Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime environment built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It is used by scalable web apps that need live communication between a server and the online users and can tremendously improve the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and constantly provides little bits of information. For instance, in case a new user fills out a registration form, the second any info is entered in any of the fields, it is forwarded to the server even if the remaining fields are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the info is handled a whole lot faster. In contrast, traditional systems wait for the entire form to be filled and one large chunk of information is then delivered to the server. Irrespective of how small the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change if the Internet site grows bigger and there’re numerous users using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking sites, interactive browser video games or web-based chat platforms, for instance, and lots of companies, including LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already implemented it in their services.

Node.js in Web Hosting

All web hosting services offered by our company come with Node.js and you’ll be able to add this cutting-edge event-driven platform to your shared hosting account via the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to pick the number of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many different platforms/websites will use Node.js at once, and you can order as many instances as you wish. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to choose the exact path to your .js app and to decide if you will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a random port given by our cloud platform. In addition, you can stop or reboot any instance that you’ve created, change the path to the .js application or view the output of the running instances with only several clicks of the mouse from your hosting Control Panel using a really simple-to-use GUI.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can make use of all the benefits that the Node.js event-driven platform is offering, because it’s comes with all our packages and you are able to add it to your account with several clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated account management tool that’s included with every semi-dedicated server. In case you would like to employ Node.js for multiple Internet applications, you can select the amount of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this feature to your plan. Then, you’ll have to include the location of the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. You can do this in the new section that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel after you order the upgrade and during the process, you can also select whether the access path to the specific application should go through a dedicated IP – in case you’ve got one, or through the physical server’s shared IP. Each instance that you add can be restarted or removed separately and you can check your applications’ output with only several clicks.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

You can get Node.js with each of the Linux VPS web hosting services offered by us in case you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The platform will have its very own section where you can set it up with a few clicks even if you don’t have any experience with a similar software platform, as Hepsia is amazingly intuitive and easy to navigate. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to insert the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port will be selected automatically too. There won’t be any limitations on how many websites can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our VPS servers for a lot of websites and enjoy a great performance. Fast-access menus in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section will enable you to start, to stop or to restart any instance separately and to see their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Node.js comes with all Linux dedicated servers hosting on which our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a rather simple and user-friendly interface, so even if you have never used Node.js before, you’ll be able to uncover its full potential in just a few easy steps. Once you’ve uploaded the app’s content, you’ll need to indicate the folder path to the respective .js files that will use Node.js and to select the IP address that they will use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will set a randomly generated port that will be used to access these files. There’s no limit as to the total amount of instances that you can set up and use at the same time and you will exert complete control over them through the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to create new ones or to deactivate/reboot existing ones, to review the output log for each app, and so on.
