Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to set up scalable Internet apps. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and an immense number of online users much more efficiently than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that unlike conventional systems that handle the information in massive chunks, it handles everything in little bits. For instance, if a user needs to fill a few fields on an Internet site, Node.js handles the information from the first field as soon as it is inserted, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more efficiently. In contrast, conventional 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 insignificant for one single person, but it absolutely does make a difference if an enormous number of users are visiting a site at once. A couple of examples of sites where Node.js can be used are dining booking portals, chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. sites that support quick real-time interaction.

Node.js in Web Hosting

Since Node.js is available on our leading-edge cloud platform, you’ll be able to add it to your hosting account and to utilize it for any web-based app that you’ve got, irrespective of which web hosting package you have chosen during the signup process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared web hosting accounts, will permit you to choose the number of instances that you want to add – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes later, you will be able to define the path to the application, i.e. the location of the .js file in your shared account, as well as to choose the IP to get access to that file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js section that will appear in the Control Panel, you’ll be able to restart an instance or to delete it in case you don’t need it any longer. You will also acquire access to the output code with just one mouse click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you obtain a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will be able to use the full potential of Node.js with any Internet app that you host on our cloud web hosting platform, because it is included with each plan that we are offering. You can add the number of instances, or applications which can use Node.js, via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can control your account. The only things that you will need to do after that will be to specify the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to pick the IP that will be used in order to access that file. You can select a dedicated IP if you’ve got one, or any of the physical server’s shared IPs. Our platform will also set a random port. With the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you can view the output of a given application or to start/restart/cancel any of the instances that you’ve added.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

All Linux VPS hosting that are ordered with our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel include Node.js by default and you can use the event-driven platform for any script-powered software application that you host on the Virtual Private Server. As we haven’t put a restriction on the amount of instances that you can get, you can take full advantage of the power of our servers and combine it with the full potential of Node.js. The setup is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly, point & click graphical interface, so even if you’re not technically experienced, you won’t experience any difficulties while using the platform. You will only need to insert the 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. What’s more, our system will also allocate a port number to access the file and you’ll be able to find it in the corresponding Control Panel section. With just one click, you can check the output of your apps and to terminate or to restart any Node.js instance running on the Virtual Private Server.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you decide to purchase one of our dedicated web hosting for your script-powered web apps and if you pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure, you’ll be able to make use of Node.js at no extra charge, since this platform is integrated into our in-house developed Control Panel tool. As our dedicated servers are rather powerful, you will enjoy excellent performance even if you manage lots of Node.js instances at once. The setup takes a few clicks and Hepsia’s user interface will make it very easy for you to set up a new instance even if you’ve got little or no prior experience. Adding the .js file path and selecting a dedicated or a shared IP address will be everything that you will need to do on your end and once our system has assigned a port number to access that file, you’ll be all set. Any of the instances that you’ve created can be rebooted or discontinued independently and you’ll obtain access to an exhaustive output log for each application that uses the Node.js platform.
