Node.js is an innovative, event-driven input/output platform intended for sites that offer real-time interaction. A few instances of such websites are online browser-based video game portals, live chat rooms or hotel booking portals. The platform processes the info transmitted between the Internet site and its visitors in tiny bits, which improves the loading speed and the performance of the website significantly. If a certain form with 3 boxes has to be filled by a specific user, for instance, normally all three boxes should be filled and the entire content is then forwarded as one sizeable hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed as soon as it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second one. Therefore, much more information can be handled a lot faster and more efficiently as opposed to any other system, which can exert a huge influence on the overall performance of the website. Node.js is already being used by some of the largest IT companies such as Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Shared Web Hosting

You’ll be able to make use of Node.js with each and every shared web hosting plan that we are offering, since the platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an existing web hosting account with a couple of clicks of the mouse. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you will see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can choose the number of instances that you wish to activate. One instance means that one application will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your website hosting account as you wish. A new menu will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly afterwards and to start using Node.js, you’ll need to enter the path to the .js file that will use it and to choose whether the connection should go through the server’s shared IP address or through a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to reboot or to discontinue an instance and to check the output of any given application.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you buy a semi-dedicated server package through us, you will be able to use the full capacity of Node.js with any web-based application that you host on our cloud hosting platform, as it’s available with each semi-dedicated server package that we’re offering. You can add the number of instances, or applications that can use Node.js, from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can administer your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you’re expected to do after that will be to define the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to choose the IP address that will be used in order to access this file. You can choose a dedicated IP if you’ve got one, or any of the physical server’s shared IPs. Our system will also choose a random port number. When you have the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you’ll be able to see a given app’s output or to start/reboot/cancel any of the instances that you’ve activated.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js is available with all Hepsia Control Panel-managed VPS plans offered by us and you can activate it without any predicaments, even if you have not worked with it before, because the Hepsia Control Panel offers an easy-to-use, point-and-click graphical interface, which will allow you to do anything without any efforts. The Node.js platform can be used for as many script-based web apps as you want, so you can get the most out of your Internet sites by combining the power of our Virtual Private Servers with the performance offered by Node.js. You have to specify the path to the .js file in your VPS account and to select if it will use a dedicated IP or your server’s shared one and you will be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port that our system will generate randomly when you add a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will give you total control over all instances and, with only one click of the mouse, you will be able to start, to deactivate or to reboot them, as well as to view the output of each application that uses the platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is offered with all dedicated web hosting plans on which our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a rather intuitive and easy-to-use GUI, so even if you have not worked with the Node.js platform before, you’ll be able to uncover its true potential in only a couple of simple steps. Once you have uploaded the application’s content, you will have to insert the location of the particular .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP which they will use (shared or dedicated), while our system will assign a randomly generated port that will be used to access the files in question. There isn’t any limitation as to the total amount of instances that you can create and run simultaneously and you will exert full command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to get new ones or to stop/reboot existing ones, to view the output log for each application, etcetera.
