Node.js is an innovative, open-source, event-driven, asynchronous I/O system designed for Internet sites that offer live interaction. A few instances of such websites would be online browser game portals, web-based chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. The platform processes the info sent between the Internet site and its visitors in small bits, which boosts the speed and the overall performance of the site considerably. If a certain form with 3 boxes has to be filled by a user, for instance, normally all three boxes should be filled and the whole content is then delivered as one big hunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed the moment it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second one. Therefore, much more info can be handled a lot faster and more efficiently in comparison with any traditional platform, which can have a substantial effect on the website’s overall performance. Node.js is already being used by some of the largest IT corporations like Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Hosting

As Node.js is present on our advanced cloud platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared hosting account and to utilize it for any web-based app that you’ve got, irrespective of which hosting plan you’ve selected upon registration. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting accounts, will permit you to pick the number of instances that you’d like to have – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. Several minutes afterwards, you can specify the path to the app, i.e. where the .js file will be located in your shared website hosting account, as well as to choose the IP to access that file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will show up in the Control Panel, you’ll be able to restart an instance or to delete it if you no longer require it. You’ll also receive access to the output code with just one click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered web app running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform is included with all our semi-dedicated server packages and you can order it with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. If you wish to use it for several sites, you can order more instances from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The setup is as simple as choosing the folder path to your .js file and selecting if Node.js should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared ones, so you can use Node.js even if you haven’t got any previous experience with a similar software platform. Our system will also designate a random port which will be used to access the .js file associated with the specific application. Hepsia has a simple-to-use graphical interface that will permit you to reboot and to deactivate any of your existing instances, to order new ones or to view the output of your applications with just one click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js is offered as standard with each and every VPS server that is ordered with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and involves no limitations with regard to the number of Internet sites that can use it at any given time. This makes our Virtual Private Server plans an excellent option for building different real-time apps and for making the most of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is user-friendly enough even for people without any previous experience, so if you would like to enable Node.js for any application, it won’t take more than several mouse clicks to make this. You’ll simply need to specify the location of the given .js file and to select whether Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP address or a dedicated IP. Our platform will also allocate a certain port that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you’ll be all set and will be able to make use of the full potential of your real-time apps. Hepsia will allow you to see the applications’ output and to restart or to cancel any of your instances using fast-access controls.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is offered with all Linux dedicated service that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to make full use of the platform once your physical machine is up and running. Since Hepsia is extremely easy to work with, you’ll be able to make that without experiencing any difficulty, even if you have never used Node.js before, since everything that you will need to do on your end is enter the folder path to the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP address that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other Internet sites. You can create as many instances as you wish on our very powerful servers and each instance can be controlled separately – you’ll be able to start, to restart or to delete it, to see the output of the app using it, etc. You can do this through the intuitive, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can use the power of Node.js without effort.
