Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable web apps. It uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a server and a large number of online users much more efficiently than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in contrast to traditional systems that process the info in large chunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. As an illustration, if a user has to fill in a couple of fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the information from the first field the moment it is inserted, utilizing the server’s processing power more effectively. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single user, but it undoubtedly does make a difference when a large number of users are navigating a site at the same time. Several instances of websites where Node.js can be used are online dinner reservation portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, i.e. websites that need fast live interaction.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

If you host an Internet app on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform and you wish to try out Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your web hosting account irrespective of the cloud hosting plan that you are using. You can make this via the Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to use Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this service to the account. You can choose the number of instances that you’d like to add to your account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can type the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose if the file in question will be accessible via the physical server’s shared IP or via a dedicated IP. Our system will also specify a port for the connection. You will be able to disable or to restart each instance separately, in case it’s necessary.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based software app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform is included with all our semi-dedicated server hosting packages and you can add it with only several mouse clicks. If you would like to use it for several sites, you can activate more instances through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The activation is as simple as specifying the folder path to your .js file and selecting whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the physical server’s shared IPs, so you can make the most of Node.js even if you haven’t got any previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also set a randomly generated port number which will be used to access the .js file for the given application. Hepsia has a user-friendly graphical interface that will allow you to reboot and to shut down any of your existing instances, to order new ones or to check your applications’ output with just one click.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

All Linux VPS web hosting that are ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel offer Node.js as standard and you can use the platform for each script-powered web application that you run on the Virtual Private Server. Since we have not set any limitation as to the number of Node.js instances that you can create, you can take full advantage of the power of our Virtual Private Servers and mix it with the full potential of Node.js. The setup is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate, point ‘n’ click graphical interface, so even if you aren’t technically experienced, you won’t experience any difficulties while using the Node.js platform. You’ll only need to insert the folder path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. What’s more, our system will also select a port number to access the file and you’ll be able to see it in the corresponding section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With only one mouse click, you will be able to view the output of your applications and to remove or to restart any instance hosted on the server.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Node.js is offered with all Linux dedicated servers hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to make full use of this platform once your dedicated server is set up. Since the Hepsia Control Panel is pretty intuitive, you’ll be able to make that without any problem, even if you’ve never used Node.js before, as everything that you’ll have to do on your end is add the path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and the IP address that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other websites. You can run as many instances as you need on our really powerful servers and each of them can be controlled separately – you will be able to start, to reboot or to delete it, to view the output of the app that uses it, etc. This can be done through the user-friendly, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make the most of the power of Node.js without efforts.
