Node.js is an innovative, open-source, event-driven, non-blocking input/output system meant for Internet sites which offer real-time interaction. Several examples of such websites are online browser game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. The platform handles the info sent between the site and its users in tiny bits, which improves the loading speed and the overall performance of the website noticeably. When some form with three boxes has to be filled by a user, for example, typically all three boxes should be filled and the entire content is then delivered as one massive chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed once it is inserted, before the user writes anything in the second one. In this way, a lot more information can be processed a lot faster and more effectively in comparison to any traditional system, which can exert an immense impact on the website’s performance. Node.js is already being employed by some of the top IT firms such as Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js with every cloud hosting plan offered by us, as the event-driven platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an existing shared account with several clicks. Once you sign into your Hepsia Control Panel, you will see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can select how many instances you want to get. One instance means that one app will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your account as you like. A new section will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly afterwards and to begin using Node.js, you will have to enter the path to the .js file that will use it and to select whether the connection will pass through the shared IP of the server or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also permit you to reboot or to remove an instance and to see the output of any given application.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated servers support Node.js, so in case you want to host any real-time application on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform, you can make full use of the power that Node.js can offer you with only several mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The feature is upgradeable, so in case you’d like to use Node.js for multiple websites, you will be able to choose the number of available instances, one instance being one application. Using Hepsia’s user-friendly graphical interface, you’ll have to insert the location of the .js file for every instance and to select if Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will assign a randomly generated port number to access your application and you will find it in the corresponding Control Panel section. Hepsia will also permit you to check the output of each of your apps or to deactivate/reboot each instance independently.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can take advantage of Node.js with each of the Linux VPS servers offered by us if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. The platform will have its very own section where you can configure it with a few mouse clicks even if you haven’t got any experience with similar software, as Hepsia is incredibly intuitive and simple to use. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to enter the folder path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your VPS’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port number will be selected automatically as well. There won’t be any constraints on how many Internet sites can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our Virtual Private Servers for many sites and enjoy an incredible overall performance. Fast-access buttons in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to start, to cancel or to restart any Node.js instance separately and to check their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is included with all dedicated web hosting plans on which our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a pretty simple and easy-to-use GUI, so even if you haven’t worked with Node.js before, you will be able to uncover its full potential in only a couple of easy steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the app’s content, you’ll need to specify the path to the respective .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP which they’ll use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will set a randomly generated port number that will be used to access the files in question. There is no constraint as to the total number of Node.js instances that you can set up and run at the same time and you’ll exert full control over them through the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to add new ones or to delete/restart existing ones, to review the output log for each application, and so on.
