我已经通过云9创建了一个节点应用程序，但是如何将应用程序与网站连接起来？

Question

I've made a Node.js app, and it functions on Cloud 9 as an HTML page, but I want to move it to a web address that I currently own and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to link the backend to the front end. I'm going to try to deploy the backend to a Heroku server, but how would I go about getting my app to display on a web address that I currently own?

Answer 1

Cloud9 does not allow for public hosting of websites: see here . You cannot point your own domain name to a cloud9 workspace.

If you're already moving a part of your app to Heroku, why not move the rest of it? Heroku provides hosting services, and you can point your domain there. See here for a tutorial on how to do that.

Otherwise, if you have two separate apps, you can point your domain to the Heroku app, and then set up a redirect on the route/subdomain to take the user to the cloud9 app. This is bad practice, but it works.
