Node.js is an open-source, event-driven platform built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used by scalable web apps that require live interaction 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 process HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly provides small amounts of info. For example, if a new user fills a subscription form, once any information is entered in any of the boxes, it’s forwarded to the server even if the rest of the boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the information is processed a whole lot faster. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one huge chunk of information is then forwarded to the server. No matter how tiny the difference in the information processing speed may be, things change if the Internet site expands and there’re a lot of people using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by booking websites, interactive web browser games or live chat systems, for instance, and lots of corporations, among them eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already incorporated it into their services.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js with each cloud hosting package offered by our company, as the event-driven platform is available on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an active shared account with a couple of mouse clicks. When you sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can choose how many instances you would like to get. One instance means that one single app will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your account as you want. A new section will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel soon after that and to start using Node.js, you’ll have to specify the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose whether the connection should pass through the physical server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also allow you to reboot or to remove an instance and to see the output of any given application.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can use all the benefits that the Node.js event-driven platform offers, since it is is included with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and you are able to add it to your account with a few mouse clicks from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server management tool that comes with every semi-dedicated server. If you’d like to employ Node.js for different Internet apps, you can pick the number of instances which the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your semi-dedicated package. After that, you’ll have to insert the location of the .js file in your 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 select if the path to the given app will go through a dedicated IP address – in case you’ve got one, or through the server’s shared IP address. Each instance that you run can be restarted or terminated separately and you can view your applications’ output with only several clicks.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js comes bundled with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-equipped VPS hosting plans offered by us and you can activate it without having to cope with any difficulty, even if you have not worked with it beforehand, as Hepsia has an intuitive, point ‘n’ click interface, which will allow you to do anything with no effort. The Node.js platform can be used for as many script-powered apps as you like, so you can get the most out of your websites by combining the power of our virtual machines with the performance provided by Node.js. You have to indicate the location of the .js file within your account and to select whether it will use a dedicated IP or your server’s shared IP and you will be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port that our system will generate randomly when you add a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will grant you complete control over all Node.js instances and, with only one click, you’ll be able to start, to delete or to restart them, as well as to see the output of each application that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to use any of our dedicated web hosting plans for your script-powered apps and if you select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page, you will be able to make use of Node.js at no additional charge, since the platform is built into our in-house built tool. Since our servers are rather powerful, you will get stunning results even if you use numerous Node.js instances at the same time. The setup requires a couple of mouse clicks and Hepsia’s interface will make it pretty easy for you to activate a new instance even if you have little or no prior experience. Entering the path to the .js file and selecting a dedicated or a shared IP will be everything that you’ll need to do on your end and once our system has selected a port number to access the .js file, you will be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you’ve created can be restarted or discontinued independently and you’ll be granted with access to an in-depth output log for each of the applications that use the Node.js platform.
