Node.js is an event-driven runtime system built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable applications that need real-time communication between a server and the worldwide web users and can tremendously enhance the performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly delivers small amounts of information. For instance, in case a new user fills out a subscription form, as soon as any info is entered in any of the fields, it is delivered to the server even if the rest of the boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the information is processed a whole lot faster. In comparison, traditional systems wait for the whole form to be filled and one large hunk of information is then delivered to the server. Irrespective of how little the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change in case the site expands and there are many users using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used by booking websites, interactive web browser-based video games or web-based chat clients, for instance, and plenty of corporations, including Yahoo, eBay and LinkedIn, have already integrated it into their services.
Node.js in Cloud Hosting
You will be able to take advantage of Node.js with each cloud hosting package that we are offering, as the platform is available on our cloud servers and can be added to an active web hosting account with several clicks of the mouse. After you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you will see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can select how many instances you would like to add. One instance means that one single application will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your hosting account as you need. A new section will appear in the Control Panel shortly afterwards and to start using Node.js, you will have to define the path to the .js file that will use it and to select if 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 reboot or to terminate an instance and to view the output of any given app.
