Node.js is an innovative event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable web applications. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of users much more effectively than any other system. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that unlike conventional platforms which handle the info in giant chunks, it handles everything in little bits. As an illustration, when a user needs to fill a couple of fields on a site, Node.js processes the info in the first field as soon as it’s entered, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In comparison, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out 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 person, but it absolutely does make a difference when an immense number of users are using a site at once. Several instances of websites where Node.js can be employed are dinner booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, in other words websites that offer quick real-time communication.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

When you host a web app on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform and you’d like to try out Node.js, you will be able to add it to your hosting account irrespective of the shared hosting plan that you’re using. This can be done via the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this service to your account. You will be able to choose how many instances you wish to add to the account – one instance means that one app will be using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can write the path to the .js file in your hosting account and select whether the file in question will be reachable via the shared IP address of the physical server or through a dedicated one. Our platform will also allocate a port number for the connection. You will be able to shut down or to restart each instance separately, if it is needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven web application running in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform comes bundled with all our semi-dedicated server hosting packages and you can get it with only a couple of clicks. In case you wish to use it for multiple sites, you can get more instances via the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The configuration is as easy as choosing the path to your .js file and selecting if the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the server’s shared IPs, so you can take full advantage of Node.js even if you lack previous experience with such software. Our system will also specify a random port number that will be used to access the .js file for the particular app. Hepsia has an easy to work with graphical interface that will permit you to restart and to deactivate any of your running instances, to activate new ones or to view your applications’ output with just one single click.

Node.js in VPS

Node.js is available with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-managed Linux VPS services that we offer and you can configure it without any difficulty, even if you haven’t worked with it before, because Hepsia offers an easy-to-navigate, point ‘n’ click graphical interface, which will allow you to do anything without efforts. The Node.js platform can be used for as many Internet apps as you wish, so you can get the most out of your Internet sites by combining the power of our servers with the performance provided by the Node.js platform. You’ll have to define the path to the .js file within your account and to choose if it will use a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared one and you will be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port number that our system will select randomly when you add a new Node.js instance. The Hepsia Control Panel will grant you complete control over all Node.js instances and, with only a click, you’ll be able to start, to discontinue 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

Node.js is offered with all dedicated hosting on which our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers an amazingly simple and easy-to-use interface, so even if you’ve never worked with the Node.js platform before, you’ll be able to unleash its true potential in just a few easy steps. Once you’ve uploaded the app’s content, you will have to enter the location of the specific .js files that will use Node.js and to select the IP address that they will use (dedicated or shared), whereas our system will select a randomly generated port number that will be used to access these files. There isn’t any restriction on the total amount of instances that you can set up and use simultaneously and you will exert total command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to add new ones or to stop/restart existing ones, to revise the output log for each app, and many others.
