Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable apps that need real-time interaction between a server and the worldwide web users and can considerably boost the performance of any Internet site that’s using it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly delivers tiny bits of info. For instance, in case a new user fills out a signup form, as soon as any information is entered in one of the fields, it’s sent to the server even if the other boxes are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the info is processed a whole lot faster. In comparison, other platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one large hunk of information is then submitted to the server. No matter how tiny the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change in case the site grows bigger and there’re numerous individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for online booking portals, real-time browser-based games or instant messengers, for example, and many corporations, including eBay, LinkedIn and Yahoo, have already included it in their services.

Node.js in Shared Web Hosting

When you host an Internet application on our advanced cloud platform and you’d like to try out Node.js, you will be able to add it to your web hosting account irrespective of the shared web hosting plan that you use. You can make this through the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this feature to the account. You’ll be able to select how many instances you wish to add to your account – one instance means one app using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can define the path to the .js file in your hosting account and select if the file in question will be reachable through the physical server’s shared IP address or through a dedicated one. Our platform will also set a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to deactivate or to reboot each instance independently, if it is necessary.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can use all the advantages that the Node.js event-driven platform has, due to the fact that it is available with all our semi-dedicated packages and you can add it to your account with a few mouse clicks from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated account management tool that comes bundled with each and every semi-dedicated server. In case you’d like to use Node.js for different web applications, you can choose the amount of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your semi-dedicated package. Then, you will need to specify the location of the .js file in your account for each instance. You can do this in the new menu that will show up in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also select whether the path to the particular application should go through a dedicated IP – in case you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP. Each instance that you order can be rebooted or shut down separately and you can check your applications’ output with only several clicks.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

Node.js is available by default with each virtual private server that comes with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and imposes no limitations with regard to the number of websites that can use it at any given time. This makes our VPS plans a perfect option for administering numerous real-time web applications and for making the most of each of them. Hepsia is user-friendly enough even for people with no previous experience, so if you wish to activate Node.js for any application, it will not take more than several clicks to make this. You’ll simply need to include the location of the .js file in question and to select if Node.js will use the server’s shared IP address or a dedicated IP. Our platform will also specify a certain port that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you’ll be all set and ready to use the full potential of your real-time apps. Hepsia will enable you to see the applications’ output and to reboot or to terminate any of your instances using quick-access controls.

Node.js is available with all dedicated servers hosting on which our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter has a very simple and easy-to-navigate interface, so even if you have not used Node.js before, you can uncover its full potential in just a few simple steps. Once you have uploaded the app’s content, you’ll need to add the location of the particular .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP address which they will use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will set a random port number that will be used to access the files in question. There is no restriction on the total amount of Node.js instances that you can create and run simultaneously and you’ll have complete command over them through the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to create new ones or to terminate/restart existing ones, to view the output log for each application, and many others.
