Node.js is a cutting-edge, event-driven non-blocking I/O system built for websites that support real-time communication. A few instances of such websites would be online browser video game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. Node.js processes the info transmitted between the site and its users in tiny bits, which enhances the speed and the performance of the website significantly. When a given form with 3 boxes has to be filled by a specific user, for example, typically all three boxes should be filled out and their entire content is then submitted as one giant chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed the moment it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second one. Therefore, much more information can be handled much faster and more effectively in contrast to any conventional system, which can exert a huge influence on the site’s overall performance. Node.js is already being employed by many of the biggest IT companies like Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

All Linux shared hosting that we’re offering include Node.js and you can add this innovative event-driven platform to your account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to pick the amount of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many different platforms/sites will use Node.js at once, and you can activate as many instances as you require. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to choose the location of your .js app and to decide if you’ll use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible via a random port allocated by our cloud system. What’s more, you can stop or restart any instance that you have created, edit the path to the .js application or view the output of the active instances with just a couple of mouse clicks from your web hosting Control Panel using an amazingly intuitive interface.
