Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven system, which is used to create scalable apps. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a web server and a large number of Internet users more effectively than any traditional system. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in contrast to traditional platforms which handle the info in giant hunks, it processes everything in tiny bits. As an illustration, in case a user needs to fill a couple of fields on a site, Node.js processes the information from the first field as soon as it is typed, utilizing the server’s processing resources more efficiently. In contrast, conventional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single person, but it absolutely does make a difference if a large number of users are navigating a website at the very same time. A couple of examples of websites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner booking portals, chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. sites that need quick real-time communication.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

As Node.js is present on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your hosting account and to utilize it for any web application that you’ve got, irrespective of which shared hosting package you have picked during the signup process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all accounts, will permit you to pick the number of instances that you wish to order – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes later, you can include the path to the app, in other words where the .js file will be located in your account, as well as to choose the IP to receive access to the file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. In the new Node.js menu that will show up in the Control Panel, you will be able to restart an instance or to disable it if you do not want it any longer. You’ll also gain access to the output code with only a mouse click.

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 has, as it’s available with all our plans and you can add it to your semi-dedicated account with several mouse clicks from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated account administration tool that’s included with every semi-dedicated server. If you want to use Node.js for multiple Internet apps, you can pick the number of instances that the platform will use when you’re adding this feature to your plan. Then, you will have to insert the path to the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. You can do this in the new menu that will appear in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and during the process, you can also choose whether the access path to the specific app will go through a dedicated IP – in case you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP. Each instance that you order can be restarted or deleted separately and you can view your apps’ output with just several mouse clicks.

Node.js in VPS

All VPS that are ordered with our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel come with Node.js as standard and you can take advantage of the event-driven platform for any software application that you run on the Virtual Private Server. Since we have not set any limitation as to the amount of Node.js instances that you can make use of, you can make the most of the power of our virtual servers and mix it with the full capacity of the Node.js platform. The configuration is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate, point & click interface, so even if you’re not technically proficient, you won’t experience any problems while using the Node.js platform. You will simply have to insert the directory path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. In addition, our system will also assign a port to access the file and you’ll be able to see it in the corresponding section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With only one click of the mouse, you will be able to see the output of your applications and to delete or to reboot any Node.js instance hosted on the server.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

Node.js comes bundled with all dedicated servers hosting packages on which our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a pretty intuitive and easy-to-use interface, so even if you haven’t worked with the Node.js platform before, you can unveil its true potential in just a couple of simple steps. Once you’ve uploaded the app’s content, you’ll have to indicate the location of the given .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP address that they will use (shared or dedicated), while our system will designate a randomly generated port that will be used to access the files in question. There’s no limit on the total amount of instances that you can create and run at the same time and you will have total command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to add new ones or to discontinue/restart existing ones, to revise the output log for each app, and many others.
