Node.js
Discover more about the abilities of the Node.js instrument and how it could be used to boost your web applications.
Node.js is a cutting-edge, event-driven non-blocking I/O system intended for sites which support live communication. A few instances of such websites are web-based browser video game portals, online chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. The platform processes the info exchanged between the website and its visitors in tiny bits, which boosts the loading speed and the performance of the website substantially. If some form with three boxes should be filled out by a user, for example, typically all three boxes should be filled out and the whole content is then delivered as one large hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed as soon as it is entered, before the user types anything in the second box. In this way, a lot more info can be handled much faster and more effectively in contrast with any traditional system, which can exert a substantial effect on the performance of the site. Node.js is already being employed by many of the biggest IT corporations such as Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting
You can use Node.js with each
cloud website hosting package offered by us, since the event-driven platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an active hosting account with a few clicks. When you sign in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can select the number of instances that you wish to get. One instance means that one single app will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you need. A new section will appear in the Control Panel soon afterwards and to start using Node.js, you will have to indicate the path to the .js file that will use it and to choose whether the connection should go through the physical server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to restart or to switch off an instance and to see the output of any given application.
