Node.js is an innovative, event-driven asynchronous I/O platform built for websites which support interactive communication. A few examples of such sites are online browser-based game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. Node.js processes the info transmitted between the Internet site and its users in tiny bits, which accelerates the speed and the performance of the website considerably. When some form with three boxes has to be filled out by a particular user, for example, normally all three boxes should be filled out and their entire content is then sent as one massive hunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed as soon as it is entered, before the user types anything in the second one. Therefore, a lot more info can be handled much faster and more efficiently compared to any conventional platform, which can have a great effect on the performance of the site. Node.js is already being employed by some of the leading IT firms like Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

You can take advantage of Node.js with every cloud hosting plan that we are offering, as the platform is available on our cloud servers and can be added to an active hosting account with a few mouse clicks.

One instance means that one app will use the platform and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your account as you like. A new menu will show up in the Control Panel soon after that and to start using Node.js, you will need to enter the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to decide whether the connection should pass through the server’s shared IP or through a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to reboot or to cancel an instance and to view any given application’s output.

You can do this in the new section that will appear in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also select if the path to the particular application will go through a dedicated IP – in case you have one, or through the server’s shared IP. Each instance that you add can be rebooted or cancelled separately and you can view your apps’ output with only a few clicks of the mouse.

Our system will also assign a particular port number that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you’ll be all set and will be able to make use of the full potential of your real-time applications.
