Information
Node.js is a server-side JavaScript runtime environment built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js allows developers to use JavaScript for writing server-side scripts and creating scalable network applications. It is particularly useful for web developers, API creators, real-time application developers, and those working with microservice architectures.
Node.js Key Features¶
- Asynchronous Execution Model - Node.js utilizes a non-blocking I/O model, enabling it to efficiently handle numerous concurrent connections.
- High JavaScript Performance - Thanks to the V8 engine, Node.js delivers fast execution of JavaScript code.
- Unified Development Stack - Allows using JavaScript for both client-side and server-side application components.
- Extensive Package Ecosystem - npm (Node Package Manager) provides access to a vast collection of open-source libraries and tools.
- Built-in JSON Support - Simplifies working with JSON data, which is convenient when creating APIs.
- WebSocket Support - Enables the implementation of real-time applications such as chat and online games.
- Extensibility - Node.js functionality can be extended using modules written in C++.
Build Features¶
- Installation possible on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 and Debian 12 operating systems.
- Pre-installed Dependencies - Includes npm and curl tools.
Getting Started After Node.js Deployment¶

Authentication data, which can be found in the Info >> Tags tab of the server control panel or in the sent email:
- Password: Sent in an email upon server delivery.
To work with the service, you need to connect to the server via SSH:
