Node.js is a leading-edge, event-driven I/O platform designed for sites which support real-time interaction. Some instances of such sites are online browser-based video game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. The platform handles the information exchanged between the Internet site and its visitors in little bits, which accelerates the load speed and the performance of the website tremendously. If a given form with three boxes should be filled out by a specific user, for instance, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled and their entire content is then sent as one massive chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed the second it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second box. Thus, a lot more info can be processed much faster and more efficiently in comparison with any traditional system, which can have a serious impact on the overall performance of the website. Node.js is already being used by some of the largest IT companies like Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

When you host a web application on our advanced cloud website hosting platform and you would like to try out Node.js, you will be able to add it to your account regardless of the cloud hosting plan that you are using. You can make this from the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this upgrade to the account. You will be able to select how many instances you would like to add to your account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can specify the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and choose whether that file will be accessible through the physical server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated IP. Our platform will also specify a port number for the connection. You will be able to shut down or to restart each instance independently, if it’s necessary.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan through our company, you’ll be able to take advantage of the full capacity of Node.js with any Internet app that you host on our cloud website hosting platform, as it’s available with each and every semi-dedicated hosting plan that we offer. You can specify the number of instances, or apps that can use Node.js, via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can administer your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you’ll have do after that will be to insert the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to select the IP address that will be used to access that file. You can choose a dedicated IP address if you have one, or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses. Our system will also select a randomly generated port number. When you have the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you can see a given application’s output or to start/reboot/remove any of the instances that you have created.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can make use of Node.js with any of the VPS hosting service offered by us if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can configure it with a couple of clicks of the mouse even if you don’t have any experience with such a software platform, as Hepsia is quite intuitive and simple to use. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to insert the path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your VPS’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port number will be designated automatically too. There won’t be any limit on how many sites can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our VPS servers for plenty of sites and enjoy an exceptional overall performance. Quick-access buttons in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section will permit you to start, to shut down or to restart any instance separately and to check their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to order one of our dedicated servers for your script-powered apps and if you pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page, you will be able to use Node.js at no extra charge, since the platform is included in our in-house built Control Panel tool. Since our servers are exceptionally powerful, you will get superb performance even if you run many Node.js instances simultaneously. The configuration requires several clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s user interface will make it amazingly easy for you to activate a new Node.js instance even if you’ve got little or no previous experience. Defining the .js file path and selecting a shared or a dedicated IP will be everything that you’ll need to do yourself and as soon as our system has selected a port number to access this file, you will be all set. Any of the instances that you’ve activated can be restarted or terminated independently and you’ll obtain access to an in-depth output log for each app that uses the Node.js platform.
