Node.js is an innovative event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable web applications. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of online users more effectively than any conventional system. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that unlike traditional platforms that process the info in giant chunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. As an illustration, if a user has to fill out a couple of fields on an Internet site, Node.js handles the information in the first field once it is entered, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In contrast, other platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it truly does make a difference when an immense number of individuals are navigating a site all at once. A few examples of sites where Node.js can be employed are dinner reservation portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, in other words sites that offer fast real-time communication.

Node.js in Shared Website Hosting

You will be able to take advantage of Node.js with every shared website hosting package offered by us, as the platform is available on our cloud servers and can be added to an active shared web hosting account with several mouse clicks. After you sign into your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can choose the number of instances that you want to order. One instance means that one application will use the platform and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you need. A new menu will show up in the Control Panel soon afterwards and to start using Node.js, you’ll have to include the path to the .js file that will use it and to decide whether the connection should pass through the physical server’s shared IP or via a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to reboot or to shut down an instance and to check the output of any given application.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven application hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform comes with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you can activate it with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. If you want to use it for different sites, you can get more instances via the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The activation is as easy as choosing the folder path to your .js file and selecting whether the platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you haven’t got any previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also designate a randomly generated port number which will be used to access the .js file for the particular application. Hepsia has a simple-to-use graphical interface that will allow you to reboot and to stop any of your existing instances, to activate new ones or to view the output of your apps with just one click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

All Linux VPS servers that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel include Node.js as standard and you can take advantage of the platform for any web-based app that you run on the Virtual Private Server. As we haven’t set any limit as to the amount of Node.js instances that you can get, you can take advantage of the power of our virtual servers and combine it with the full potential of Node.js. The setup is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate, point-and-click GUI, so even if you are not technically experienced, you won’t have to cope with any obstacles while using the platform. You will just need to insert the path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. In addition, our system will also designate a port to access this file and you will be able to see it in the respective section in the Control Panel. With just one click, you can see your applications’ output and to stop or to restart any instance hosted on the Virtual Private Server.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js comes bundled with all dedicated service on which our custom Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter has a very simple and user-friendly GUI, so even if you haven’t worked with the Node.js platform before, you will be able to unleash its full potential in only a couple of simple steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you’ll need to include the folder path to the respective .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to pick the IP that they will use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will select a random port number that will be used to access these files. There isn’t any limit as to the total amount of Node.js instances that you can set up and use at the same time and you’ll have complete control over them via the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to get new ones or to remove/reboot existing ones, to check the output log for each application, and many others.
