Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable web applications. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a server and an immense number of online users much more effectively than any other system. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in contrast to traditional platforms which process the info in large chunks, it processes everything in tiny bits. For instance, in case a user needs to fill a couple of fields on a website, Node.js processes the information in the first field the second it’s inserted, utilizing the server processing time 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 person, but it surely does make a difference when an immense number of users are visiting a site at the very same time. A few examples of websites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, in other words websites that need quick real-time interaction.

Node.js in Cloud Web Hosting

When you host a web application on our leading-edge cloud platform and you would like to try Node.js, you will be able to add it to your web hosting account irrespective of the cloud web hosting plan that you use. This can be done from the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this upgrade to the account. You can choose how many instances you want to add to the account – one instance means that one app will be using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can write the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose if the file in question will be accessible via the shared IP of the physical server or via a dedicated IP. Our system will also select a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to deactivate or to reboot each instance separately, in case it’s required.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can make use of all the benefits that the Node.js platform has, since it is available with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and you’re able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server management tool that is included with each semi-dedicated server. If you want to employ Node.js for multiple web apps, you can pick the amount of instances which the platform will use when you are adding this service to your package. Then, you’ll need to indicate the location of the .js file in your account for each instance. You can do this in the new section that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel after you order the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also choose whether the access path to the specific application should go through a dedicated IP – if you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP address. Each and every instance that you run can be restarted or removed separately and you can see the output of your apps with only several clicks of the mouse.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

You can get Node.js with each of the VPS hosting services that we offer if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. The platform will have its very own section where you can configure it with a couple of mouse clicks even if you’ve got no experience with such software, since Hepsia is rather intuitive and simple to navigate. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to include the folder path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP address. A randomly generated access port number will be designated automatically too. There won’t be any limits on the number of the sites that can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our VPS servers for multiple websites and enjoy a great overall performance. Quick-access menus in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will allow you to start, to shut down or to reboot any Node.js instance independently and to view their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js is included with all dedicated hosting services that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you’ll be able to make full use of this platform as soon as your server is assembled. As Hepsia is very user-friendly, you’ll be able to do that without coming across any problem, even if you’ve never worked with the Node.js platform before, since everything that you will need to do on your end is enter the folder 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 IP or can be shared with other websites. You can manage as many Node.js instances as you need on our exceptionally powerful servers and each instance can be managed separately – you will be able to start, to restart or to terminate it, to view the output of the application that uses it, etc. This can be done via the easy-to-use, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make use of the power of Node.js with ease.
