Node.js is an advanced, event-driven non-blocking I/O system meant for sites which offer interactive communication. Some instances of such sites are online browser game portals, online chat rooms or hotel booking portals. Node.js handles the info sent between the Internet site and its users in small bits, which accelerates the load speed and the overall performance of the site considerably. If a given form with three boxes is expected to be filled by a particular user, for example, normally all three boxes should be filled out and their entire content is then sent as one sizeable hunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed once it is inserted, before the user writes anything in the second box. Thus, a lot more information can be handled a lot faster and more efficiently in contrast with any traditional system, which can exert a huge effect on the site’s performance. Node.js is already being employed by many of the leading IT corporations like Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting

You will be able to take advantage of Node.js with every cloud website hosting package offered by our company, as the platform is available on our cloud servers and can be added to an active account with a few clicks. When you log into your Hepsia Control Panel, you will see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can choose how many instances you wish to order. One instance means that one application will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your account as you like. A new section will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel soon afterwards and to begin using Node.js, you will have to add the path to the .js file that will use it and to select if the connection will pass through the shared IP address of the server or through a dedicated one. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to reboot or to switch off an instance and to view any given app’s output.
