Node.js is an advanced event-driven system, which is used to build scalable apps. It uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a web server and a large number of online users more efficiently than any other platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that unlike conventional platforms that process the info in massive chunks, it handles everything in small bits. For example, when a user needs to fill out a few fields on a site, Node.js handles the info in the first field as soon as it is inserted, utilizing the server processing time more efficiently. In contrast, 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 person, but it certainly does make a difference if a large number of individuals are navigating a site all at once. Several examples of sites where Node.js can be employed are dinner booking portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, in other words sites that support fast real-time communication.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

You can use Node.js with every shared hosting package that we are offering, since the platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an existing hosting account with a few clicks. After you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can choose the number of instances that you’d like to get. One instance means that one single application will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you wish. A new menu will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly after that and to begin using Node.js, you’ll have to indicate the path to the .js file that will use it and to decide whether the connection should pass through the shared IP of the server or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to reboot or to stop an instance and to view any given app’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered software app running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform is available with all our plans and you can activate it with only a few clicks. If you want to use it for different web sites, you can get more instances from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The activation is as simple as entering the location of your .js file and choosing whether Node.js should use a dedicated IP or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses, so you can make the most of Node.js even if you do not have any previous experience with a similar software platform. Our system will also choose a random port that will be used to access the .js file for the given application. Hepsia has an intuitive graphical interface that will permit you to reboot and to deactivate any of your active instances, to add new ones or to check your apps’ output with just one click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js comes bundled with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-managed VPS servers that we are offering and you can configure it without encountering any problem, even if you have never worked with it beforehand, as Hepsia has an easy-to-use, point & click interface, which will permit you to do anything without effort. The Node.js platform can be used for as many script-powered software apps as you wish, so you can get the most out of your websites by combining the power of our virtual machines with the performance offered by Node.js. You will have to define the location of the .js file within your account and to select if it will use a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared one and you’ll be all set. The file can be accessed using a port that our system will set randomly when you set up a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will give you total control over all Node.js instances and, with only one click, you’ll be able to start, to delete or to reboot them, as well as to view the output of each application that uses the platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to get any of our dedicated servers for your script-based software applications and if you select the Hepsia Control Panel during the order process, you’ll be able to make use of Node.js at no extra charge, as this event-driven platform is incorporated into our custom-built tool. As our servers are very powerful, you’ll enjoy superb performance even if you make use of a lot of Node.js instances simultaneously. The configuration takes several mouse clicks and Hepsia’s interface will make it very easy for you to create a new Node.js instance even if you have little or no prior experience. Indicating the path to the .js file and choosing a shared or a dedicated IP address will be everything that you’ll need to do yourself and as soon as our system has set a port to access that file, you’ll be all set. Any of the instances that you have activated can be rebooted or shut down independently and you will be given access to an in-depth output log for each of the apps that use the Node.js platform.
