Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable web apps. It is 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 which process the information in massive hunks, it processes everything in small bits. For instance, in case a user needs to fill out several fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the info in the first field the second it is typed, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more effectively. 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 remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it indeed does make a difference if a huge number of users are using a website at the same time. Several examples of sites where Node.js can be used are dinner booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, in other words websites that need quick real-time interaction.

Node.js in Cloud Web Hosting

When you host an Internet application on our leading-edge cloud platform and you would like to try Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your account irrespective of the cloud web hosting package that you use. You can make this through the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to use Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this upgrade to the account. You will be able to choose the number of instances that you want to add to the account – one instance means that one application will be using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can specify the path to the .js file in your hosting account and select whether that file will be reachable via the server’s shared IP address or through a dedicated one. Our system will also select a port for the connection. You’ll be able to switch off or to reboot each instance separately, if required.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven web app running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform is included with all our packages and you can activate it with only a few clicks. In case you want to use it for several web sites, you can get more instances from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The setup is as simple as including the path to your .js file and choosing whether the platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the server’s shared IPs, so you can make use of Node.js even if you’ve got no previous experience with a similar software platform. 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 an easy to work with graphical interface that will allow you to reboot and to stop any of your existing instances, to add new ones or to see the output of your applications with just a click.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

You can take advantage of Node.js with each of the Linux VPS web hosting packages that we offer in case you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its very own section where you can configure it with several clicks of the mouse even if you have no experience with such software, as Hepsia is quite intuitive and simple to navigate. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to indicate the directory path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP address. A random access port number will be set automatically as well. There won’t be any limits as to the number of the websites that can use Node.js at once, so you can use our Virtual Private Servers for lots of websites and enjoy a wonderful overall performance. Fast-access menus in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section will permit you to start, to stop or to restart any Node.js instance separately and to check their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you decide to buy one of our dedicated servers hosting for your script-powered software apps and if you pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure, you will be able to use Node.js at no additional charge, as this platform is incorporated into our custom-developed tool. As our servers are quite powerful, you will enjoy superb performance even if you host numerous Node.js instances at once. The setup takes several mouse clicks and Hepsia’s interface will make it incredibly easy for you to set up a new Node.js instance even if you have little or no previous experience. Defining the .js file path and choosing a dedicated or a shared IP address will be everything that you will need to do yourself and once our system has designated a port number to access that file, you’ll be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you have created can be rebooted or deleted separately and you’ll acquire access to a detailed output log for each of the apps that use the Node.js platform.
