Node.js is an advanced event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable web apps. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a web server and a large number of Internet users much more efficiently than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that unlike traditional systems which process the information in massive hunks, it handles everything in little bits. For example, in case a user has to fill out a couple of fields on a site, Node.js processes the info in the first field the moment it is entered, utilizing the server’s processing power more effectively. In comparison, conventional platforms 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 a single user, but it indeed does make a difference if a huge number of users are browsing a site at the same time. A couple of instances of sites where Node.js can be applied are dinner booking portals, chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. websites that need quick real-time interaction.

Node.js in Hosting

All Linux hosting service that we offer come with Node.js and you’ll be able to add this advanced event-driven platform to your shared web hosting account via the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can pick the number of instances for this particular upgrade, in other words how many separate platforms/websites will make use of Node.js at once, and you can get as many instances as you want. Hepsia will also enable you to pick the location of your .js app and to choose if you will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a randomly generated port given by our cloud system. Furthermore, you can stop or reboot any instance that you’ve added, edit the path to the .js app or check the active instances’ output with just a few mouse clicks from your web hosting Control Panel via an extremely easy-to-navigate graphical interface.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you acquire a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you’ll be able to use the full potential of Node.js with any web app that you host on our cloud web hosting platform, due to the fact that it’s available with each and every plan offered by us. You can indicate the number of instances, or apps that can use Node.js, via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can administer your account. 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 pick the IP that will be used in order to access that file. You can select a dedicated IP address if you’ve got one, or any of the server’s shared IP addresses. Our platform will also allocate a random port. Using the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you’re able to check a given app’s output or to start/reboot/shut down any of the instances that you have added.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can take advantage of Node.js with any of the Linux VPS servers that we offer 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 mouse clicks even if you don’t have any experience with similar software, since Hepsia is rather intuitive and easy to navigate. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to add the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP address. A randomly generated access port number will be assigned automatically as well. There won’t be any constraints as to how many Internet sites can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our virtual machines for plenty of websites and enjoy an astonishing overall performance. Quick-access links in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section will enable you to start, to stop or to reboot any Node.js instance separately and to view their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is available with all dedicated servers that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you will be able to make the most of this event-driven platform as soon as your physical server is set up. Since Hepsia is very easy to use, you’ll be able to do that without experiencing any obstacles, even if you have never worked with the Node.js platform before, as everything that you’ll have to do on your end is enter the location of the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP address that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other sites. You can manage as many Node.js instances as you want on our super-powerful servers and each of them can be managed independently – you will be able to start, to restart or to terminate it, to view the output of the application that uses it, etc. You can do this via the easy-to-use, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take full advantage of the power of Node.js without efforts.
