First things first, if you bought your domain elsewhere then you first need to point that domain to your server. You basically have two options here<\/p>\n
Now, if you do that for multiple domains they will all point to your server’s IP and show the same thing, essentially the thing which is running on port 80 (and that, in our main Nginx installation, will be a default Nginx welcome screen). If you have multiple Node.js applications, which are running on different ports, and you want to pinpoint the domains to that particular applications, then this is where the Nginx comes in so that it takes the requests for each domain and routes it\u00a0to an appropriate port where the appropriate Node.js application is running. Basically, what Nginx does in this case is called reverse proxying<\/a>.<\/p>\n Useful links:<\/p>\n Use forever:<\/p>\n Lets start:<\/p>\n Forever keeps your application running when it crashes but if VPS is rebooted it won’t start anymore.
