Node.js is an advanced, event-driven I/O platform designed for sites that support live interaction. Several instances of such sites are web-based browser game portals, online chat rooms or hotel reservation portals. The platform processes the information transmitted between the Internet site and its users in tiny bits, which boosts the load speed and the performance of the website substantially. If a certain form with 3 boxes should be filled out by a particular user, for instance, usually all three boxes should be filled and their entire content is then forwarded as one sizeable hunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed the moment it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second box. In this way, a lot more information can be handled a lot faster and more efficiently compared to any conventional system, which can have a considerable effect on the overall performance of the site. Node.js is already being employed by some of the largest IT firms like Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Hosting

You’ll be able to make use of Node.js with every hosting package that we’re offering, since the platform is available on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing shared hosting account with a couple of clicks. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you will find Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can select how many instances you would like to get. One instance means that one single application will use Node.js and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your account as you like. A new menu will show up in the Control Panel soon afterwards and to start using Node.js, you’ll have to add the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose whether the connection should go through the shared IP address of the server or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to reboot or to remove an instance and to see any given application’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can use all the advantages that the Node.js platform is offering, as it is is included with all our semi-dedicated hosting packages and you’re able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with a couple of clicks from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel – the account management tool that’s included with every semi-dedicated server. If you wish to employ Node.js for different web-based apps, you can select the amount of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this service to your semi-dedicated plan. Then, you will have to enter the path to the .js file in your account for each instance. You can do this in the new section that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel after you add the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also choose if the access path to the particular application will go through a dedicated IP address – in case you have one, or through the server’s shared IP address. Each instance that you run can be rebooted or deactivated independently and you can see your applications’ output with only a couple of clicks of the mouse.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

Node.js is available as standard with each virtual private server that comes with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and imposes no restrictions as to the number of sites that can use it at any particular time. This makes our VPS packages a perfect solution for running numerous real-time script-powered apps and for making the most of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is user-friendly enough even for people without any previous experience, so if you want to set up Node.js for any app, it won’t take more than a few clicks to make this. You’ll simply have 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 one. Our platform will also select a specific port that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you’ll be all set and ready to use the full potential of your real-time applications. Hepsia will enable you to view the apps’ output and to reboot or to remove any of your instances using quick-access buttons.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js comes bundled with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages on which our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a pretty simple and user-friendly graphical interface, so even if you have not used Node.js before, you’ll be able to unleash its full potential in only a few simple steps. As soon as you have uploaded the application’s content, you will have to insert the location of the particular .js files that will use Node.js and to pick the IP which they’ll use (shared or dedicated), while our system will set a randomly generated port number that will be used to access the files in question. There’s no limit as to the total amount of Node.js instances that you can enable and run simultaneously and you will exert full command over them via the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to add new ones or to remove/reboot existing ones, to revise the output log for each application, and so on.
