Node.js is an advanced, event-driven input/output platform built for sites that offer real-time interaction. Some examples of such websites would be web-based browser video game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. Node.js processes the information sent between the website and its users in tiny bits, which accelerates the load speed and the performance of the website considerably. If a certain form with 3 boxes should be filled out by a user, for example, usually all three boxes should be filled and the whole content is then forwarded as one large chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed the second it is entered, before the user types anything in the second one. In this way, a lot more information can be processed a lot faster and more efficiently as opposed to any conventional system, which can exert a tremendous influence on the website’s overall performance. Node.js is already being used by some of the leading IT corporations like Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Hosting

When you host an Internet app on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform and you would like to try Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your web hosting account irrespective of the hosting package that you are using. This can be done from the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to use Node.js in no more than a few minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You will be able to choose the number of instances that you wish to add to the account – one instance means that one application will be using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can type the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and choose if the file in question will be accessible through the shared IP of the server or via a dedicated IP. Our system will also specify a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to deactivate or to reboot each instance separately, in case it is needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based application hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform is included with all our semi-dedicated server packages and you can order it with only a few clicks of the mouse. If you want to use it for several Internet sites, you can create more instances via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The activation is as simple as inserting the path to your .js file and selecting if the platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared IPs, so you can take full advantage of Node.js even if you have no previous experience with a similar software platform. Our system will also designate a randomly generated port that will be used to access the .js file associated with the specific application. Hepsia has an intuitive graphical interface that will permit you to reboot and to cancel any of your running instances, to order new ones or to check the output of your applications with just one single click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js is available by default with each and every VPS server that is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and involves no restrictions as to the number of sites that can use it at any given time. This makes our Virtual Private Server packages an excellent solution for hosting different real-time script-driven applications and for getting the most out of each of them. Hepsia is user-friendly enough even for persons without any previous experience, so if you’d like to set up Node.js for any app, it will not take more than several mouse clicks to make this. You’ll simply have 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 one. Our platform will also assign a given port that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you will be all set and ready to take advantage of the full potential of your real-time apps. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to check the output of the applications and to reboot or to terminate any of your instances using fast-access controls.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is available with all dedicated web hosting plans that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you’ll be able to use the platform as soon as your physical machine is assembled. As Hepsia is really simple to work with, you will be able to make that without encountering any difficulty, even if you’ve never worked with the Node.js platform before, since everything that you’ll need to do on your end is define the path to the .js file that will use the platform and the IP address that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other websites. You can manage as many instances as you wish on our unbelievably powerful dedicated machines and each of them can be managed independently – you’ll be able to start, to restart or to delete it, to view the output of the application that uses it, etc. You can do this via the intuitive, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take full advantage of the power of the Node.js platform without efforts.
