Node.js is an open-source, event-driven environment built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable web apps that require live interaction between a server and the worldwide web users and can tremendously speed up the performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly supplies little bits of info. For example, if a new user fills in a registration form, the second any info is entered in one of the boxes, it’s delivered to the server even if the other boxes are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the info is handled much faster. In contrast, traditional systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one sizeable hunk of information is then forwarded to the server. Regardless of how small the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change if the site grows bigger and there are numerous users using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by online reservation portals, real-time browser video games or live chat systems, for example, and numerous corporations, among them eBay, LinkedIn and Yahoo, have already integrated it into their services.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting

You can make use of Node.js with each cloud website hosting package offered by us, since the event-driven platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an active account with a few mouse clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you will find Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can choose how many instances you’d like to get. One instance means that one single app will use Node.js and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your website hosting account as you like. A new menu will appear in the Control Panel soon after that and to begin using Node.js, you’ll need to enter the path to the .js file that will use it and to decide if the connection will proceed through the physical server’s shared IP or through a dedicated one. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to reboot or to turn off an instance and to check any given application’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server account from us, you’ll be able to take advantage of the full potential of Node.js with any web application that you host on our cloud hosting platform, since it is included with each and every semi-dedicated plan that we offer. You can specify the number of instances, or applications that can use Node.js, through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can manage your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you’ll need do after that will be to insert the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to pick the IP address that will be used to access that file. You can select a dedicated IP address in case you’ve got one, or any of the server’s shared IP addresses. Our system will also assign a randomly generated port number. With the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you’re able to see a given application’s output or to start/restart/discontinue any of the instances that you have activated.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can use Node.js with each of the VPS hosting plans that we are offering in case you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its very own section where you can configure it with a couple of clicks of the mouse even if you don’t have any experience with such software, as Hepsia is rather intuitive and simple to work with. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to insert the directory path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port will be assigned automatically too. There won’t be any constraints on the number of the sites that can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our virtual servers for a lot of websites and enjoy an amazing overall performance. Fast-access controls in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section will enable you to start, to terminate or to reboot any instance separately and to see their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-powered web apps at no additional cost when you obtain any of our dedicated web hosting plans and select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel through an easy-to-navigate GUI, which will permit you to start/stop/restart any instance or to check the output of the application which uses it with only one mouse click. Even if you’re not very experienced, you will be able to make use of the Node.js platform, since all you need to do to set it up is include the path to the .js file and choose the IP address that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared one. A randomly generated port number will be set automatically too and you will see the advantages of using Node.js instantly. By mixing the Node.js platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you’ll be able to make the most of the full capacity of your applications and to enjoy the best possible performance.
