Node.js is an innovative event-driven platform, which is used to develop scalable applications. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of online users more efficiently than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that unlike traditional platforms that handle the information in huge hunks, it handles everything in little bits. As an illustration, in case a user needs to fill in several fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the info in the first field the second it is entered, utilizing the server’s processing resources more effectively. In comparison, conventional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single person, but it undoubtedly does make a difference if an enormous number of individuals are browsing a site all at once. Several examples of websites where Node.js can be used are dinner booking portals, chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, i.e. websites that need fast real-time interaction.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

All Linux cloud hosting that we’re offering come with Node.js and you will be able to add this advanced platform to your hosting account using the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can choose the number of instances for this particular upgrade, i.e. how many different platforms/sites will make use of Node.js at the same time, and you can add as many instances as you like. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to pick the precise path to your .js app and to select if you will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a random port chosen by our cloud hosting platform. On top of that, you can stop or restart any instance that you have activated, modify the location of the .js app or see the active instances’ output with just a few mouse clicks from your web hosting Control Panel using a quite intuitive interface.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform is included with all our semi-dedicated plans and you can enable it with just a couple of clicks. If you would like to use it for different websites, you can order more instances from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The setup is as easy as choosing the location of your .js file and choosing whether the platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared ones, so you can use Node.js even if you haven’t got any previous experience with such software. Our system will also set a random port number which will be used to access the .js file for the given application. Hepsia has a simple-to-use interface that will allow you to restart and to stop any of your existing instances, to create new ones or to check the output of your applications with just one click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

All VPS plans that are ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel offer Node.js by default and you can use the event-driven platform for any app that you host on the VPS. Since we haven’t set a limitation as to how many instances you can add, you can use the power of our servers and combine it with the full potential of Node.js. The configuration is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate, point-and-click graphical interface, so even if you aren’t technically proficient, you will not have to cope with any problems while using the Node.js platform. You will simply have to add the folder path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. Furthermore, our system will also assign a port to access the file and you’ll be able to find it in the corresponding Control Panel section. With only one click, you will be able to see the output of your apps and to shut down or to reboot any instance hosted on the VPS.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is available with all Linux dedicated web hosting plans on which our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a rather simple and easy-to-use graphical interface, so even if you have never worked with the Node.js platform before, you will be able to uncover its full potential in only a few simple steps. Once you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you’ll need to indicate the directory path to the given .js files that will use Node.js and to select the IP address which they’ll use (dedicated or shared), while our system will choose a random port number that will be used to access the files in question. There’s no constraint on the total number of Node.js instances that you can create and run at the same time and you will have total command over them through the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to add new ones or to terminate/restart existing ones, to check the output log for each app, and many others.
