Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven system, which is used to set up scalable web apps. It uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of online users more effectively than any traditional system. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in difference between conventional platforms that process the info in giant chunks, it processes everything in small bits. For example, if a user needs to fill in several fields on a site, Node.js processes the information in the first field as soon as it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing resources more efficiently. In comparison, conventional systems wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it certainly does make a difference when a large number of individuals are browsing a site simultaneously. A few instances of sites where Node.js can be employed are dinner reservation portals, chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, in other words websites that need quick live communication.

Node.js in Web Hosting

As Node.js is present on our advanced cloud platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared web hosting account and to utilize it for any web application that you’ve got, irrespective of which web hosting package you have chosen during the subscription process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared hosting accounts, will allow you to select the number of instances that you want to get – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes afterwards, you can add the path to the application, in other words the location of the .js file in your hosting account, as well as to select the IP address to gain access to the file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to restart an instance or to stop it if you don’t need it anymore. You will also get access to the output code with only a single click of the mouse.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based web application running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform is included with all our semi-dedicated packages and you can enable it with only a couple of clicks. In case you want to use it for multiple sites, you can enable more instances through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The configuration is as easy as including the path to your .js file and choosing if Node.js should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared ones, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you haven’t got any previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also select a random port that will be used to access the .js file for the specific app. Hepsia has an easy-to-use interface that will allow you to reboot and to stop any of your running instances, to order new ones or to check your applications’ output with just one single click.

Node.js in VPS

Node.js comes bundled with all Hepsia Control Panel-equipped Linux VPS services that we’re offering and you can configure it without having any difficulty, even if you’ve never used it beforehand, because Hepsia offers an easy-to-use, point-and-click GUI, which will permit you to do anything without efforts. The platform can be used for as many Internet apps as you want, so you can make the most of your websites by mixing the power of our VPSs with the performance that the Node.js platform offers. You’ll have to include the directory path to the .js file within your account and to select if it will use a dedicated IP or your VPS server’s shared IP and you’ll be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port that our system will generate randomly when you create a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will give you complete control over all instances and, with only one click, you’ll be able to start, to stop or to reboot them, as well as to view the output of each app that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use the Node.js platform with your real-time, script-powered apps at no additional charge in case you get one of our dedicated hosting and select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section through a user-friendly GUI, which will permit you to start/remove/restart any instance or to view the output of the app which uses it with only one click. Even if you are not very experienced, you will be able to make use of the Node.js platform, since all you will have to do to set it up is insert the folder path to the .js file and pick the IP address that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated one. A random port number will be assigned automatically as well and you’ll see the upsides of using Node.js straight away. By mixing Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you’ll be able to take advantage of the full potential of your apps and to get the best possible performance.
