Node.js is an event-driven environment built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It is used for scalable applications that need real-time interaction between a server and the worldwide web users and can noticeably accelerate the performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly provides little bits of info. For example, if a new user fills a subscription form, as soon as any info is entered in any of the boxes, it’s delivered to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user has not clicked on any button, so the info is processed much faster. In comparison, conventional systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one big hunk of information is then sent to the server. Irrespective of how tiny the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change in case the website expands and there’re a lot of individuals using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for online reservation portals, real-time browser games or online chat apps, for instance, and a lot of corporations, among them LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already incorporated it into their services.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js with every cloud website hosting package that we offer, as the event-driven platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an active shared web hosting account with a few clicks of the mouse. Once you sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can select the number of instances that you wish to run. One instance means that one application will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your website hosting account as you want. A new menu will show up in the Control Panel shortly afterwards and to start using Node.js, you will need to add the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to decide if the connection should pass through the shared IP address of the physical server or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to restart or to suspend an instance and to view the output of any given application.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server account through our company, you will be able to take advantage of the full potential of Node.js with any application that you host on our cloud platform, as it comes with each semi-dedicated package that we’re offering. You can specify the number of instances, or apps that can use Node.js, through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can manage your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you’re expected to do after that will be to enter the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to pick the IP address that will be used in order to access that file. You can choose a dedicated IP if you’ve got one, or any of the server’s shared IP addresses. Our system will also choose a randomly generated port. Using the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you’ll be able to see the output of a given application or to start/restart/discontinue any of the instances that you have activated.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

Node.js is included as standard with each virtual private server that is ordered with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and involves no constraints in regard to the number of sites that can use it at any given moment. This makes our Virtual Private Server packages an ideal option for running multiple real-time Internet apps and for taking full advantage of them. Hepsia is intuitive enough even for individuals with no previous experience, so if you would like to activate Node.js for any application, it will not take more than several clicks to do it. You’ll just need to include the folder path to the specific .js file and to select whether Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP address or a dedicated IP. Our system will also select a given port that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you will be all set and ready to make use of the full potential of your real-time applications. Hepsia will permit you to check the applications’ output and to reboot or to remove any of your instances using fast-access buttons.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Node.js is offered with all Linux dedicated servers hosting on which our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter offers an amazingly simple and user-friendly interface, so even if you have not worked with the Node.js platform before, you can unleash its true potential in just a few easy steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you’ll have to define the directory path to the specific .js files that will use Node.js and to select the IP address that they’ll use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will specify a randomly generated port that will be used to access these files. There is no restriction as to the total number of instances that you can set up and use simultaneously and you’ll exert complete command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to activate new ones or to delete/reboot existing ones, to see the output log for each app, etcetera.
