Node.js is an advanced event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable applications. It is built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a web server and an immense number of Internet users much more efficiently than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in contrast to traditional platforms that handle the information in huge hunks, it processes everything in little bits. For instance, when a user has to fill a couple of fields on a website, Node.js handles the info from the first field as soon as it is inserted, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more efficiently. In contrast, traditional platforms 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 a single person, but it really does make a difference if an immense number of users are visiting a website at the very same time. A couple of examples of websites where Node.js can be used are online dinner reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, in other words sites that support fast real-time communication.

Node.js in Website Hosting

Since Node.js is available on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your web hosting account and to utilize it for any web app that you have, irrespective of which website hosting plan you have chosen during the order process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting accounts, will permit you to pick the number of instances that you wish to add – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes after that, you will be able to specify the path to the app, i.e. the location of the .js file in your shared web hosting account, as well as to choose the IP address to access that file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Control Panel, you will be able to reboot an instance or to disable it if you do not need it anymore. You will also be given access to the output code with just a single mouse click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting offer Node.js, so if you’d like to run any real-time application on our advanced cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to take advantage of the power that the system can offer you with just a couple of clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is upgradeable, so if you would like to use Node.js for multiple Internet sites, you will be able to select the number of available instances, one instance being one application. Through Hepsia’s easy-to-navigate graphical interface, you will have to add the path to the .js file for each instance and to choose if Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will set a random port to access your app and you will find it in the corresponding Control Panel section. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to see the output of each of your applications or to terminate/reboot each instance separately.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

You can run Node.js with any of the Linux VPS hosting that we offer if you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The platform will have its very own section where you can set it up with several clicks even if you’ve got no experience with such a software platform, since Hepsia is amazingly intuitive and user-friendly. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to specify the path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP. A random access port will be selected automatically too. There won’t be any limitations on the number of the Internet sites that can use Node.js at once, so you can use our virtual servers for lots of sites and enjoy a splendid overall performance. Quick-access menus in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to start, to terminate or to restart any Node.js instance separately and to see their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js comes with all dedicated web hosting on which our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a rather intuitive and easy-to-navigate graphical interface, so even if you haven’t used Node.js before, you will be able to unleash its full potential in just a few simple steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the app’s content, you’ll need to enter the path to the given .js files that will use Node.js and to pick the IP that they’ll use (dedicated or shared), while our system will allocate a random port number that will be used to access the files in question. There’s no restriction on the total number of instances that you can create and run at the same time and you’ll have complete command over them via the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to create new ones or to deactivate/restart existing ones, to see the output log for each application, and many others.
