Node.js is an innovative event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable apps. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a server and an immense number of users more effectively than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that unlike conventional platforms which handle the info in massive chunks, it handles everything in little bits. For instance, if a user needs to fill several fields on an Internet site, Node.js handles the information from the first field the moment it’s entered, utilizing the server processing time more efficiently. In contrast, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single person, but it truly does make a difference if a large number of individuals are browsing a website at the same time. A couple of examples of Internet sites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner booking portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, in other words websites that need quick live communication.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

As Node.js is available on our advanced cloud platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared account and to utilize it for any web-based app that you have, irrespective of which shared hosting package you have picked at signup. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared hosting accounts, will permit you to choose the number of instances that you would like to run – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes later, you can insert the path to the application, i.e. where the .js file will be located in your website hosting account, as well as to choose the IP to gain access to that file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js section that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel, you can restart an instance or to stop it if you no longer require it. You will also gain access to the output code with just a single click of the mouse.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven web app running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform is offered with all our semi-dedicated server hosting packages and you can enable it with just a couple of clicks. In case you would like to use it for several sites, you can order more instances via the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The activation is as simple as choosing the location of your .js file and choosing if Node.js should use a dedicated IP or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses, so you can make use of Node.js even if you haven’t got any previous experience with similar software. Our system will also choose a random port number which will be used to access the .js file for the given application. Hepsia has an easy-to-use graphical interface that will allow you to restart and to remove any of your existing instances, to add new ones or to check the output of your apps with just one single click.

Node.js in VPS

All VPS that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel come with Node.js by default and you can use this event-driven platform for any script-powered web app that you run on the Virtual Private Server. As we have not put a limitation on the number of Node.js instances that you can run, you can make full use of the power of our Virtual Private Servers and mix it with the full capacity of Node.js. The setup is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-use, point ‘n’ click interface, so even if you are not technically experienced, you won’t encounter any impediments while working with the Node.js platform. You will only have to specify the path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. In addition, our system will also assign a port number to access the file and you will be able to see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. With only one mouse click, you will be able to view the output of your applications and to delete or to reboot any Node.js instance running on the VPS.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

Node.js comes with all dedicated hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you will be able to take full advantage of the platform once your server is up and running. As the Hepsia Control Panel is rather simple to use, you’ll be able to make that without the need to deal with any predicaments, even if you have not used Node.js before, as everything that you will have to do on your end is include the directory path to the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other sites. You can create as many instances as you wish on our ultra-powerful machines and each instance can be managed separately – you’ll be able to start, to restart or to cancel it, to see the output of the app that uses it, etc. You can do this via the simple-to-use, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can use the power of Node.js without efforts.
