Node.js is an event-driven runtime system built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used by scalable apps that require real-time communication between a server and the Internet users and can significantly accelerate the performance of any Internet site that’s using it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP requests and responses and constantly delivers small amounts of information. For instance, in case a new user fills a signup form, as soon as any information is inserted in one of the fields, it is sent to the server even if the remaining fields are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the information is processed much faster. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one big chunk of information is then sent to the server. Regardless of how small the difference in the information processing time may be, circumstances change when the site expands and there’re lots of persons using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by online reservation portals, real-time browser-based games or live chat software, for example, and lots of companies, including LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already incorporated it into their services.

Node.js in Cloud Web Hosting

You will be able to take advantage of Node.js with every cloud web hosting package that we offer, since the platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an active shared account with a few clicks of the mouse. Once you log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can pick how many instances you wish to order. One instance means that one application will use the platform and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your hosting account as you want. A new menu will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly after that and to start using Node.js, you will need to specify the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select whether the connection will go through the physical server’s shared IP or through a dedicated one. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to restart or to deactivate an instance and to view the output of any given app.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can use all the advantages that the Node.js platform is offering, due to the fact that it is comes with all our semi-dedicated packages and you’re able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with several clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the management tool that comes with every semi-dedicated server. In case you wish to employ Node.js for different web-based apps, you can choose the amount of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this service to your plan. Then, you will have to specify the path to the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will show up in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also choose if the path to the specific app will go through a dedicated IP address – if you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP. Each and every instance that you run can be restarted or shut down separately and you can see your apps’ output with just a couple of clicks.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

All Linux VPS web hosting that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with Node.js as standard and you can use the platform for each web application that you host on the Virtual Private Server.

You’ll only need to include the folder path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. Furthermore, our system will also select a port number to access this file and you’ll be able to find it in the corresponding section in the Control Panel. With just one click of the mouse, you will be able to view your apps’ output and to delete or to restart any instance running on the VPS server.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Node.js is included with all dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you’ll be able to make the most of this event-driven platform as soon as your dedicated server is up and running. Since Hepsia is extremely simple to work with, you will be able to make that without coming across any complications, even if you have never worked with Node.js before, as everything that you will have to do on your end is include the directory path to the .js file that will use the platform and the IP address that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other sites. You can create as many Node.js instances as you need on our really powerful dedicated servers and each of them can be controlled separately – you will be able to start, to reboot or to remove it, to check the output of the application using it, etc. You can do this via the user-friendly, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take full advantage of the power of the Node.js platform with no effort.
