Node.js is an event-driven runtime environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It is used by scalable web applications that need live interaction between a server and the worldwide web users and can considerably accelerate the overall performance of any website that’s using it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP requests and responses and incessantly delivers small bits of info. For instance, in case a new user fills out a signup form, the moment any info is inserted in one of the boxes, it’s forwarded to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the information is processed a lot faster. In contrast, other platforms wait for the entire form to be filled out and one large hunk of information is then submitted to the server. Irrespective of how tiny the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change when the Internet site expands and there are plenty of individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used by online booking portals, interactive web browser games or instant messaging apps, for instance, and a lot of corporations, among them Yahoo, LinkedIn and eBay, have already included it in their services.

Node.js in Web Hosting

You can take advantage of Node.js with each web hosting plan offered by us, since the event-driven platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing shared web hosting account with a few clicks of the mouse. After you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can select how many instances you’d like to activate. One instance means that one single application will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your account as you wish. A new section will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel soon afterwards and to start using Node.js, you’ll need to enter the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose if the connection should proceed through the server’s shared IP or via a dedicated one. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to reboot or to shut down an instance and to see any given application’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to use the full potential of Node.js with any web-based application that you host on our cloud platform, because it comes with each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we’re offering. You can specify the number of instances, or apps that can use Node.js, through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can manage your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you are expected to do after that will be to enter the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to choose the IP address that will be used in order to access this file. You can pick a dedicated IP address in case you’ve got one, or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses. Our system will also allocate a random port number. With the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you’ll be able to check the output of a given application or to start/reboot/delete any of the instances that you’ve created.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

You can take advantage of Node.js with each of the Linux VPS hosting services offered by our company in case you select Hepsia as your 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’ve got no experience with a similar software platform, since Hepsia is amazingly intuitive and simple to work with. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to add the folder 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 address. A random access port number will be assigned automatically as well. There won’t be any restrictions as to the number of the Internet sites that can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our virtual servers for a lot of sites and enjoy a great performance. Fast-access buttons in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will permit you to start, to cancel or to restart any Node.js instance independently and to view their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js comes bundled with all dedicated web hosting on which our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter has a very simple and user-friendly GUI, so even if you have not used Node.js before, you can unleash its true potential in only a few easy steps. Once you have uploaded the app’s content, you will need to specify the folder path to the given .js files that will use Node.js and to choose the IP which they will use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will allocate a random port number that will be used to access the files in question. There isn’t any limitation on the total amount of Node.js instances that you can set up and run simultaneously and you’ll exert full command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to add new ones or to cancel/restart existing ones, to revise the output log for each application, and so on.
