Node.js is an event-driven runtime system, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used by scalable web applications that need real-time communication between a server and the worldwide web users and can noticeably speed up the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly provides small amounts of info. For example, if a new user fills in a signup form, as soon as any info is inserted in any of the fields, it is submitted to the server even if the rest of the boxes are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the info is handled a whole lot faster. In comparison, conventional systems wait for the entire form to be filled and one big hunk of information is then forwarded to the server. Regardless of how small the difference in the processing speed may be, things change if the Internet site expands and there are a lot of persons using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for online booking portals, real-time web browser-based video games or web-based chat systems, for instance, and numerous companies, including Yahoo, eBay and LinkedIn, have already implemented it in their services.

Node.js in Web Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js with each web hosting plan that we offer, since the event-driven platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an existing shared hosting account with a few mouse clicks. Once you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can select the number of instances that you would like to order. One instance means that one app will use the platform and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your account as you wish. A new section will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly after that and to begin using Node.js, you will need to add the path to the .js file that will use it and to choose whether the connection will pass through the server’s shared IP address or through a dedicated one. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to restart or to cancel an instance and to see any given app’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can use all the benefits that the Node.js platform offers, as it is comes with all our semi-dedicated hosting packages and you can add it to your semi-dedicated account with several clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel – the account administration tool that comes with every semi-dedicated server. If you’d like to use Node.js for multiple Internet applications, you can choose the amount of instances which the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your semi-dedicated plan. After that, you will need to include the path to the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. This can be done in the new section that will appear in the Control Panel after you add the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also choose if the access path to the particular app will go through a dedicated IP address – if you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP address. Each instance that you add can be rebooted or shut down separately and you can check your apps’ output with only several clicks.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js is included with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you’ll be able to take full advantage of the platform as soon as your physical machine is set up. As the Hepsia Control Panel is incredibly simple to use, you’ll be able to make that without any problems, even if you have never worked with Node.js before, as everything that you’ll have to do on your end is specify the 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 Internet sites. You can activate as many Node.js instances as you want on our super-powerful servers and each instance can be managed separately – you’ll be able to start, to restart or to terminate it, to view the output of the app using it, etc. You can do this through the intuitive, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make use of the power of the Node.js platform with no effort.
