Node.js is an open-source, event-driven environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It is used by scalable web apps that require live communication between a server and the Internet users and can considerably boost the performance of any website that’s using it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and constantly supplies small amounts of info. For example, if a new user fills a registration form, as soon as any information is entered in one of the boxes, it is submitted to the server even if the other fields are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the information is processed a whole lot faster. In comparison, other systems wait for the whole form to be filled out and one big hunk of information is then forwarded to the server. Regardless of how little the difference in the information processing speed may be, circumstances change in case the Internet site grows bigger and there’re plenty of people using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for online booking portals, real-time browser-based video games or online chat clients, for example, and numerous corporations, among them Yahoo, eBay and LinkedIn, have already integrated it into their services.

You can choose how many instances you would like to add to your account – one instance means that one app will be using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can define the path to the .js file in your hosting account and select if the file in question will be accessible via the physical server’s shared IP or via a dedicated IP. Our system will also designate a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to delete or to restart each instance independently, in case it’s required.
