Node.js is an avant-garde, open-source, event-driven, I/O platform intended for Internet sites that offer real-time communication. Several instances of such sites are online browser game portals, web-based chat rooms or hotel booking portals. The platform handles the information sent between the site and its users in tiny bits, which accelerates the loading speed and the performance of the website considerably. If a given form with 3 boxes is expected to be filled by a specific user, for example, normally all three boxes should be filled out and the entire content is then sent as one big hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed as soon as it is entered, before the user types anything in the second one. In this way, much more info can be handled a lot faster and more efficiently in contrast with any conventional system, which can exert a huge effect on the website’s performance. Node.js is already being employed by many of the biggest IT firms like Microsoft and Yahoo.

You can make this from the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to use Node.js in no more than a few minutes after you add this upgrade to the account. You’ll be able to choose how many instances you want to add to the account – one instance means that one app will be using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can specify the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and select whether that file will be accessible through the physical server’s shared IP address or through a dedicated IP. Our system will also designate a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to shut down or to restart each instance separately, if it’s necessary.

Using the Hepsia Control Panel’s intuitive graphical interface, you will have to insert the path to the .js file for every instance and to select whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared IP.
