Node.js
Find out more on the potency of Node.js and also how it can help you with your future online app.
Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable Internet applications. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a server and an immense number of users much more effectively than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that unlike conventional platforms that handle the info in large chunks, it processes everything in tiny bits. For instance, when a user needs to fill a few fields on a site, Node.js handles the info from the first field as soon as it is inserted, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more effectively. In comparison, other platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the information from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single user, but it indeed does make a difference if a large number of people are visiting a website at once. A few instances of websites where Node.js can be applied are dining booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. websites that offer quick real-time interaction.
Node.js in Shared Website Hosting
All shared website hosting offered by our company include Node.js and you’re able to add this advanced event-driven platform to your shared account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will be able to select the number of instances for this particular upgrade, in other words how many different sites/platforms will utilize Node.js at the same time, and you can activate as many instances as you want. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to specify the exact path to your .js application and to select whether you will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a randomly generated port number chosen by our cloud system. In addition, you can stop or restart any instance that you have activated, modify the location of the .js application or view the running instances’ output with only several mouse clicks from your hosting Control Panel via a truly simple-to-navigate graphical interface.
