Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven system, which is used to build scalable Internet apps. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and an enormous number of online users more effectively than any traditional system. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in difference between conventional systems that handle the info in giant chunks, it handles everything in small bits. For example, in case a user needs to fill in a couple of fields on a website, Node.js handles the information in the first field once it is inserted, utilizing the server’s processing power more effectively. In contrast, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it actually does make a difference when a huge number of individuals are navigating a website at once. Several instances of sites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner reservation portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, in other words sites that offer quick real-time interaction.

Node.js in Shared Web Hosting

When you host a web app on our advanced cloud hosting platform and you want to try Node.js, you will be able to add it to your account irrespective of the shared web hosting plan that you are using. You can make this from the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than a few minutes after you add this feature to your account. You’ll be able to choose the number of instances that you would like to add to your account – one instance means one app using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can include the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose whether that file will be reachable through the physical server’s shared IP or through a dedicated one. Our system will also assign a port number for the connection. You will be able to turn off or to reboot each instance independently, in case it is necessary.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can use all the advantages that the Node.js platform is offering, since it is is included with all our semi-dedicated plans and you are able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated account management tool that’s included with each semi-dedicated server. In case you’d like to use Node.js for different web-based applications, you can pick the number of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this service to your plan. After that, you will have to add the location of the .js file in your account for each instance. This can be done in the new section that will show up in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and during the process, you can also select if the path to the specific application will go through a dedicated IP – in case you’ve got one, or through the physical server’s shared IP address. Each and every instance that you order can be rebooted or discontinued separately and you can view the output of your apps with just several clicks of the mouse.

Node.js in VPS

Node.js comes bundled with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-managed Linux VPS that we offer and you can set it up without any complications, even if you haven’t worked with it before, because Hepsia has a simple-to-navigate, point & click GUI, which will permit you to do anything without any effort. The platform can be used for as many script-based software applications as you need, so you can get the most out of your web sites by mixing the power of our VPS servers with the performance offered by Node.js. You will need to specify the folder path to the .js file in your account and to choose if it will use a dedicated IP address or your virtual server’s shared IP and you will be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port that our system will assign randomly when you set up a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will grant you complete control over all Node.js instances and, with just one mouse click, you’ll be able to start, to discontinue or to reboot them, as well as to see the output of each application that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

If you decide to order any of our Linux dedicated hosting for your script-based web applications and if you select the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you’ll be able to make use of Node.js at no extra cost, as the platform is included in our custom-developed Control Panel tool. As our dedicated servers are astonishingly powerful, you will enjoy stunning results even if you host plenty of Node.js instances at the same time. The setup requires several clicks and Hepsia’s interface will make it quite easy for you to activate a new instance even if you have little or no prior experience. Inserting the .js file path and selecting a shared or a dedicated IP will be everything that you’ll have to do on your end and once our system has specified a port to access that file, you will be all set. Any of the instances that you have activated can be restarted or discontinued independently and you’ll be provided with access to a comprehensive output log for each of the applications that use Node.js.
