Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven platform, which is used to develop scalable applications. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a server and a huge number of online users much more effectively than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in contrast to conventional systems that process the info in massive hunks, it handles everything in small bits. For example, if a user needs to fill out several fields on a site, Node.js processes the information from the first field the second it is typed, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In contrast, conventional 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 one single person, but it undoubtedly does make a difference if an enormous number of individuals are visiting a site simultaneously. A couple of examples of websites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner reservation portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, in other words websites that offer fast live communication.

Node.js in Hosting

As Node.js is present on our avant-garde cloud platform, you will be able to add it to your shared hosting account and to utilize it for any web application that you’ve got, irrespective of which hosting package you’ve chosen upon signup. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts, will permit you to pick the number of instances that you’d like to use – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. Several minutes after that, you’ll be able to enter the path to the application, in other words where the .js file will be located in your shared web hosting account, as well as to select the IP address to gain access to that file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js section that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to restart an instance or to cancel it in case you do not require it any longer. You will also get access to the output code with only a mouse click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered web application running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform comes bundled with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you can get it with just several clicks of the mouse. In case you wish to use it for different Internet sites, you can create more instances via the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The setup is as easy as inserting the location of your .js file and selecting whether Node.js should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses, so you can take advantage of Node.js even if you lack previous experience with such software. Our system will also select a randomly generated port number which will be used to access the .js file for the particular app. Hepsia has a simple-to-navigate graphical interface that will allow you to restart and to remove any of your active instances, to add new ones or to check the output of your applications with just one click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can activate Node.js with each of the VPS hosting plans that we offer in case you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. The platform will have its very own section where you can set it up with a couple of mouse clicks even if you have no experience with such software, since Hepsia is amazingly intuitive and easy to use. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to indicate the folder path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your VPS’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port will be allocated automatically too. There won’t be any restrictions as to how many websites can use Node.js at once, so you can use our VPS servers for multiple websites and enjoy an excellent performance. Fast-access controls in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will allow you to start, to deactivate or to reboot any Node.js instance separately and to see their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is offered with all dedicated web hosting plans that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you will be able to take advantage of the platform once your physical machine is set up. As the Hepsia Control Panel is extremely simple to work with, you’ll be able to make that without the need to deal with any complications, even if you’ve never worked with the Node.js platform before, since everything that you will need to do on your end is insert the folder path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and the IP address that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other Internet sites. You can activate as many instances as you need on our powerful dedicated servers and each of them can be controlled separately – you’ll be able to start, to restart or to terminate it, to view the output of the application using it, etc. This can be done via the intuitive, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take full advantage of the power of the Node.js platform without effort.
