Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable web apps. It is built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and a large number of online users more efficiently than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in difference between traditional systems which handle the info in sizeable hunks, it handles everything in little bits. As an illustration, when a user needs to fill several fields on a website, Node.js handles the info from the first field the second it’s inserted, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In contrast, conventional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be negligible for one single user, but it truly does make a difference when an immense number of individuals are navigating a site at the very same time. Several examples of sites where Node.js can be used are dining reservation portals, chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. websites that offer fast real-time interaction.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

All shared hosting offered by us come with Node.js and you can add this innovative event-driven platform to your shared hosting account via the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You’ll be able to pick the number of instances for this specific upgrade, i.e. how many separate websites/platforms will use Node.js at once, and you can get as many instances as you need. Hepsia will also allow you to specify the exact location of your .js application and to decide whether you’ll use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a random port number set by our cloud platform. Also, you can stop or reboot any instance that you’ve created, modify the location of the .js application or check the output of the running instances with just a couple of clicks from your web hosting Control Panel via a quite user-friendly GUI.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can use all the advantages that the Node.js platform has, as it is available with all our semi-dedicated hosting packages and you are able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server administration tool that comes bundled with each and every semi-dedicated server. If you would like to use Node.js for different web apps, you can select the amount of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this service to your semi-dedicated package. After that, you’ll need to insert 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 Hepsia Control Panel after you add the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also choose whether the path to the specific app will go through a dedicated IP – if you’ve got one, or through the server’s shared IP. Each instance that you add can be restarted or deleted separately and you can check your apps’ output with just several mouse clicks.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js is available as standard with each VPS server that is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and imposes no limitations concerning the number of websites that can use it at any particular moment. This makes our Virtual Private Server packages an excellent solution for administering numerous real-time web-based applications and for getting the most out of them. Hepsia is user-friendly enough even for users with no previous experience, so if you’d like to set up Node.js for any application, it won’t take more than a few clicks of the mouse to make this. You’ll only have to specify the path to the .js file in question and to select if Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP or a dedicated IP. Our system will also designate a given port that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you’ll be all set and ready to use the full potential of your real-time applications. The Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to view the apps’ output and to reboot or to deactivate any of your instances using fast-access buttons.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to purchase one of our Linux dedicated servers for your script-powered software applications and if you select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page, you’ll be able to use Node.js at no additional charge, as the event-driven platform is included in our in-house developed Control Panel tool. As our servers are really powerful, you’ll enjoy stunning results even if you host a lot of Node.js instances at the same time. The setup takes several clicks and Hepsia’s graphical user interface will make it extremely easy for you to create a new Node.js instance even if you have little or no previous experience. Defining the path to the .js file 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 designated a port to access this file, you will be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you’ve created can be restarted or canceled separately and you will be granted with access to an elaborate output log for each of the applications that use the Node.js platform.
