Node.js is a cutting-edge, open-source, event-driven, non-blocking I/O system meant for websites which offer real-time interaction. Several instances of such sites would be online browser game portals, live chat rooms or hotel booking portals. Node.js handles the info transmitted between the Internet site and its visitors in tiny bits, which enhances the speed and the performance of the site substantially. When a certain form with three boxes is expected to be filled by a user, for example, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled out and the entire content is then delivered as one massive chunk 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 processed much faster and more efficiently in contrast to any other platform, which can have a serious influence on the website’s performance. Node.js is already being used by some of the leading IT corporations such as Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting

You will be able to make use of Node.js with every cloud website hosting package offered by us, as the event-driven platform is available on our cloud servers and can be added to an existing account with several clicks of the mouse. Once you sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can pick the number of instances that you wish to order. One instance means that one app will use Node.js and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you like. A new section will show up in the Control Panel soon after that and to start using Node.js, you will need to include the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to decide if the connection should go through the shared IP address of the server or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to restart or to stop an instance and to see any given application’s output.
