Node.js
Find out more about the abilities of the Node.js instrument and how it could be used to enhance your web apps.
Node.js is an event-driven runtime environment, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used by scalable apps that need live communication between a server and the worldwide web users and can noticeably boost the performance of any Internet site that’s using it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly provides small amounts of information. For instance, in case a new user fills out a registration form, once any info is inserted in one of the boxes, it is submitted to the server even if the other fields are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the information is processed much faster. In contrast, traditional systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one huge chunk of information is then delivered to the server. Irrespective of how tiny the difference in the information processing speed may be, circumstances change in case the website grows bigger and there’re many people using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for online booking portals, real-time browser-based games or live chat programs, for example, and lots of companies, including Yahoo, eBay and LinkedIn, have already integrated it into their services.

Node.js in Web Hosting
You will be able to take advantage of Node.js with every
web hosting package offered by our company, as the event-driven platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing shared account with several mouse clicks. After you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you will find Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can pick how many instances you want to get. One instance means that one single app will use Node.js and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your account as you need. A new menu will appear in the Control Panel shortly afterwards and to start using Node.js, you will need to indicate the path to the .js file that will use it and to decide whether the connection should pass through the shared IP of the server or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also permit you to restart or to turn off an instance and to check the output of any given application.
