Node.js is an advanced, open-source, event-driven, I/O platform built for websites which offer live interaction. A few examples of such websites would be online browser video game portals, online chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. Node.js handles the info sent between the site and its visitors in tiny bits, which improves the load speed and the overall performance of the website significantly. When a certain form with 3 boxes should be filled by a particular user, for instance, typically all three boxes should be filled out and the entire content is then submitted as one giant chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed the second it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second box. In this way, much more information can be handled a lot faster and more effectively in comparison with any other platform, which can exert a substantial effect on the overall performance of the website. Node.js is already being used by many of the largest IT corporations such as Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Hosting

You can use Node.js with each hosting package that we offer, since the platform is available on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an active shared account with a couple of clicks. After you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will find Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can pick how many instances you’d like to get. One instance means that one application will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you wish. A new section will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel soon after that and to begin using Node.js, you’ll have to specify the path to the .js file that will use it and to select whether the connection will go through the server’s shared IP or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to reboot or to deactivate an instance and to check any given app’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated packages support Node.js, so in case you wish to run any real-time application on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform, you will be able to take full advantage of the power that the system can give you with only a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is upgradeable, so in case you want to use Node.js for multiple web sites, you’ll be able to pick the number of running instances, one instance being one application. Through Hepsia’s easy-to-use interface, you’ll need to add the location of the .js file for every instance and to choose whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will designate a random port to access your application and you will see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to view the output of any of your apps or to cancel/restart each instance separately.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

All Linux VPS web hosting that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel include Node.js by default and you can use the platform for any script-powered application that you host on the Virtual Private Server. As we have not put any limit as to how many Node.js instances you can set up, you can make full use of the power of our virtual servers and combine it with the full capacity of Node.js. The configuration is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly, point-and-click GUI, so even if you’re not technically experienced, you won’t have to deal with any problems while working with the platform. You will only have to enter the directory path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. What’s more, our system will also specify a port number to access the file and you will be able to see it in the respective section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With only one click of the mouse, you will be able to check your applications’ output and to remove or to reboot any Node.js instance running on the server.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you decide to make use of one of our dedicated servers hosting packages for your script-based software applications and if you select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure, you’ll be able to use Node.js at no additional charge, as the platform is integrated into our custom-built Control Panel tool. As our dedicated servers are pretty powerful, you’ll enjoy great performance even if you run plenty of Node.js instances at the same time. The setup requires a few mouse clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s GUI will make it rather easy for you to activate a new Node.js instance even if you have little or no experience. Indicating the .js file path and selecting a shared or a dedicated IP will be everything that you will have to do yourself and once our system has selected a port number to access the .js file, you’ll be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you have created can be restarted or canceled separately and you will acquire access to a detailed output log for each app that uses Node.js.
