Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable web applications. It is built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a server and an immense number of online users more effectively than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that unlike conventional platforms which process the info in large chunks, it processes everything in small bits. For instance, in case a user needs to fill out a couple of fields on a website, Node.js processes the info in the first field once it is entered, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more effectively. In contrast, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single user, but it absolutely does make a difference if an enormous number of individuals are navigating a site at the very same time. A couple of instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be applied are online dinner reservation portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, in other words sites that need fast live interaction.

Node.js in Web Hosting

As Node.js is present on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared web hosting account and to utilize it for any web-based app that you have, regardless of which web hosting package you’ve picked during the registration process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting accounts, will permit you to select the number of instances that you want to get – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. Several minutes later, you’ll be able to add the path to the application, i.e. where the .js file will be located in your shared hosting account, as well as to select the IP address to receive access to that file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will show up in the Control Panel, you will be able to reboot an instance or to delete it if you don’t need it any longer. You will also gain access to the output code with only one mouse click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can make use of all the benefits that the Node.js event-driven platform offers, because it is is included with all our semi-dedicated packages and you can add it to your account with a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated account administration tool that’s included with every semi-dedicated server. In case you’d like to use Node.js for different Internet applications, you can choose the number of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this feature to your plan. Then, you will have to enter the location of the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will show up in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and during the process, you can also select whether the access path to the particular application will go through a dedicated IP – in case you’ve got one, or through the server’s shared IP address. Each and every instance that you run can be restarted or stopped separately and you can check your apps’ output with only several clicks.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can take advantage of Node.js with any of the VPS servers that we’re offering in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The platform will have its own section where you can set it up with several clicks of the mouse even if you have no experience with such a software platform, as Hepsia is truly intuitive and simple to navigate. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to insert the 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 IP or your VPS’s shared IP address. A randomly generated access port will be set automatically too. There won’t be any limit as to the number of the websites that can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our VPS servers for lots of sites and enjoy a terrific overall performance. Quick-access controls in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section will enable you to start, to discontinue or to restart any instance separately and to view their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is available with all Linux dedicated web hosting plans on which our custom Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a rather intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface, so even if you have not worked with the Node.js platform before, you will be able to unleash its full potential in only a couple of easy steps. Once you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you will need to insert the path to the respective .js files that will use Node.js and to pick the IP which they’ll use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will select a random port that will be used to access the files in question. There’s no restriction on the total amount of Node.js instances that you can set up and use at the same time and you’ll have total control over them via the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to activate new ones or to terminate/reboot existing ones, to view the output log for each app, and many others.
