Node.js is an event-driven environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable applications that need live interaction between a web server and the online users and can substantially boost the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and constantly provides tiny amounts of information. For instance, in case a new user fills a signup form, the moment any info is inserted in one of the fields, it is sent to the server even if the other boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the info is processed a lot faster. In contrast, conventional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled out and one sizeable hunk of information is then sent to the server. No matter how small the difference in the processing speed may be, things change if the website expands and there are numerous people using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used by booking portals, interactive web browser-based games or live chat programs, for example, and many corporations, among them eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already integrated it into their services.

Node.js in Shared Web Hosting

If you host a web application on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform and you would like to try out Node.js, you will be able to add it to your hosting account irrespective of the shared web hosting plan that you use. You can make this from the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to use Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this feature to the account. You’ll be able to select the number of instances that you wish to add to your account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can enter the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose whether that file will be reachable via the shared IP address of the physical server or via a dedicated one. Our platform will also designate a port number for the connection. You will be able to terminate or to restart each instance independently, if it’s required.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated services include Node.js, so if you wish to run any real-time app on our leading-edge cloud platform, you will be able to make use of the power that Node.js can give you with just a few clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The service is upgradeable, so in case you would like to use Node.js for different web sites, you will be able to select the amount of available instances, one instance being one app. Using Hepsia’s user-friendly GUI, you’ll need to specify the location of the .js file for every instance and to choose if Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared IP. Our cloud platform will select a randomly generated port number to access your application and you’ll find it in the corresponding Control Panel section. Hepsia will also allow you to check the output of each of your applications or to discontinue/reboot each instance separately.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

Node.js comes bundled with all Hepsia Control Panel-equipped Linux VPS web hosting offered by our company and you can set it up without any problem, even if you’ve never used it beforehand, because the Hepsia Control Panel has an easy-to-use, point-and-click graphical interface, which will allow you to do anything without effort. The Node.js platform can be used for as many Internet apps as you need, so you can get the most out of your sites by mixing the power of our virtual servers with the performance that Node.js offers. You will have to add the folder path to the .js file within your account and to select whether it will use a dedicated IP or your VPS server’s shared one and you’ll be all set. The file can be accessed using a port that our system will set randomly when you add a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will give you full control over all Node.js instances and, with only one click, you’ll be able to start, to remove or to reboot them, as well as to view the output of each app that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Node.js is included with all dedicated hosting services that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you’ll be able to make use of this event-driven platform once your dedicated machine is up and running. As Hepsia is very simple to work with, you’ll be able to do that without any problems, even if you have not used the Node.js platform before, since everything that you will need to do on your end is add the path to the .js file that will use the platform and the IP address that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other sites. You can create as many Node.js instances as you want on our stunningly powerful dedicated servers and each of them can be controlled separately – you will be able to start, to reboot or to delete it, to check the output of the app that uses it, etc. This can be done through the simple-to-work-with, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make use of the power of Node.js with no effort.
