Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable web applications. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a server and an enormous number of Internet users more effectively than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in difference between traditional platforms which handle the information in sizeable hunks, it processes everything in little bits. For instance, when a user needs to fill out a few fields on a website, Node.js processes the information from the first field as soon as it is typed, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more efficiently. In comparison, conventional platforms 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 indeed does make a difference when a huge number of people are navigating a website all at once. A few instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be used are dining reservation portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. websites that need quick real-time communication.

Node.js in Shared Web Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js with each shared web hosting plan that we are offering, as the event-driven platform is available on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing account with a couple of mouse clicks. Once you sign in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can select the number of instances that you would like to run. One instance means that one single application will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your hosting account as you need. A new section will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel soon afterwards and to start using Node.js, you will have to define the path to the .js file that will use it and to select if the connection will proceed through the physical server’s shared IP or via a dedicated one. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to reboot or to delete an instance and to check any given app’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can make use of all the benefits that the Node.js platform is offering, because it’s comes with all our plans and you are able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with a couple of clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server administration tool that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server. In case you want to employ Node.js for different web-based apps, you can choose the amount of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your package. After that, you’ll need to specify the location of the .js file in your account for each instance. You can do this in the new section that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel after you order the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also choose whether the access path to the specific app will go through a dedicated IP address – in case you have one, or through the server’s shared IP address. Each and every instance that you order can be rebooted or stopped separately and you can view your applications’ output with just several clicks of the mouse.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

You can get Node.js with any of the Linux VPS hosting offered by us if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its very own section where you can configure it with a couple of clicks even if you’ve got no experience with similar software, since Hepsia is very intuitive and easy to navigate. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to insert the directory path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your VPS’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port will be set automatically as well. There won’t be any limits as to how many Internet sites can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our VPS servers for a lot of sites and enjoy a splendid performance. Fast-access links in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will permit you to start, to delete or to restart any Node.js instance independently and to view their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js is included with all Linux dedicated web hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you will be able to make the most of the platform once your server is up and running. Since Hepsia is very easy to use, you’ll be able to make that without having to deal with any difficulty, even if you have never used the Node.js platform before, since everything that you will have to do on your end is define the location of the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other web sites. You can set up as many Node.js instances as you need on our super-powerful machines and each instance can be controlled separately – you will be able to start, to restart or to cancel it, to check the output of the application using it, etc. This can be done via the simple-to-use, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take advantage of the power of the Node.js platform without efforts.
