Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable Internet apps. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of Internet users much more efficiently than any traditional system. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in difference between traditional systems that handle the information in huge chunks, it handles everything in little bits. For example, if a user needs to fill in several fields on an Internet site, Node.js handles the information from the first field the moment it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing resources more efficiently. 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 stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it truly does make a difference when an immense number of people are using a site at once. A couple of examples of sites where Node.js can be employed are dining reservation portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, in other words sites that support quick live communication.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

Since Node.js is available on our advanced cloud hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your shared hosting account and to utilize it for any web app that you’ve got, regardless of which cloud hosting plan you’ve picked during the signup process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all web hosting accounts, will allow you to pick the number of instances that you’d like to get – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. Several minutes after that, you can add the path to the application, i.e. where the .js file will be located in your hosting account, as well as to select the IP to obtain access to that file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Control Panel, you will be able to reboot an instance or to remove it in case you don’t want it anymore. You’ll also be provided with access to the output code with just one click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated packages come with Node.js, so if you wish to run any real-time application on our innovative cloud hosting platform, you can take advantage of the power that the system can offer you with just a couple of clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The service is upgradeable, so in case you’d like to use Node.js for multiple Internet sites, you’ll be able to select the number of available instances, one instance being one app. Using Hepsia’s easy-to-navigate GUI, you’ll have to insert the path to the .js file for each instance and to choose whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared IP. Our cloud platform will choose a randomly generated port number to access your app and you’ll find it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to check the output of any of your apps or to shut down/reboot each instance independently.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

Node.js is available with all Hepsia Control Panel-equipped Linux VPS hosting packages offered by our company and you can set it up without the need to deal with any difficulty, even if you’ve never used it beforehand, because Hepsia has a simple-to-use, point ‘n’ click interface, which will permit you to do anything without effort. The Node.js platform can be used for as many applications as you need, so you can make the most of your Internet sites by combining the power of our VPS servers with the performance that Node.js offers. You’ll have to add the location of the .js file within your account and to select if it will use a dedicated IP address or your virtual machine’s shared one and you’ll be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port number that our system will allocate randomly when you set up a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will grant you total control over all instances and, with just one click, you will be able to start, to delete or to restart them, as well as to check the output of each app that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js is included with all dedicated web hosting on which our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a pretty simple and user-friendly interface, so even if you have never used the Node.js platform before, you’ll be able to unleash its full potential in just a couple of easy steps. Once you’ve uploaded the app’s content, you’ll have to define the path to the specific .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP that they will use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will select a random port number that will be used to access the files in question. There is no restriction on the total amount of Node.js instances that you can activate and use at the same time and you’ll exert total command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to create new ones or to remove/reboot existing ones, to revise the output log for each application, and so on.
