Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable web apps. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a server and a huge number of users more effectively than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in difference between conventional systems that process the information in large hunks, it handles everything in small bits. For example, in case a user has to fill a few fields on a website, Node.js processes the info from the first field the moment it’s typed, utilizing the server processing time more efficiently. In contrast, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it certainly does make a difference when a large number of people are using a website at the very same time. A couple of instances of websites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner reservation portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, in other words websites that need quick live communication.

Node.js in Cloud Web Hosting

Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you will see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can choose how many instances you wish to activate. One instance means that one application will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your website hosting account as you need. A new section will appear in the Control Panel soon after that and to begin using Node.js, you will need to add the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to decide if the connection will proceed through the shared IP of the server or via a dedicated one. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to reboot or to terminate an instance and to check any given application’s output.
