Node.js is an event-driven system, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used by scalable apps that need real-time communication between a web server and the online users and can noticeably speed up the performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly delivers tiny bits of information. For instance, if a new user fills in a subscription form, the second any information is inserted in one of the fields, it is submitted to the server even if the remaining fields are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the info is processed a whole lot faster. In comparison, traditional systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one sizeable chunk of information is then forwarded to the server. Regardless of how small the difference in the information processing time may be, things change if the website grows bigger and there are plenty of persons using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking portals, interactive browser-based games or online chats, for instance, and plenty of corporations, among them eBay, LinkedIn and Yahoo, have already integrated it into their services.

Node.js in Website Hosting

Since Node.js is available on our avant-garde cloud platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared hosting account and to use it for any web application that you have, irrespective of which website hosting plan you’ve chosen during the registration process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all web hosting accounts, will permit you to select the number of instances that you want to activate – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes afterwards, you will be able to specify the path to the application, in other words where the .js file will be located in your hosting account, as well as to choose the IP to acquire access to the file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will show up in the Control Panel, you will be able to reboot an instance or to deactivate it in case you don’t require it any longer. You will also get access to the output code with just a mouse click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can use all the advantages that the Node.js platform has, since it is comes with all our packages and you’re able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with several clicks from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the account management tool that comes with each semi-dedicated server. In case you wish to employ Node.js for multiple web applications, you can select the amount of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this service to your plan. After that, you will have to indicate the location of the .js file in your account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will appear in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and during the process, you can also choose whether the access path to the particular application should go through a dedicated IP – in case you’ve got one, or through the server’s shared IP address. Each instance that you run can be rebooted or terminated separately and you can check the output of your apps with only several clicks of the mouse.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

Node.js comes bundled with all Hepsia Control Panel-managed Linux VPS hosting services offered by our company and you can set it up without any problem, even if you have never worked with it beforehand, because the Hepsia Control Panel has a user-friendly, point ‘n’ click interface, which will allow you to do anything without efforts. The Node.js platform can be used for as many Internet apps as you wish, so you can get the most out of your Internet sites by mixing the power of our VPS servers with the performance provided by Node.js. You need to specify the directory path to the .js file in your VPS account and to choose if it will use a dedicated IP address or your virtual server’s shared one and you will be all set. The file can be accessed using a port number that our system will generate randomly when you activate a new Node.js instance. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you total control over all Node.js instances and, with only one mouse click, you’ll be able to start, to terminate or to restart them, as well as to view the output of each app that uses the platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js is included with all dedicated web hosting on which our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter has a pretty intuitive and easy-to-use GUI, so even if you have never used the Node.js platform before, you can unveil its full potential in just a couple of easy steps. Once you have uploaded the app’s content, you’ll need to insert the directory path to the particular .js files that will use Node.js and to select the IP that they will use (dedicated or shared), while our system will select a random port that will be used to access the files in question. There is no limit as to the total amount of instances that you can set up and use simultaneously and you’ll exert full command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to order new ones or to deactivate/restart existing ones, to revise the output log for each application, and many others.
