Node.js is an advanced event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable Internet applications. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a server and a large number of online users more efficiently than any conventional system. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in contrast to traditional systems that handle the info in giant chunks, it processes everything in little bits. As an illustration, in case a user needs to fill a few fields on a website, Node.js processes the info from the first field once it is inserted, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In contrast, other platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it actually does make a difference when a huge number of individuals are using a website all at once. A couple of instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be used are dinner booking portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, in other words websites that need quick real-time interaction.

Node.js in Shared Website Hosting

When you host an Internet app on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform and you’d like to try out Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your hosting account irrespective of the shared website hosting package that you’re using. This can be done via the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to use Node.js in no more than a few minutes after you add this upgrade to the account. You can choose the number of instances that you would like to add to the account – one instance means one app using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can define the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose whether that file will be reachable via the server’s shared IP or via a dedicated IP. Our system will also select a port for the connection. You will be able to turn off or to reboot each instance independently, if it is required.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven web application running in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform is available with all our semi-dedicated server hosting packages and you can set it up with only a couple of clicks. In case you wish to use it for multiple websites, you can add more instances through the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The configuration is as simple as entering the path to your .js file and selecting if the platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses, so you can make use of Node.js even if you don’t have any previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also select a random port that will be used to access the .js file for the specific app. Hepsia has a simple-to-use graphical interface that will permit you to restart and to remove any of your running instances, to create new ones or to see the output of your apps with just one single click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can run Node.js with any of the VPS servers that we’re offering in case you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The platform will have its very own section where you can set it up with several clicks even if you do not have any experience with similar software, since Hepsia is truly intuitive and easy to navigate. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to indicate the folder path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your VPS’s shared IP. A random access port will be allocated automatically too. There won’t be any limit on the number of the Internet sites that can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our VPS servers for a lot of websites and enjoy an amazing overall performance. Fast-access controls in the Node.js section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to start, to remove or to restart any instance separately and to view their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js comes with all dedicated servers on which our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a very intuitive and user-friendly GUI, so even if you’ve never worked with the Node.js platform before, you will be able to unveil its full potential in only a few easy steps. As soon as you have uploaded the application’s content, you will need to enter the path to the respective .js files that will use Node.js and to pick the IP address which they’ll use (dedicated or shared), whereas our system will choose a randomly generated port number that will be used to access the files in question. There isn’t any constraint as to the total number of Node.js instances that you can enable and use at the same time and you’ll have total control over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to set up new ones or to discontinue/restart existing ones, to review the output log for each application, and many others.
