Node.js is an event-driven platform built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable apps that require real-time interaction between a server and the Internet users and can significantly boost the performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly provides small bits of information. For instance, in case a new user fills in a signup form, the second any information is entered in any of the fields, it is submitted to the server even if the remaining fields are not filled and the user has not clicked any button, so the info is processed a lot faster. In contrast, conventional platforms wait for the entire form to be filled and one large hunk of information is then delivered to the server. No matter how little the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change when the Internet site grows bigger and there are a lot of users using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking sites, interactive web browser-based video games or web-based chat platforms, for example, and many companies, including Yahoo, LinkedIn and eBay, have already included it in their services.

Node.js in Website Hosting

All website hosting that we are offering support Node.js and you’ll be able to add this cutting-edge event-driven platform to your account via the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia Control Panel. You can pick the amount of instances for this upgrade, in other words how many separate websites/platforms will utilize Node.js simultaneously, and you can add as many instances as you want. Hepsia will also allow you to select the precise path to your .js app and to select whether you’ll use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a randomly generated port designated by our cloud hosting system. Also, you can stop or restart any instance that you have created, modify the path to the .js app or check the active instances’ output with just several clicks from your web hosting Control Panel via a rather intuitive interface.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated servers offer Node.js, so in case you want to run any real-time application on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to make use of the power that the system can give you with only several mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The service is upgradeable, so if you would like to use Node.js for different web sites, you’ll be able to select the number of active instances, one instance being one application. Using the Hepsia Control Panel’s intuitive GUI, you’ll need to insert the location of the .js file for every instance and to select whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared IP. Our platform will allocate a random port number to access your application and you will find it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. Hepsia will also allow you to see the output of each of your applications or to delete/reboot each instance independently.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js comes with all dedicated servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you’ll be able to make use of this event-driven platform as soon as your physical machine is set up. As the Hepsia Control Panel is pretty simple to work with, you’ll be able to make that without experiencing any problem, even if you have never used Node.js before, since everything that you’ll have to do on your end is insert the folder path to the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other websites. You can manage as many instances as you want on our very powerful dedicated servers and each of them can be managed separately – you’ll be able to start, to restart or to terminate it, to see the output of the application that uses it, etc. This can be done via the simple-to-work-with, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can use the power of the Node.js platform without any effort.
