I do have a node.js file with this code:
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var path = require('path');
var Chance = require('chance');
var chance = new Chance();
app.get('/get-javascript-file', function(req, res) {
if (chance.integer({min: 1, max: 10}) == 1) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/someFile.js'));
} else {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/someOtherFile.js'));
}
});
app.listen(80);
The nodejs basically based on the number the random function prints,sends as response the someFile.js or someOtherFile.js
Now, i do have a website called site.com hosted in let’s say Godaddy which calls this node.js each time someone accesses the website. How do i do that?! Any idea please? Thank you!

Most standard shared hosting does not support node applications. In order to run a node.js app the node runtime is required. The .js file cannot just be hosted on a standard LAMP server. This guide will walk you through setting up a node app.
