Node.js is an avant-garde, event-driven input/output platform designed for Internet sites that offer real-time communication. Several instances of such sites would be online browser-based game portals, online chat rooms or hotel reservation portals. The platform handles the info exchanged between the website and its users in little bits, which improves the load speed and the overall performance of the site significantly. If some form with three boxes has to be filled by a user, for example, usually all three boxes should be filled and their entire content is then delivered as one massive hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed the moment it is inserted, before the user writes anything in the second box. Therefore, a lot more information can be processed a lot faster and more efficiently compared with any other system, which can have a huge effect on the site’s performance. Node.js is already being used by some of the largest IT firms like Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

If you host an Internet app on our advanced cloud platform and you wish to try out Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your account irrespective of the cloud hosting plan that you’re using. This can be done via the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this service to the account. You’ll be able to choose the number of instances that you wish to add to the account – one instance means that one app will be using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can add the path to the .js file in your hosting account and select whether the file in question will be accessible through the physical server’s shared IP address or through a dedicated IP. Our system will also select a port for the connection. You’ll be able to delete or to reboot each instance separately, in case it is needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven web app running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform is included with all our packages and you can set it up with only several clicks of the mouse. If you would like to use it for multiple websites, you can get more instances via the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The setup is as simple as inserting the folder path to your .js file and selecting whether the platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared IP addresses, so you can make the most of Node.js even if you do not have any previous experience with similar software. Our system will also specify a random port number which will be used to access the .js file for the given app. Hepsia has an easy-to-use interface that will allow you to reboot and to discontinue any of your existing instances, to get new ones or to check the output of your apps with just a click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can make use of Node.js with each of the Linux VPS servers offered by us in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can set it up with a few clicks of the mouse even if you’ve got no experience with similar software, since Hepsia is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to insert the folder path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP. A random access port number will be set automatically too. There won’t be any restrictions as to the number of the websites that can use Node.js at once, so you can use our virtual machines for plenty of sites and enjoy a wonderful overall performance. Fast-access links in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to start, to cancel or to restart any instance separately and to view their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to make use of one of our Linux dedicated web hosting plans for your script-driven software applications and if you pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order process, you’ll be able to make use of Node.js at no additional cost, as the platform is incorporated into our custom Control Panel tool. Since our dedicated servers are rather powerful, you will get stunning results even if you manage many Node.js instances at the same time. The configuration requires a couple of mouse clicks and Hepsia’s GUI will make it really easy for you to set up a new Node.js instance even if you’ve got little or no previous experience. Indicating the .js file path and choosing a shared or a dedicated IP address will be everything that you’ll have to do on your end and once our system has chosen a port to access that file, you’ll be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you have created can be restarted or stopped independently and you will be provided with access to an elaborate output log for each of the applications that use Node.js.
