Node.js is an innovative event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable Internet applications. It is built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and an enormous number of online users more efficiently than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in difference between traditional platforms which handle the info in giant chunks, it handles everything in small bits. For example, if a user has to fill out a couple of fields on a site, Node.js processes the information in the first field the second it is inserted, utilizing the server’s processing resources more effectively. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be negligible for one single user, but it certainly does make a difference when an immense number of users are visiting a website at the very same time. A few examples of sites where Node.js can be employed are dining booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, i.e. sites that offer quick real-time communication.

Node.js in Shared Web Hosting

You’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js with every shared web hosting package offered by our company, since the platform is available on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing hosting account with a few clicks of the mouse. Once you sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can choose the number of instances that you want to add. One instance means that one app will use Node.js and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you like. A new section will show up in the Control Panel shortly after that and to start using Node.js, you will need to enter the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to decide whether the connection should pass through the physical server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also permit you to restart or to terminate an instance and to see any given application’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven software application hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform is offered with all our semi-dedicated server hosting packages and you can enable it with only a few mouse clicks. In case you wish to use it for several websites, you can get more instances through the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The configuration is as easy as entering the folder path to your .js file and selecting if the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared IPs, so you can make use of Node.js even if you have no previous experience with such software. Our system will also designate a randomly generated port that will be used to access the .js file associated with the specific app. Hepsia has a simple-to-use GUI that will allow you to reboot and to deactivate any of your running instances, to get new ones or to see your apps’ output with just a click.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

Node.js comes bundled with all Hepsia Control Panel-managed Linux VPS hosting offered by us and you can configure it without any predicaments, even if you have never worked with it before, since the Hepsia Control Panel has a simple-to-navigate, point-and-click interface, which will allow you to do anything with ease. The platform can be used for as many software apps as you want, so you can make the most of your web sites by mixing the power of our virtual machines with the performance provided by Node.js. You need to specify the path to the .js file in your VPS account and to select whether it will use a dedicated IP address or your server’s shared one and you’ll be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port that our system will allocate randomly when you set up a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will give you complete control over all Node.js instances and, with just a click, you’ll be able to start, to deactivate or to restart them, as well as to see the output of each app that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you decide to purchase one of our Linux dedicated web hosting for your script-based apps and if you select the Hepsia Control Panel during the order procedure, you will be able to make use of Node.js at no extra cost, as the event-driven platform is built into our in-house developed Control Panel tool. As our dedicated servers are quite powerful, you will get superb performance even if you host multiple Node.js instances simultaneously. The configuration takes several clicks and Hepsia’s interface will make it very easy for you to set up a new instance even if you’ve got little or no prior experience. Adding the .js file path and selecting a dedicated or a shared IP will be everything that you will need to do yourself and as soon as our system has set a port to access the .js file, you will be all set. Any of the instances that you have activated can be rebooted or canceled separately and you will acquire access to an exhaustive output log for each of the applications that use the Node.js platform.
