Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven system, which is used to build scalable applications. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a server and a large number of Internet users more effectively than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in contrast to traditional platforms which process the info in sizeable hunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For instance, in case a user has to fill several fields on a website, Node.js handles the info in the first field the moment it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing resources more efficiently. In comparison, conventional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the information from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single user, but it absolutely does make a difference when an enormous number of people are visiting a website at once. A couple of examples of Internet sites where Node.js can be used are online dinner booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, in other words websites that need quick live interaction.

Node.js in Web Hosting

When you host an Internet application on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform and you’d like to try out Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your account regardless of the web hosting plan that you use. This can be done through the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You will be able to choose how many instances you’d like to add to the account – one instance means one app 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 select whether that file will be reachable through the shared IP address of the server or via a dedicated one. Our platform will also designate a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to terminate or to reboot each instance separately, if it’s needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can make use of all the advantages that the Node.js platform has, as it’s is included with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and you are able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with several clicks from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel – the account administration tool that comes bundled with every semi-dedicated server. If you’d like to employ Node.js for multiple Internet applications, you can choose the number of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your semi-dedicated package. After that, you’ll have to specify the location of the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. You can do this in the new menu that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel after you add the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also choose whether the access path to the particular app will go through a dedicated IP address – in case you have one, or through the server’s shared IP. Each and every instance that you add can be restarted or terminated separately and you can view your applications’ output with only several clicks of the mouse.

You’ll need to specify the folder path to the .js file in your VPS account and to choose whether it will use a dedicated IP address or your virtual server’s shared one and you’ll be all set. The file can be accessed using a port that our system will allocate randomly when you activate a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will grant you complete control over all Node.js instances and, with just one click, you will be able to start, to deactivate or to reboot them, as well as to check the output of each application that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js is available with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you’ll be able to make the most of this event-driven platform as soon as your machine is assembled. As Hepsia is very simple to work with, you will be able to make that without coming across any difficulty, even if you have never worked with Node.js before, as everything that you will have to do on your end is specify the directory path to the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other Internet sites. You can run as many instances as you wish on our incredibly powerful dedicated servers and each of them can be controlled separately – you will be able to start, to reboot or to remove it, to check the output of the app that uses it, etc. This can be done through the simple-to-use, point & click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take full advantage of the power of the Node.js platform without efforts.
