Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable apps that need live communication between a web server and the worldwide web users and can considerably boost the overall performance of any website that’s using it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly supplies tiny amounts of information. For instance, if a new user fills a subscription form, once any info is inserted in any of the fields, it is submitted to the server even if the other fields are not filled and the user has not clicked on any button, so the information is handled much faster. In comparison, other platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one big hunk of information is then forwarded to the server. No matter how tiny the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change when the Internet site expands and there are many individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for online reservation portals, interactive browser video games or live chat platforms, for example, and many companies, among them eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already implemented it in their services.

Node.js in Hosting

You’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js with every hosting plan offered by our company, as the event-driven platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an active shared hosting account with a few mouse clicks. After you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can select the number of instances that you’d like to run. One instance means that one app will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your hosting account as you want. A new section will appear in the Control Panel shortly afterwards and to begin using Node.js, you will have to add the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select if the connection will proceed through the shared IP of the physical server or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also permit you to restart or to shut down an instance and to check any given app’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based application hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform is offered with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you can enable it with only several clicks. In case you would like to use it for multiple web sites, you can create more instances through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The activation is as easy as specifying the location of your .js file and choosing whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses, so you can make use of Node.js even if you’ve got no previous experience with similar software. Our system will also specify a randomly generated port which will be used to access the .js file associated with the specific app. Hepsia has an easy-to-navigate GUI that will allow you to restart and to cancel any of your active instances, to activate new ones or to see your applications’ output with just one single click.

Node.js in VPS

You can activate Node.js with each of the VPS offered by our company if you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. The platform will have its very own section where you can configure it with a couple of clicks even if you have no experience with such software, as Hepsia is extremely intuitive and easy to navigate. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to enter the folder path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your VPS’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port will be designated automatically too. There won’t be any limitations on the number of the sites that can use Node.js at once, so you can use our VPS servers for plenty of sites and enjoy a marvelous performance. Fast-access controls in the Node.js section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to start, to delete or to reboot any instance independently and to check their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

Node.js comes with all dedicated servers hosting packages on which our custom Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a rather intuitive and user-friendly GUI, so even if you’ve never worked with the Node.js platform before, you can take advantage of its full potential in only a few simple steps. Once you have uploaded the app’s content, you’ll have to enter the directory path to the specific .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP that they’ll use (dedicated or shared), whereas our system will allocate a random port that will be used to access these files. There’s no restriction on the total number of Node.js instances that you can enable and run at the same time and you will exert full control over them via the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to create new ones or to cancel/restart existing ones, to view the output log for each application, and so on.
