pixl.chat with site script

[SeeBeyondMusic]

back in high school I made a site so my friends could send each other drawings in class. You can see the site live here https://pixl.glitch.me/

Registered on namecheap

I'll pretty much take any offer of at least $5, Buy it for $8

I'm interested in this, is a database needed to store the messages?
Just looking for a little more info, could I use standard hosting to host this?

Thanks
Also, is this a custom script you wrote?

The messages are not stored on the server. They are sent to any online participants. If you like I can modify the script to store messages in a mysql database or in a local sqlite database.

> "...could I use standard hosting to host this?"
Many webhosts let you use node.js apps, either through CloudLinux or the cPanel version so most cPanel hosts should let you run the site. If you need help looking for a host that is appropriate let me know.

It's sorta custom. The drawing canvas is from someone else's project, and the library I use to let the clients talk to each other is called socket.io, I built this on top of their text messaging example and adapted it for images.
