Node.js is an advanced event-driven platform, which is used to develop scalable apps. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a server and an enormous number of Internet users much more effectively than any other system. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in contrast to conventional systems which handle the information in giant hunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For instance, if a user has to fill in a couple of fields on a site, Node.js processes the information in the first field the moment it’s inserted, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more effectively. In contrast, other platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single person, but it undoubtedly does make a difference if an immense number of individuals are using a site all at once. A few instances of sites where Node.js can be applied are dinner booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, i.e. sites that support quick real-time communication.

Node.js in Hosting

You can take advantage of Node.js with every hosting plan that we are offering, since the event-driven platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing shared web hosting account with a couple of mouse clicks. After you sign into 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 single app will use the platform and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your website hosting account as you want. A new section will show up in the Control Panel shortly after that and to start using Node.js, you will need to insert the path to the .js file that will use it and to decide whether the connection will proceed through the physical server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to restart or to suspend an instance and to view any given app’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server package through us, you will be able to use the full capacity of Node.js with any Internet app that you host on our cloud website hosting platform, as it’s included with each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we are offering. You can indicate the number of instances, or apps which can use Node.js, through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can administer your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you are expected to do after that will be to add the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to select the IP that will be used in order to access this file. You can select a dedicated IP if you’ve got one, or any of the server’s shared IPs. Our platform will also choose a random port number. With the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you’re able to view the output of a given application or to start/restart/terminate any of the instances that you’ve activated.

Node.js in VPS

All VPS packages that are ordered with our custom-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel offer Node.js by default and you can take full advantage of the event-driven platform for each application that you run on the Virtual Private Server. Since we have not imposed any limit on the amount of Node.js instances that you can get, you can use the power of our Virtual Private Servers and combine it with the full potential of Node.js. The setup is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-work-with, point ‘n’ click interface, so even if you’re not technically experienced, you won’t need to cope with any impediments while working with the Node.js platform. You’ll just have to indicate the path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. Furthermore, our system will also designate a port to access the file and you will be able to see it in the corresponding section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With only a click, you can see the output of your applications and to cancel or to reboot any Node.js instance hosted on the server.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

Node.js comes bundled with all dedicated servers hosting packages on which our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter offers an incredibly simple and easy-to-use interface, so even if you have not used Node.js before, you will be able to take advantage of its full potential in just a few simple steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you’ll need to add the folder path to the particular .js files that will use Node.js and to pick the IP address which 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 restriction on the total amount of instances that you can create and run at the same time and you will exert total control over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to create new ones or to cancel/restart existing ones, to revise the output log for each application, and so on.
