Node.js is an innovative event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable web applications. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a web server and an immense number of users more effectively than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that unlike traditional platforms that handle the information in huge chunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For example, when a user has to fill out several fields on an Internet site, Node.js handles the information in the first field the second it’s entered, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more efficiently. In comparison, conventional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it indeed does make a difference if a huge number of people are visiting a site at the same time. A few examples of Internet sites where Node.js can be employed are dinner booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, in other words sites that support fast real-time communication.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

You’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js with every shared hosting package offered by us, as the event-driven platform is available on our cloud servers and can be added to an active web hosting account with a few mouse clicks. Once you log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can pick how many instances you’d like to order. One instance means that one single application will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your account as you like. A new menu will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel soon after that and to begin using Node.js, you will need to specify the path to the .js file that will use it and to select whether the connection should proceed through the shared IP of the physical server or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to restart or to delete an instance and to check the output of any given app.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated hosting plans include Node.js, so if you want to host any real-time app on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform, you’ll be able to take advantage of the power that the system can give you with only a few clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is upgradeable, so in case you wish to use Node.js for different Internet sites, you’ll be able to pick the number of active instances, one instance being one application. Through the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate interface, you will need to indicate the location of the .js file for each instance and to choose whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Our platform will select a random port to access your application and you’ll see it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. Hepsia will also allow you to check the output of each of your apps or to deactivate/reboot each instance independently.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can get Node.js with each of the VPS hosting plans offered by our company if you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its very own section where you can set it up with a few mouse clicks even if you have no experience with such software, since Hepsia is truly intuitive and simple to work with. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to specify the directory path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP. A random access port will be assigned automatically too. There won’t be any limitations on how many sites can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our Virtual Private Servers for numerous sites and enjoy a wonderful overall performance. Fast-access buttons in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to start, to remove or to restart any Node.js instance separately and to see their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is included with all dedicated servers on which our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter has a rather intuitive and easy-to-navigate GUI, so even if you’ve never worked with Node.js before, you’ll be able to take advantage of its true potential in just a couple of easy steps. As soon as you have uploaded the app’s content, you will have to specify the folder path to the particular .js files that will use Node.js and to select the IP address that they will use (shared or dedicated), while our system will specify a randomly generated port number that will be used to access the files in question. There is no limitation as to the total number of instances that you can activate and run simultaneously and you’ll exert complete command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to get new ones or to remove/reboot existing ones, to review the output log for each app, and many others.
