Putting socket.io on a Website

[stargroup100]

So I'm getting into working with node.js and socket.io to make real-time web games, but I'm running into some obstacles.

I've already figured out how to install node.js and socket.io on my computer, and I can run basic servers and open them through http://localhost:8888/.

But now what I don't understand, and there doesn't seem to be anything on the web that explains this, is how to get this onto a website. Obviously, someone else on the internet that enters that same URL isn't going to see the same thing as what's on my screen. How do I get this onto a webpage so that anyone that visits that URL accesses the server?

is there a specific error you're getting? i don't know anything about js but i instantly thought of permissions

see if dev console of the user's browser reports any errors as well

Uh, you have to install node.js and socket.io on a server instead of your personal computer. That generally requires that you have hosting with shell access, or a dedicated server / VPS.
