node js server is not working on shared hosting server

I am working on a Node.js app.

Hosting of node js for my app is not working so I just create one small sample demo for hosting node js on server but still its not working.

I share you the code and step that I have done until now for setup the code.

ServerDemo.js

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(12043, '0.0.0.0');
console.log('Server running at : http://0.0.0.0:12043/');

then I have connect my server from PuTTy and then I run my serverdemo.js with following command

nodejs /var/www/websites/webrtc.windinternet.nl/htdocs/webrtcapp/serverdemo.js

it will so the following output 

Server running at : http://0.0.0.0:12043/

then I enter 

$ netstat -an | grep "LISTEN "

which so following output 

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:21              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:25            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:10050           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:3306          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:12043           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 :::4949                 :::*                    LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 :::21                   :::*                    LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 ::1:25                  :::*                    LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN

so port 12043 is listening but when I'm running $ nmap -sT localhost command it shows only following ports are open:

PORT     STATE SERVICE
21/tcp   open  ftp
22/tcp   open  ssh
25/tcp   open  smtp
80/tcp   open  http
3306/tcp open  mysql

when I am trying to access http://test.domain.com:12043 it always display The webpage is not available.

If you need any more description from my side, please add comments.

The code below will work. Try it once...

Give your machine an IP address or localhost instead of 0.0.0.0.

var http = require('http');

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(12043, 'localhost');

console.log('Server running at : http://localhost:12043/');

While you host Node.js application on shared server as per my question you have to run follow above steps as i mention and at last you need to open respected port on server for running node.js application.

Command : telnet -l username test.domain.com 12043

This telnet command open the respected port and Your application is working fine.
