Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable apps. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a server and a large number of Internet users much more effectively than any traditional system. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in contrast to traditional platforms that process the info in huge hunks, it processes everything in small bits. For instance, when a user has to fill out several fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the information in the first field the moment it’s entered, utilizing the server’s processing resources more efficiently. In comparison, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for one single user, but it certainly does make a difference when a huge number of individuals are using a website at once. A few examples of Internet sites where Node.js can be employed are dinner booking portals, chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, in other words sites that offer fast real-time communication.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

As Node.js is present on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your hosting account and to utilize it for any web-based application that you’ve got, regardless of which cloud hosting plan you’ve selected during the signup process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all hosting accounts, will allow you to select the number of instances that you want to run – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. Several minutes afterwards, you will be able to specify the path to the app, i.e. the location of the .js file in your shared hosting account, as well as to select the IP address to gain access to the file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can restart an instance or to shut it down in case you no longer want it. You will also be given access to the output code with just a single mouse click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can use all the benefits that the Node.js event-driven platform offers, due to the fact that it is available with all our packages and you can add it to your semi-dedicated account with several mouse clicks from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel – the account administration tool that comes with every semi-dedicated server. In case you want to employ Node.js for multiple web-based apps, you can choose the number of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this service to your semi-dedicated package. After that, you will have to include the location of the .js file in your account for each instance. You can do this in the new menu that will appear in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also select whether the path to the given app will go through a dedicated IP – if you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP address. Each instance that you add can be rebooted or terminated independently and you can view your apps’ output with just a few mouse clicks.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

All VPS hosting that are ordered with our custom Hepsia Control Panel include Node.js as standard and you can use the platform for each script-based app that you host on the VPS. Since we haven’t imposed any limit on how many Node.js instances you can create, you can use the power of our servers and mix it with the full potential of Node.js. The configuration is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate, point-and-click graphical interface, so even if you aren’t tech-savvy, you will not need to cope with any difficulties while working with the Node.js platform. You’ll just need to specify the directory path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. Furthermore, our system will also specify a port number to access this file and you will be able to see it in the corresponding section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With only one click, you will be able to see your apps’ output and to delete or to restart any Node.js instance running on the Virtual Private Server.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js is offered with all dedicated hosting services that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you will be able to take advantage of this platform once your server is set up. As the Hepsia Control Panel is pretty user-friendly, you will be able to make that without having to deal with any complications, even if you have not used Node.js before, as everything that you will need to do on your end is add the location of the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other sites. You can activate as many Node.js instances as you like on our stunningly powerful dedicated 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 using it, etc. You can do this through the user-friendly, point & click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make the most of the power of Node.js without effort.
