Node.js is an innovative event-driven platform, which is used to develop scalable Internet apps. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and an enormous number of online users much more efficiently than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in contrast to traditional systems that process the information in giant chunks, it processes everything in little bits. For example, if a user needs to fill several fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the info from the first field the moment it’s typed, utilizing the server processing time more efficiently. In contrast, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single person, but it surely does make a difference if a huge number of individuals are navigating a site all at once. Several instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be applied are dining booking portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. sites that need fast live communication.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

If you host an Internet application on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform and you wish to try Node.js, you will be able to add it to your hosting account irrespective of the shared hosting package that you use. This can be done through the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to use Node.js in no more than a few minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You’ll be able to select how many instances you would like to add to the account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can insert the path to the .js file in your hosting account and select if the file in question will be accessible via the server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated one. Our system will also designate a port for the connection. You will be able to cancel or to restart each instance independently, if it is required.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered software app running in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform is offered with all our semi-dedicated plans and you can set it up with just several clicks of the mouse. If you’d like to use it for several websites, you can enable more instances via the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The setup is as easy as adding the folder path to your .js file and selecting whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared IPs, so you can take full advantage of Node.js even if you don’t have any previous experience with such software. Our system will also choose a random port that will be used to access the .js file for the specific application. Hepsia has an easy-to-use graphical interface that will permit you to restart and to delete any of your active instances, to activate new ones or to check your applications’ output with just a click.

Node.js in VPS

All Linux VPS that are ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel include Node.js by default and you can take full advantage of this event-driven platform for any Internet application that you host on the Virtual Private Server. Since we have not put any limitation as to the number of instances that you can make use of, you can take full advantage of the power of our VPS servers and mix it with the full capacity of Node.js. The setup is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s time and effort saving, point & click GUI, so even if you’re not tech-savvy, you will not have any obstacles while working with the platform. You’ll simply need to enter the 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. In addition, our system will also allocate a port to access this file and you will be able to find it in the respective section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With only one mouse click, you can view the output of your apps and to remove or to reboot any Node.js instance hosted on the VPS.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

Node.js comes with all dedicated hosting on which our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter has a very intuitive and user-friendly interface, so even if you have never worked with the Node.js platform before, you’ll be able to unveil its full potential in only a few simple steps. As soon as you have uploaded the application’s content, you will need to specify the path to the particular .js files that will use Node.js and to select the IP which they’ll use (shared or dedicated), while our system will assign a random port that will be used to access these files. There’s no constraint as to the total number of instances that you can activate and use simultaneously and you will exert total control over them through the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to activate new ones or to delete/restart existing ones, to view the output log for each app, and many others.
