Node.js is an advanced event-driven system, which is used to set up scalable Internet apps. It is built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a server and an enormous number of users much more efficiently than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that unlike traditional platforms that handle the info in giant chunks, it processes everything in little bits. For instance, if a user has to fill out several fields on a site, Node.js handles the information in the first field once it’s inserted, utilizing the server processing time more efficiently. In comparison, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it actually does make a difference if a large number of people are visiting a website at the same time. A few examples of Internet sites where Node.js can be applied are dinner reservation portals, chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. websites that offer quick real-time communication.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

All Linux shared hosting that we offer support Node.js and you’re able to add this cutting-edge event-driven platform to your shared hosting account via the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to select the amount of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many separate websites/platforms will make use of Node.js at the same time, and you can activate as many instances as you like. Hepsia will also permit you to select the path to your .js app and to choose if you will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a randomly generated port set by our cloud hosting platform. In addition, you can stop or reboot any instance that you’ve activated, modify the path to the .js app or view the output of the running instances with just several clicks of the mouse from your web hosting Control Panel using an incredibly simple-to-navigate GUI.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered web app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform is offered with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you can activate it with only several clicks. If you wish to use it for multiple websites, you can add more instances via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The configuration is as simple as inserting the folder path to your .js file and selecting if Node.js should use a dedicated IP 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 assign a random port which will be used to access the .js file for the specific app. Hepsia has an intuitive graphical interface that will permit you to reboot and to terminate any of your running instances, to order new ones or to see your apps’ output with just one single click.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

You can take advantage of Node.js with any of the Linux VPS web hosting services that we’re offering if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its very own section where you can set it up with a few clicks of the mouse even if you do not have any experience with a similar software platform, as Hepsia is amazingly intuitive and easy to use. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to specify the folder path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP address. A random access port will be set automatically as well. There won’t be any limitations on how many websites can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our virtual machines for many websites and enjoy a terrific performance. Fast-access links in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to start, to stop or to reboot any Node.js instance separately and to see their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-based applications at no extra charge when you get one of our dedicated servers hosting and pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section via an easy-to-use graphical interface, which will permit you to start/remove/restart any Node.js instance or to view the output of the app that uses it with only one mouse click. Even if you aren’t very experienced, you will be able to use the Node.js platform, since all you’ll have to do to set it up is enter the folder path to the .js file and pick the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated IP. A randomly generated port will be allocated automatically too and you’ll see the advantages of running Node.js instantly. By combining Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you can take advantage of the full potential of your applications and to get the best achievable performance.
