Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable web applications. It uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a server and a large number of users much more efficiently than any conventional system. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in contrast to traditional systems which process the information in huge chunks, it handles everything in small bits. For instance, in case a user has to fill in a couple of fields on a website, Node.js processes the info in the first field the moment it’s entered, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In contrast, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single person, but it absolutely does make a difference if an immense number of individuals are using a website at once. A few instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be used are dinner reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. sites that need fast real-time communication.

Node.js in Hosting

Since Node.js is available on our innovative cloud hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your account and to use it for any web application that you’ve got, regardless of which hosting plan you have picked upon signup. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with all shared accounts, will permit you to pick the number of instances that you would like to use – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. Several minutes after that, you can define the path to the app, i.e. where the .js file will be located in your website hosting account, as well as to choose the IP to receive access to the file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to reboot an instance or to stop it if you don’t require it anymore. You will also obtain access to the output code with only a click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based software app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform comes with all our semi-dedicated packages and you can set it up with just a few clicks of the mouse. If you want to use it for multiple web sites, you can enable more instances through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The configuration is as simple as including the location of your .js file and selecting whether the platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared IPs, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you lack previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also select a randomly generated port that will be used to access the .js file associated with the particular application. Hepsia has a user-friendly graphical interface that will allow you to restart and to remove any of your active instances, to create new ones or to see the output of your applications with just one click.

Node.js in VPS

Node.js is available with all Hepsia Control Panel-managed Linux VPS services that we offer and you can set it up without any problems, even if you’ve never worked with it beforehand, since Hepsia has an intuitive, point-and-click interface, which will allow you to do anything effortlessly. The Node.js platform can be used for as many script-driven web applications as you wish, so you can get the most out of your web sites by mixing the power of our VPS servers with the performance that Node.js provides. You need to enter the location of the .js file in your account and to choose whether it will use a dedicated IP address or your VPS’s shared one and you will be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port that our system will select randomly when you set up a new Node.js instance. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you total control over all instances and, with just a click, you will be able to start, to delete or to restart them, as well as to check the output of each application that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

If you decide to make use of one of our Linux dedicated hosting services for your script-powered software applications and if you select the Hepsia Control Panel during the order process, you will be able to make use of Node.js at no extra fee, since the platform is included in our in-house built Control Panel tool. As our dedicated servers are unbelievably powerful, you will get great performance even if you use multiple Node.js instances at once. The configuration takes a few clicks of the mouse and Hepsia’s user interface will make it exceptionally easy for you to create a new instance even if you have little or no experience. Defining the path to the .js file and selecting a dedicated or a shared IP will be everything that you’ll need to do on your end and as soon as our system has allocated a port number to access this file, you will be all set. Any of the instances that you’ve created can be rebooted or deactivated separately and you will acquire access to a detailed output log for each of the apps that use Node.js.
