Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to develop scalable applications. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of Internet users more efficiently than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in contrast to conventional platforms which process the information in huge hunks, it handles everything in small bits. As an illustration, if a user has to fill a few fields on a site, Node.js processes the info from the first field the moment it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing power more effectively. In contrast, conventional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single user, but it truly does make a difference if a huge number of users are browsing a site at the very same time. Several instances of sites where Node.js can be used are online dinner reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. sites that need quick real-time interaction.

Node.js in Shared Web Hosting

You’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js with each shared web hosting plan offered by us, as the event-driven platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an active shared web hosting account with several clicks. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can pick how many instances you want to order. 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 need. A new section will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly after that and to start using Node.js, you’ll need to include the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to decide if the connection should pass through the shared IP address of the server or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also permit you to reboot or to switch off an instance and to see any given application’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to use the full capacity of Node.js with any application that you host on our cloud platform, since it’s available with each semi-dedicated server plan offered by us. You can indicate the number of instances, or applications which can use Node.js, from the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can manage your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you are expected to do after that will be to enter the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to pick the IP address that will be used to access that file. You can choose a dedicated IP address in case you have one, or any of the server’s shared IP addresses. Our system will also choose a random port number. With the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you are able to see the output of a given app or to start/reboot/stop any of the instances that you’ve created.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can make use of Node.js with any of the VPS hosting plans that we’re offering if you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can set it up with a few clicks of the mouse even if you don’t have any experience with a similar software platform, since Hepsia is exceptionally intuitive and simple to use. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to insert the path to the .js file that will use the 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 will be designated automatically as well. There won’t be any limitations on how many websites can use Node.js at once, so you can use our virtual machines for numerous sites and enjoy a terrific performance. Quick-access buttons in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section will allow you to start, to cancel or to restart any instance independently and to view their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to make use of the Node.js platform with your real-time, script-driven apps at no extra charge if you order one of our dedicated web hosting plans and select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section via a user-friendly interface, which will permit you to start/terminate/reboot any Node.js instance or to check the output of the application that uses it with just one mouse click. Even if you aren’t very tech-savvy, you will be able to use the Node.js platform, since all you’ll have to do to set it up is include the directory path to the .js file and choose the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated IP. A randomly generated port number will be selected automatically too and you’ll notice the advantages of using Node.js immediately. By combining the platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you’ll be able to use the full potential of your applications and to enjoy the best achievable performance.
