Node.js is an event-driven environment built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used for scalable applications that need live interaction between a server and the online users and can noticeably enhance the overall performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and constantly supplies tiny amounts of info. For example, in case a new user fills out a subscription form, once any information is inserted in any of the fields, it’s forwarded to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the info is processed much faster. In comparison, conventional systems wait for the whole form to be filled and one sizeable hunk of information is then forwarded to the server. No matter how little the difference in the information processing speed may be, circumstances change in case the site grows bigger and there’re many persons using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for online booking portals, real-time browser games or live chat software, for instance, and a lot of companies, including LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already implemented it in their services.

Node.js in Web Hosting

All Linux web hosting plans that we are offering include Node.js and you can add this advanced event-driven platform to your shared hosting account via the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will be able to select the amount of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many separate platforms/websites will utilize Node.js simultaneously, and you can add as many instances as you want. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to pick the exact location of your .js application and to select whether you will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a random port selected by our cloud hosting platform. In addition, you can stop or restart any instance that you’ve created, change the path to the .js app or check the output of the running instances with only several clicks from your hosting Control Panel via a very easy-to-navigate GUI.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated plans offer Node.js, so in case you wish to run any real-time application on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to make full use of the power that the system can give you with only a few clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia Control Panel. This service is upgradeable, so in case you would like to use Node.js for different web sites, you’ll be able to select the number of available instances, one instance being one app. Through Hepsia’s easy-to-use GUI, you’ll need to insert the path to the .js file for each instance and to choose if Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will set a randomly generated port number to access your application and you will see it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to view the output of any of your applications or to deactivate/restart each instance independently.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can use Node.js with each of the Linux VPS servers that we’re offering if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can configure it with a couple of clicks even if you don’t have any experience with such a software platform, as Hepsia is pretty intuitive and simple to navigate. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to specify the folder path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port number will be assigned automatically too. There won’t be any limit as to how many sites can use Node.js at once, so you can use our Virtual Private Servers for lots of websites and enjoy a wonderful overall performance. Fast-access menus in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will permit you to start, to delete or to reboot any instance independently and to view their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-based apps at no extra fee in case you obtain one of our dedicated servers and choose the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel via a simple-to-use GUI, which will allow you to start/terminate/reboot any instance or to see the output of the application that uses it with only one mouse click. Even if you aren’t very experienced, you will be able to use the Node.js platform, since all you will have to do to activate it is include the folder path to the .js file and choose the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated IP. A randomly generated port will be selected automatically too and you’ll see the benefits of using Node.js straight away. By mixing the Node.js platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you’ll be able to take advantage of the full capacity of your applications and to enjoy the best achievable performance.
