Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven system, which is used to build scalable web apps. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of online users much more effectively than any other platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that unlike traditional systems that process the info in huge hunks, it processes everything in little bits. For instance, if a user has to fill in a few fields on a website, Node.js processes the information in the first field once it is entered, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In contrast, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it indeed does make a difference when a large number of users are browsing a website at once. A couple of instances of sites where Node.js can be used are dinner booking portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. sites that need fast live communication.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

All Linux cloud hosting packages offered by us support Node.js and you’re able to add this leading-edge event-driven platform to your account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can pick the number of instances for this specific upgrade, i.e. how many separate platforms/sites will use Node.js at once, and you can run as many instances as you need. The Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to pick the exact location of your .js app and to choose if you’ll use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible via a random port chosen by our cloud hosting platform. On top of that, you can stop or reboot any instance that you’ve activated, modify the path to the .js app or see the running instances’ output with just a couple of clicks from your web hosting Control Panel via a pretty simple-to-use interface.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven web app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform comes bundled with all our semi-dedicated plans and you can set it up with just a few clicks of the mouse. In case you wish to use it for different websites, you can get more instances via the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The activation is as simple as entering the path to your .js file and choosing if the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared ones, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you’ve got no previous experience with similar software. Our system will also assign a random port number which will be used to access the .js file associated with the given app. Hepsia has a user-friendly GUI that will allow you to reboot and to remove any of your active instances, to add new ones or to see your applications’ output with just one click.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js is offered with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you will be able to make the most of the event-driven platform as soon as your server is up and running. Since the Hepsia Control Panel is very simple to use, you’ll be able to do that without experiencing any predicaments, even if you haven’t worked with the Node.js platform before, as everything that you will need to do on your end is define the location of the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP address that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other websites. You can set up as many Node.js instances as you need on our incredibly powerful dedicated machines and each instance can be controlled separately – you’ll be able to start, to restart or to stop it, to check the output of the app using it, etc. This can be done through the easy-to-work-with, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make the most of the power of the Node.js platform with no effort.
