Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven system, which is used to set up scalable apps. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles requests and responses between a server and an immense number of users much more effectively than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in contrast to traditional platforms that handle the information in huge chunks, it processes everything in tiny bits. For instance, when a user has to fill in a few fields on a site, Node.js processes the info from the first field the moment it is typed, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In contrast, conventional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single person, but it actually does make a difference when a huge number of individuals are browsing a site at the same time. A couple of instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be used are online dinner booking portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, in other words sites that need quick real-time communication.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting

You’ll be able to make use of Node.js with each and every cloud website hosting plan that we’re offering, as the event-driven platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an active hosting account with several clicks. Once you log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can pick the number of instances that you wish to order. One instance means that one app will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your website hosting account as you want. A new menu will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly afterwards and to begin using Node.js, you will need to indicate the path to the .js file that will use it and to select if the connection will go through the shared IP address of the server or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to restart or to deactivate an instance and to check the output of any given app.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our Linux semi-dedicated servers come with Node.js, so in case you would like to run any real-time application on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to take advantage of the power that Node.js can give you with just a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. This service is upgradeable, so if you wish to use Node.js for multiple sites, you’ll be able to choose the amount of running instances, one instance being one app. Using the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate graphical interface, you’ll need to include the location of the .js file for each instance and to choose if Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Our platform will designate a randomly generated port number to access your app and you’ll see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to see the output of any of your apps or to discontinue/restart each instance independently.

Node.js in VPS Servers

The Node.js platform can be used for as many web apps as you need, so you can get the most out of your web sites by combining the power of our VPS servers with the performance offered by the Node.js platform. You will need to include the location of the .js file within your VPS account and to select if it will use a dedicated IP address or your VPS’s shared one 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 give you full control over all Node.js instances and, with just a click, you will be able to start, to stop or to restart them, as well as to view the output of each app that uses the platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Since our dedicated servers are unbelievably powerful, you’ll get stunning results even if you run plenty of Node.js instances at the same time. The setup takes a few mouse clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s graphical user interface will make it incredibly easy for you to create a new instance even if you’ve got little or no previous experience. Entering the .js file path and selecting a dedicated or a shared IP address will be everything that you’ll need to do yourself and once our system has chosen a port to access the .js file, you’ll be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you have activated can be rebooted or stopped independently and you will be granted with access to a detailed output log for each app that uses the Node.js platform.
