from your hosting Control Panel using a pretty simple-to-use GUI.
