Node.js is an event-driven runtime system, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used for scalable web applications that need live interaction between a server and the worldwide web users and can significantly accelerate the overall performance of any Internet site that’s using it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and incessantly provides tiny amounts of information. For instance, if a new user fills in a registration form, as soon as any info is entered in any of the boxes, it is delivered to the server even if the rest of the boxes are not filled and the user has not clicked any button, so the information is processed a lot faster. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one big hunk of information is then sent to the server. No matter how small the difference in the processing speed may be, things change if the website grows bigger and there are lots of people using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by booking sites, real-time browser games or web-based chat portals, for instance, and plenty of companies, including Yahoo, eBay and LinkedIn, have already included it in their services.

Node.js in Cloud Web Hosting

When you host an Internet application on our advanced cloud website hosting platform and you wish to try Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your hosting account irrespective of the cloud web hosting plan that you use. You can make this through the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than a few minutes after you add this service to the account. You’ll be able to select how many instances you’d like to add to your account – one instance means one app using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can insert the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and select whether the file in question will be reachable via the shared IP of the server or via a dedicated one. Our system will also assign a port for the connection. You’ll be able to terminate or to reboot each instance separately, if necessary.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to use the full capacity of Node.js with any web application that you host on our cloud hosting platform, since it is included with each and every package that we offer. You can add the number of instances, or apps which can use Node.js, via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can control your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you’re expected to do after that will be to enter the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to pick the IP address that will be used to access this file. You can pick a dedicated IP if you have one, or any of the physical server’s shared IPs. Our system will also assign a randomly generated port. When you have the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you are able to check a given application’s output or to start/restart/terminate any of the instances that you have activated.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js is offered by default with each VPS server that comes with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and involves no constraints when it comes to the number of websites that can use it at any given moment. This makes our Virtual Private Server plans an excellent option for building different real-time Internet applications and for getting the most out of each of them. Hepsia is intuitive enough even for individuals without any prior experience, so if you wish to enable Node.js for any app, it won’t take more than a few clicks of the mouse to do it. You will simply need to insert the path to the given .js file and to select if Node.js will use the server’s shared IP address or a dedicated IP. Our system will also specify a given port that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you will be all set and will be able to use the full potential of your real-time apps. The Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to view the apps’ output and to reboot or to cancel any of your instances using fast-access controls.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is included with all Linux dedicated service on which our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a pretty intuitive and easy-to-navigate GUI, so even if you haven’t worked with the Node.js platform before, you’ll be able to unveil its true potential in just a few easy steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you’ll need to insert the folder path to the given .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP that they will use (dedicated or shared), whereas our system will designate a randomly generated port number that will be used to access the files in question. There is no limit as to the total number of instances that you can create and use simultaneously and you’ll exert full control over them through the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to order new ones or to cancel/reboot existing ones, to revise the output log for each application, etc.
