Node.js is an advanced event-driven platform, which is used to set up scalable applications. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and a large number of online users more effectively than any traditional system. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in difference between conventional systems that handle the information in huge hunks, it handles everything in small bits. As an illustration, in case a user needs to fill out a couple of fields on a site, Node.js handles the info in the first field once it is typed, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more effectively. In contrast, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it really does make a difference if a large number of individuals are navigating a site at the very same time. Several instances of websites where Node.js can be used are dining reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. websites that offer fast live interaction.

Node.js in Shared Website Hosting

If you host an Internet app on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform and you’d like to try Node.js, you will be able to add it to your hosting account irrespective of the shared website hosting plan that you’re using. This can be done through the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to use Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this feature to the account. You will be able to choose how many instances you wish to add to the account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can indicate the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose if the file in question will be accessible via the shared IP of the physical server or through a dedicated one. Our platform will also select a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to stop or to reboot each instance independently, in case it’s needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based software app running in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform is included with all our semi-dedicated plans and you can get it with just several mouse clicks. In case you wish to use it for multiple sites, you can get more instances through the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The setup is as simple as choosing the folder path to your .js file and choosing if the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the server’s shared ones, so you can take advantage of Node.js even if you don’t have any previous experience with similar software. Our system will also designate a randomly generated port which will be used to access the .js file associated with the specific app. Hepsia has an easy-to-use interface that will allow you to reboot and to remove any of your active instances, to activate new ones or to see your apps’ output with just one single click.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

All Linux VPS web hosting that are ordered with our custom Hepsia Control Panel come with Node.js as standard and you can use the event-driven platform for any script-based web application that you run on the Virtual Private Server.

The Node.js instances can be administered from the Node.js section of the Hepsia CP through a user-friendly GUI, which will allow you to start/deactivate/restart any instance or to view the output of the application which uses it with only one click. Even if you’re not very tech-savvy, you will be able to make use of the Node.js platform, as all you need to do to set it up is insert the folder path to the .js file and pick the IP that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared one. A randomly generated port number will be assigned automatically as well and you’ll see the advantages of running Node.js momentarily. By mixing Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you’ll be able to make use of the full capacity of your applications and to get the best conceivable performance.
