Node.js is a leading-edge, open-source, event-driven, non-blocking input/output platform devised for websites which offer interactive communication. Several instances of such websites would be web-based browser video game portals, live chat rooms or hotel reservation portals. Node.js handles the information sent between the Internet site and its visitors in small bits, which improves the load speed and the overall performance of the website significantly. If some form with three boxes is expected to be filled out by a specific user, for example, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled out and their entire content is then submitted as one giant chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed the second it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second one. Therefore, a lot more info can be handled a lot faster and more effectively compared to any other platform, which can exert an immense influence on the overall performance of the site. Node.js is already being employed by some of the top IT companies like Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Shared Website Hosting

As Node.js is present on our innovative cloud platform, you will be able to add it to your hosting account and to use it for any web-based app that you have, regardless of which shared website hosting plan you have selected at signup. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all web hosting accounts, will permit you to select the number of instances that you want to add – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. A few minutes after that, you will be able to define the path to the app, i.e. where the .js file will be located in your shared account, as well as to pick the IP to access the file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Control Panel, you can reboot an instance or to cancel it if you no longer require it. You’ll also be granted access to the output code with only a single mouse click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based application running in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform is offered with all our plans and you can set it up with only a couple of mouse clicks. If you’d like to use it for several web sites, you can order more instances via the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The setup is as simple as adding the path to your .js file and choosing whether the platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the physical server’s shared ones, so you can take advantage of Node.js even if you don’t have any previous experience with such software. Our system will also specify a random port which will be used to access the .js file for the particular app. Hepsia has a user-friendly graphical interface that will permit you to reboot and to deactivate any of your active instances, to add new ones or to see your apps’ output with just a click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js is available with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-managed VPS web hosting plans offered by our company and you can activate it without encountering any problem, even if you have not used it before, since Hepsia offers a simple-to-use, point-and-click interface, which will permit you to do anything with ease. The Node.js platform can be used for as many script-driven web applications as you like, so you can make the most of your sites by combining the power of our virtual machines with the performance offered by Node.js. You will need to add the folder path to the .js file within your account and to choose whether it will use a dedicated IP address or your virtual server’s shared IP and you’ll be all set. The file can be accessed using a port that our system will set randomly when you set up a new Node.js instance. The Hepsia Control Panel will grant you complete control over all instances and, with just one click of the mouse, you’ll be able to start, to stop or to reboot them, as well as to check the output of each application that uses the platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is offered with all dedicated servers on which our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter has an amazingly intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface, so even if you haven’t worked with Node.js before, you will be able to uncover its full potential in just a few easy steps. As soon as you have uploaded the app’s content, you’ll have to insert the location of the particular .js files that will use Node.js and to pick the IP that they will use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will allocate a random port number that will be used to access these files. There’s no constraint as to the total amount of instances that you can create and use simultaneously and you’ll have full control over them via the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to activate new ones or to stop/restart existing ones, to see the output log for each application, and many others.
