Node.js is an open-source, event-driven environment built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used for scalable applications that require live interaction between a web server and the online users and can tremendously improve the performance of any Internet site that’s using it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and constantly supplies tiny amounts of information. For instance, if a new user fills in a subscription form, once any information is entered in one of the fields, it is sent to the server even if the remaining boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the info is handled a lot faster. In comparison, other platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one big chunk of information is then forwarded to the server. No matter how tiny the difference in the information processing time may be, circumstances change if the website grows bigger and there are many people using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used by online booking portals, real-time web browser games or instant messaging apps, for example, and lots of companies, including LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already incorporated it into their services.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

Since Node.js is available on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your account and to utilize it for any web-based app that you’ve got, regardless of which shared hosting package you’ve picked during the signup process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with all shared web hosting accounts, will allow you to choose the number of instances that you’d like to order – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes later, you can indicate the path to the app, i.e. the location of the .js file in your website hosting account, as well as to select the IP address to gain access to the file – a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Control Panel, you can reboot an instance or to deactivate it in case you do not want it anymore. You will also be provided with access to the output code with just a click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our semi-dedicated hosting offer Node.js, so if you wish to run any real-time application on our innovative cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to take full advantage of the power that the system can offer you with just a few clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. This feature is upgradeable, so if you wish to use Node.js for multiple Internet sites, you’ll be able to choose the number of available instances, one instance being one app. Through the Hepsia Control Panel’s intuitive graphical interface, you will need to include the path to the .js file for each instance and to select whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will specify a random port to access your application and you’ll see it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to check the output of any of your apps or to remove/reboot each instance independently.

Node.js in VPS

You can take advantage of Node.js with any of the Linux VPS services offered by our company if you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can configure it with several clicks even if you do not have any experience with a similar software platform, since Hepsia is very intuitive and easy to navigate. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to indicate the directory path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your VPS’s shared IP address. A random access port number will be selected automatically too. There won’t be any limits on the number of the websites that can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our VPS servers for multiple websites and enjoy a magnificent overall performance. Fast-access controls in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to start, to remove or to restart any instance separately and to check their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

Node.js comes with all Linux dedicated hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to take full advantage of the event-driven platform once your physical machine is set up. Since Hepsia is incredibly easy to use, you’ll be able to make that without any difficulties, even if you have not used the Node.js platform before, since everything that you’ll have to do on your end is insert the location of the .js file that will use the platform and the IP that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other Internet sites. You can set up as many Node.js instances as you wish on our stunningly powerful servers and each instance can be controlled independently – you will be able to start, to restart or to remove it, to view the output of the application using it, etc. You can do this via the intuitive, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make the most of the power of Node.js with no effort.
