Node.js is an event-driven runtime environment, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used for scalable web apps that need live communication between a server and the Internet users and can substantially boost the overall performance of any website that’s using it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP requests and responses and incessantly delivers little bits of info. For example, if a new user fills in a registration form, once any info is inserted in one of the fields, it’s submitted to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the information is handled a lot faster. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled out and one large chunk of information is then submitted to the server. Regardless of how small the difference in the information processing time may be, things change in case the Internet site expands and there are many users using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by online reservation portals, real-time browser-based video games or instant messaging systems, for example, and plenty of companies, among them Yahoo, eBay and LinkedIn, have already incorporated it into their services.

Node.js in Cloud Web Hosting

All cloud web hosting that we offer include Node.js and you are able to add this innovative platform to your shared hosting account via the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will be able to pick the amount of instances for this specific upgrade, i.e. how many separate platforms/websites will utilize Node.js simultaneously, and you can order as many instances as you like. Hepsia will also enable you to choose the exact location of your .js app and to select whether you will use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a randomly generated port specified by our cloud hosting platform. On top of that, you can stop or reboot any instance that you’ve created, change the location of the .js app or view the output of the active instances with only several clicks from your web hosting Control Panel via a truly user-friendly interface.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated servers come with Node.js, so if you’d like to run any real-time application on our innovative cloud platform, you can take full advantage of the power that the system can offer you with just a few clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. This feature is upgradeable, so if you want to use Node.js for different Internet sites, you will be able to select the amount of running instances, one instance being one app. Using the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate graphical interface, you will need to add the path to the .js file for each instance and to select if Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will specify a randomly generated port to access your application and you will find it in the corresponding Control Panel section. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to see the output of each of your apps or to deactivate/restart each instance independently.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can use Node.js with each of the VPS servers offered by us in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The platform will have its very own section where you can configure it with a few mouse clicks even if you’ve got no experience with similar software, since Hepsia is really intuitive and simple to work with. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to enter the directory path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your VPS’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port number will be set automatically as well. There won’t be any restrictions on how many sites can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our virtual servers for numerous websites and enjoy an astonishing performance. Quick-access menus in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to start, to remove or to restart any Node.js instance separately and to check their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to make use of the Node.js platform with your real-time, script-based web applications at no additional charge when you obtain one of our dedicated servers and choose the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section through a simple-to-use graphical interface, which will enable you to start/discontinue/restart any Node.js instance or to see the output of the application which uses it with only one click of the mouse. Even if you’re not very tech-savvy, you will be able to make use of the platform, as all you will have to do to set it up is add the path to the .js file and choose the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated one. A randomly generated port number will be allocated automatically too and you will see the advantages of using Node.js straight away. By mixing the platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to take advantage of the full capacity of your applications and to get the best achievable performance.
