Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to develop scalable applications. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles requests and responses between a server and an immense number of online users much more efficiently than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in difference between traditional platforms which handle the info in sizeable hunks, it processes everything in little bits. For instance, in case a user needs to fill a few fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the information in the first field the second it’s entered, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In comparison, other platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single user, but it truly does make a difference when an enormous number of users are visiting a website at the very same time. A few instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be applied are dinner reservation portals, chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. websites that need quick live interaction.

Node.js in Website Hosting

You can use Node.js with every website hosting package that we offer, as the platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an active web hosting account with a couple of clicks of the mouse. When you log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can select how many instances you would like to run. One instance means that one single app will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you need. A new menu will show up in the Control Panel shortly after that and to begin using Node.js, you will have to specify the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to decide if the connection should go through the physical server’s shared IP address 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 view the output of any given application.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

Node.js is available with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-equipped Linux VPS hosting packages offered by us and you can set it up without the need to deal with any problem, even if you’ve never worked with it before, as Hepsia offers an intuitive, point ‘n’ click graphical interface, which will permit you to do anything with no effort. The platform can be used for as many script-based web apps as you like, so you can make the most of your sites by combining the power of our virtual servers with the performance offered by Node.js. You need to insert the directory path to the .js file in your account and to select if it will use a dedicated IP address or your virtual server’s shared one and you’ll be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port number that our system will set randomly when you set up a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will give you full control over all Node.js instances and, with only one mouse click, you will be able to start, to cancel or to restart them, as well as to view the output of each application that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js is available with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you’ll be able to make use of this platform as soon as your server is assembled. As Hepsia is exceptionally simple to use, you’ll be able to make that without any obstacles, even if you have never worked with the Node.js platform before, as everything that you’ll need to do on your end is specify the location of the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and the IP that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other sites. You can run as many Node.js instances as you wish on our exceptionally powerful machines and each instance can be managed independently – you will be able to start, to reboot or to deactivate it, to view the output of the app that uses it, etc. You can do this through the easy-to-work-with, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take advantage of the power of Node.js without effort.
