Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable applications. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a server and a large number of users more efficiently than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that unlike conventional systems which process the info in large hunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For example, when a user needs to fill in a couple of fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the information from the first field as soon as it’s inserted, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In comparison, conventional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for one single person, but it absolutely does make a difference when a huge number of users are using a website simultaneously. A few instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be used are dining booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, in other words sites that need quick real-time communication.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

If you host an Internet app on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform and you would like to try Node.js, you will be able to add it to your account regardless of the cloud hosting package that you use. This can be done via the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to use Node.js in no more than a few minutes after you add this feature to the account. You’ll be able to select how many instances you’d like to add to your account – one instance means that one app will be using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can type the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and choose if that file will be accessible via the shared IP of the physical server or via a dedicated one. Our system will also designate a port for the connection. You’ll be able to cancel or to reboot each instance separately, if needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can make use of all the advantages that the Node.js event-driven platform is offering, because it is is included with all our semi-dedicated plans and you’re able to add it to your account with a few clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the account management tool that comes with every semi-dedicated server. If you’d like to employ Node.js for multiple web-based apps, you can pick the amount of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this service to your semi-dedicated package. After that, you’ll need to add the path to the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. You can do this in the new menu that will show up in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and during the process, you can also select if the path to the particular application should go through a dedicated IP address – in case you’ve got one, or through the server’s shared IP. Each and every instance that you run can be rebooted or terminated independently and you can see your apps’ output with just a few clicks.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js comes with all Hepsia Control Panel-managed VPS servers that we are offering and you can activate it without any difficulties, even if you have never used it before, since Hepsia has an easy to work with, point & click graphical interface, which will allow you to do anything without any effort. The Node.js platform can be used for as many web-based applications as you need, so you can get the most out of your sites by combining the power of our virtual servers with the performance that the Node.js platform offers. You’ll need to add the folder path to the .js file in your VPS account and to choose if it will use a dedicated IP or your virtual server’s shared one and you will be all set. The file can be accessed using a port number that our system will select randomly when you create a new Node.js instance. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you complete control over all Node.js instances and, with only one click, you’ll be able to start, to cancel or to reboot them, as well as to see the output of each application that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js comes bundled with all dedicated servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to use the event-driven platform once your dedicated server is up and running. Since Hepsia is very simple to work with, you’ll be able to make that without having to deal with any problem, even if you have never worked with the Node.js platform before, as everything that you will need to do on your end is indicate the location of the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and the IP that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other sites. You can activate as many Node.js instances as you like on our really powerful dedicated machines and each of them can be controlled independently – you will be able to start, to reboot or to remove it, to check the output of the app using it, etc. This can be done through the simple-to-work-with, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make the most of the power of Node.js effortlessly.
