Node.js is an event-driven runtime system built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used for scalable applications that require live interaction between a server and the Internet users and can substantially speed up the performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly provides little amounts of information. For example, if a new user fills out a subscription form, once any information is entered in any of the boxes, it’s delivered to the server even if the remaining boxes are not filled out and the user has not clicked on any button, so the info is processed much faster. In comparison, other systems wait for the entire form to be filled and one giant chunk of information is then forwarded to the server. No matter how little the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change if the site grows bigger and there are numerous people using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by booking websites, real-time browser video games or online chat platforms, for instance, and a lot of corporations, among them LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already integrated it into their services.

Node.js in Hosting

If you host an Internet app on our avant-garde cloud platform and you wish to try out Node.js, you will be able to add it to your web hosting account regardless of the hosting plan that you’re using. You can make this through the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this service to your account. You can choose the number of instances that you would like to add to the account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can type the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and select if the file in question will be reachable through the server’s shared IP or through a dedicated one. Our platform will also select a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to terminate or to reboot each instance separately, in case it is needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based software application hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, since the Node.js platform is available with all our semi-dedicated server hosting packages and you can set it up with only several clicks of the mouse. In case you wish to use it for multiple Internet sites, you can order more instances from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The activation is as simple as adding the location of your .js file and choosing whether the platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses, so you can use Node.js even if you haven’t got any previous experience with similar software. Our system will also set a randomly generated port number that will be used to access the .js file associated with the given app. Hepsia has a simple-to-navigate graphical interface that will permit you to restart and to shut down any of your running instances, to activate new ones or to see the output of your applications with just one single click.

Node.js in VPS

Node.js is included as standard with each virtual private server that comes with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and imposes no limitations with regard to the number of web sites that can use it at any particular time. This makes our VPS plans an optimal option for hosting numerous real-time script-based web apps and for making the most of them. Hepsia is intuitive enough even for individuals without any prior experience, so if you’d like to activate Node.js for any application, it won’t take more than a couple of mouse clicks to do it. You’ll just need to insert the location of the .js file in question and to select if Node.js will use the server’s shared IP or a dedicated IP. Our system will also designate a certain port number that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you’ll be all set and ready to use the full potential of your real-time applications. Hepsia will allow you to view the output of the apps and to reboot or to shut down any of your instances using quick-access controls.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-based web applications at no extra charge if you buy any of our dedicated hosting services and select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section through an easy-to-work-with interface, which will enable you to start/remove/restart any instance or to view the output of the application that uses it with only one click of the mouse. Even if you aren’t very tech-savvy, you will be able to use the platform, as all you will have to do to set it up is specify the folder path to the .js file and select the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a dedicated or a shared IP. A randomly generated port will be selected automatically too and you will notice the advantages of running Node.js immediately. By mixing Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you can make the most of the full capacity of your apps and to get the best achievable performance.
