Node.js is a leading-edge, open-source, event-driven, non-blocking I/O platform built for websites which offer real-time communication. Some examples of such sites would be web-based browser video game portals, web-based chat rooms or hotel reservation portals. Node.js handles the info sent between the site and its visitors in small bits, which accelerates the loading speed and the performance of the site tremendously. If some form with three boxes should be filled by a particular user, for example, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled and the entire content is then delivered as one massive chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed as soon as it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second one. In this way, much more info can be processed much faster and more effectively in comparison to any conventional platform, which can have a remarkable impact on the performance of the website. Node.js is already being employed by some of the biggest IT corporations such as Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Website Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js with each website hosting package that we are offering, since the platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing account with a few mouse clicks. When you log into your Hepsia Control Panel, you will find Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can choose how many instances you want to run. One instance means that one single app will use Node.js and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your hosting account as you wish. A new menu will show up in the Control Panel shortly afterwards and to begin using Node.js, you will have to enter the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select whether the connection will proceed through the shared IP address of the server or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also permit you to reboot or to shut down an instance and to see the output of any given app.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can use all the benefits that the Node.js platform has, as it’s available with all our semi-dedicated server packages and you are able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with several clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the account management tool that is included with each semi-dedicated server. If you’d like to use Node.js for different web applications, you can pick the number of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your semi-dedicated package. After that, you will have to enter the path to the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel after you order the upgrade and during the process, you can also select if the access path to the given application will go through a dedicated IP – if you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP address. Each instance that you order can be rebooted or deactivated independently and you can view your applications’ output with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js is available by default with each and every VPS server that is ordered with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and imposes no constraints as to the number of web sites that can use it at any particular moment. This makes our VPS plans an ideal solution for hosting numerous real-time script-driven applications and for getting the most out of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is intuitive enough even for individuals without any prior experience, so if you would like to activate Node.js for any application, it won’t take more than several clicks of the mouse to make this. You’ll only need to add the folder path to the .js file in question and to select whether Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP address or a dedicated IP. Our system will also choose a particular port number that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you’ll be all set and will be able to make use of the full potential of your real-time applications. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to see the applications’ output and to restart or to remove any of your instances using fast-access controls.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to buy one of our dedicated web hosting plans for your script-powered apps and if you select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order process, you will be able to make use of Node.js at no extra cost, since the event-driven platform is included in our custom Control Panel tool. As our dedicated servers are very powerful, you will get stunning performance even if you make use of plenty of Node.js instances at the same time. The setup takes a few clicks and Hepsia’s graphical user interface will make it rather easy for you to set up a new Node.js instance even if you’ve got little or no previous experience. Adding the .js file path and choosing a shared or a dedicated IP address will be everything that you’ll need to do yourself and as soon as our system has set a port to access this file, you will be all set. Any of the instances that you’ve created can be rebooted or discontinued independently and you’ll receive access to a detailed output log for each application that uses the Node.js platform.
