Node.js is an event-driven system, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used by scalable applications that need live communication between a server and the online users and can tremendously accelerate the overall performance of any website that’s using it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly delivers small bits of info. For instance, in case a new user fills out a signup form, the moment any info is entered in any of the fields, it’s sent to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user has not clicked on any button, so the information is handled much faster. In comparison, other platforms wait for the entire form to be filled and one large chunk of information is then submitted to the server. Irrespective of how little the difference in the information processing time may be, circumstances change if the site grows bigger and there’re numerous people using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for online booking portals, real-time web browser-based games or instant messaging clients, for instance, and plenty of companies, including LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already incorporated it into their services.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

If you host an Internet app on our advanced cloud hosting platform and you wish to try out Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your hosting account irrespective of the cloud hosting plan that you’re using. This can be done through the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You will be able to choose how many instances you would like 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 include the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose if the file in question will be accessible via the server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated one. Our system will also designate a port for the connection. You will be able to terminate or to restart each instance independently, if it’s needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can make use of all the advantages that the Node.js event-driven platform offers, due to the fact that it is available with all our semi-dedicated packages and you are able to add it to your account with a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated account management tool that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server. In case you want to employ Node.js for different web applications, you can select the amount of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your plan. After that, you will have to include 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 in the meantime, you can also choose whether the path to the specific application will go through a dedicated IP address – in case you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP. Each and every instance that you order can be restarted or stopped independently and you can view your applications’ output with only several clicks.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

Node.js is available by default with each and every virtual private server that is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and imposes no limitations in regard to the number of sites that can use it at any particular moment. This makes our VPS plans a perfect choice for running different real-time web apps and for taking full advantage of each of them. Hepsia is intuitive enough even for individuals without any prior experience, so if you want to set up Node.js for any app, it will not take more than a few clicks of the mouse to do it. You’ll simply have to indicate the path to the specific .js file and to select if Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP or a dedicated IP. Our system will also choose a particular port number that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you’ll be all set and ready to use the full potential of your real-time applications. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to check the apps’ output and to restart or to discontinue any of your instances using fast-access controls.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js is offered with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages on which our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a rather simple and user-friendly graphical interface, so even if you haven’t used Node.js before, you will be able to uncover its true potential in just a couple of simple steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the app’s content, you’ll need to define the directory path to the given .js files that will use Node.js and to choose the IP address which they’ll use (shared or dedicated), while our system will select a random port that will be used to access these files. There isn’t any restriction as to the total amount of instances that you can set up and use simultaneously and you’ll exert complete control over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to activate new ones or to remove/reboot existing ones, to see the output log for each app, etcetera.
