Node.js is an event-driven platform, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used by scalable web applications that require real-time communication between a web server and the online users and can noticeably accelerate the performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and constantly provides little amounts of info. For instance, in case a new user fills a signup form, once any information is inserted in any of the fields, it is submitted to the server even if the rest of the boxes are not filled out and the user has not clicked any button, so the information is handled much faster. In contrast, traditional platforms wait for the entire form to be filled out and one large chunk of information is then sent to the server. Regardless of how tiny the difference in the processing time may be, things change in case the site grows bigger and there are a lot of people using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used by online booking portals, interactive browser video games or live chat applications, for instance, and many companies, among them Yahoo, LinkedIn and eBay, have already included it in their services.

Node.js in Website Hosting

As Node.js is available on our advanced cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your hosting account and to utilize it for any web-based app that you have, regardless of which website hosting package you have selected during the order process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared hosting accounts, will allow you to select the number of instances that you would like to get – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. Several minutes later, you will be able to add the path to the application, in other words where the .js file will be located in your shared account, as well as to pick the IP to receive access to the file – a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to reboot an instance or to cancel it if you don’t need it any longer. You’ll also be given access to the output code with only one click of the mouse.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our Linux semi-dedicated servers come with Node.js, so if you’d like to run any real-time app on our innovative cloud hosting platform, you will be able to take full advantage of the power that Node.js can give you with just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is upgradeable, so if you want to use Node.js for multiple websites, you will be able to choose the number of running instances, one instance being one application. Using the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate interface, you’ll have to add the location of the .js file for every instance and to choose whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Our platform will designate a random 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 enable you to check the output of any of your applications or to remove/reboot each instance separately.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js is available by default with each and every VPS server that is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and imposes no constraints with regard to the number of Internet sites that can use it at any particular moment. This makes our VPS plans an ideal option for setting up multiple real-time web-based applications and for making the most of each of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is user-friendly enough even for individuals without any previous experience, so if you would like to set up Node.js for any application, it won’t take more than several mouse clicks to make this. You’ll simply have to specify the folder path to the .js file in question and to select whether Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP or a dedicated one. Our system will also select a particular port that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you will be all set and will be able to use the full potential of your real-time apps. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to view the output of the apps and to reboot or to shut down any of your instances using quick-access controls.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to make use of any of our dedicated web hosting plans for your script-powered software apps and if you pick the Hepsia Control Panel during the order procedure, you’ll be able to make use of Node.js at no additional cost, as the event-driven platform is integrated into our custom Control Panel tool. Since our servers are astonishingly powerful, you’ll enjoy stunning performance even if you run a lot of Node.js instances simultaneously. The setup requires several clicks of the mouse and the Hepsia Control Panel’s interface will make it pretty easy for you to activate a new instance even if you’ve got little or no previous experience. Inserting the path to the .js file and selecting a dedicated or a shared IP will be everything that you will need to do on your end and once our system has chosen a port to access that file, you will be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you’ve activated can be rebooted or terminated independently and you’ll be granted with access to a comprehensive output log for each of the apps that use Node.js.
