Node.js is an event-driven runtime system, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It is used for scalable web applications that require real-time interaction between a web server and the worldwide web users and can significantly improve the overall performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP requests and responses and incessantly supplies tiny amounts of information. For instance, if a new user fills out a registration form, as soon as any information is entered in any of the boxes, it’s submitted to the server even if the remaining fields are not filled out and the user has not clicked any button, so the information is handled a lot faster. In comparison, other platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one huge chunk of information is then sent to the server. Irrespective of how tiny the difference in the information processing speed may be, circumstances change if the website expands and there’re a lot of individuals using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking portals, interactive browser video games or online chat software, for instance, and many companies, including LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already implemented it in their services.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

If you host a web application on our innovative cloud website hosting platform and you want to try Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your account irrespective of the shared hosting package that you are using. This can be done via the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to use Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You’ll be able to select the number of instances that you want to add to your account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can add the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose whether that file will be accessible via the server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated one. Our platform will also select a port number for the connection. You will be able to stop or to restart each instance separately, if it is needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform comes bundled with all our semi-dedicated server packages and you can add it with only a few clicks of the mouse. If you want to use it for different web sites, you can get more instances from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The setup is as simple as indicating the path to your .js file and selecting if the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared IPs, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you have no previous experience with similar software. Our system will also designate a randomly generated port that will be used to access the .js file for the given application. Hepsia has an easy-to-navigate interface that will permit you to reboot and to shut down any of your existing instances, to order new ones or to see your apps’ output with just a click.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

Node.js is available with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-managed Linux VPS hosting that we’re offering and you can activate it without having to deal with any problem, even if you haven’t used it before, as the Hepsia Control Panel offers a simple-to-navigate, point ‘n’ click GUI, which will allow you to do anything without efforts. The Node.js platform can be used for as many software applications as you need, so you can make the most of your web sites by combining the power of our VPSs with the performance that the Node.js platform provides. You’ll have to define the directory path to the .js file within your VPS account and to select whether it will use a dedicated IP address or your Virtual Private Server’s shared one and you will be all set. The file can be accessed using a port that our system will set randomly when you create a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will give you full control over all Node.js instances and, with just one click, you’ll be able to start, to terminate or to reboot them, as well as to see the output of each application that uses the platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js comes bundled with all dedicated web hosting on which our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter offers an incredibly intuitive and easy-to-use interface, so even if you have not used Node.js before, you’ll be able to unveil its true potential in just a few simple steps. Once you have uploaded the app’s content, you’ll have to insert the path to the specific .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to pick the IP address which they’ll use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will select a random port number that will be used to access these files. There isn’t any limit on the total number of instances that you can activate and run simultaneously and you’ll have complete command over them through the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to create new ones or to cancel/reboot existing ones, to check the output log for each application, and so on.
