Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable apps. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and an enormous number of users more efficiently than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in contrast to conventional platforms which handle the info in large chunks, it handles everything in little bits. As an illustration, if a user needs to fill in a couple of fields on a website, Node.js handles the info from the first field as soon as it is typed, utilizing the server’s processing power more effectively. In comparison, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it undoubtedly does make a difference if an immense number of individuals are visiting a site at once. Several instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be used are dining reservation portals, chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, i.e. websites that offer fast real-time communication.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting

All Linux cloud website hosting that we’re offering include Node.js and you’ll be able to add this innovative platform to your hosting account via the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can select the amount of instances for this particular upgrade, i.e. how many separate platforms/websites will make use of Node.js at the same time, and you can order as many instances as you need. The Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to set the location of your .js app and to select whether you will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a random port number given by our cloud hosting platform. What’s more, you can stop or reboot any instance that you have created, edit the path to the .js app or check the output of the running instances with just a couple of mouse clicks from your hosting Control Panel using an amazingly user-friendly graphical interface.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can use all the benefits that the Node.js event-driven platform has, as it is is included with all our plans and you’re able to add it to your account with several mouse clicks from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server management tool that is included with each semi-dedicated server. In case you wish to employ Node.js for multiple web apps, you can choose the amount of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this feature to your semi-dedicated plan. Then, you’ll need to add the path to the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. This can be done in the new section that will show up in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and during the process, you can also select whether the path to the given app should go through a dedicated IP address – in case you have one, or through the server’s shared IP. Each and every instance that you order can be restarted or shut down independently and you can view the output of your applications with just a couple of clicks.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can take advantage of Node.js with any of the Linux VPS service that we are offering in case you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can configure it with several clicks even if you have no experience with similar software, as Hepsia is really intuitive and user-friendly. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to indicate the directory path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port will be assigned automatically too. There won’t be any constraints on the number of the sites that can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our virtual servers for multiple websites and enjoy a magnificent performance. Quick-access buttons in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will allow you to start, to stop or to reboot any instance separately and to see their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to make use of one of our dedicated service for your script-based web applications and if you select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page, you will be able to use Node.js at no additional charge, since this event-driven platform is available in our custom tool. Since our servers are quite powerful, you will get excellent results even if you use plenty of Node.js instances at once. The setup requires a few clicks and Hepsia’s GUI will make it rather easy for you to create a new instance even if you have little or no previous experience. Specifying the .js file path and selecting a dedicated or a shared IP address will be everything that you’ll need to do yourself and as soon as our system has set a port to access that file, you’ll be all set. Any of the instances that you’ve activated can be restarted or discontinued independently and you’ll obtain access to an elaborate output log for each application that uses the Node.js platform.
