Node.js is an avant-garde, open-source, event-driven, non-blocking I/O system designed for Internet sites which support live communication. Some instances of such sites are online browser video game portals, online chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. The platform processes the info exchanged between the website and its visitors in small bits, which improves the loading speed and the performance of the site significantly. When a certain form with 3 boxes should be filled out by a specific user, for instance, normally all three boxes should be filled out and the entire content is then forwarded as one large chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed once it is entered, before the user types anything in the second one. Therefore, much more information can be handled much faster and more efficiently compared with any conventional platform, which can exert a huge influence on the performance of the site. Node.js is already being employed by some of the biggest IT companies like Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Shared Web Hosting

As Node.js is available on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your shared account and to utilize it for any web app that you’ve got, irrespective of which shared web hosting package you have chosen during the signup process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with all hosting accounts, will allow you to pick the number of instances that you’d like to activate – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A few minutes after that, you’ll be able to specify the path to the application, in other words the location of the .js file in your hosting account, as well as to pick the IP to gain access to the file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to reboot an instance or to shut it down if you do not require it anymore. You will also be given access to the output code with only a single mouse click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based web app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform is offered with all our semi-dedicated plans and you can set it up with only several clicks. If you want to use it for different sites, you can activate more instances from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The activation is as simple as adding the location of your .js file and selecting whether Node.js should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared IPs, so you can take full advantage of Node.js even if you have no previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also set a randomly generated port which will be used to access the .js file for the specific app. Hepsia has a simple-to-use graphical interface that will allow you to reboot and to discontinue any of your active instances, to create new ones or to view your applications’ output with just one click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js is available with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-equipped Linux VPS web hosting plans that we offer and you can set it up without needing to deal with any problem, even if you’ve never used it beforehand, because Hepsia has an intuitive, point-and-click graphical interface, which will permit you to do anything without efforts. The platform can be used for as many script-powered applications as you want, so you can get the most out of your websites by combining the power of our Virtual Private Servers with the performance that Node.js offers. You’ll have to specify the path to the .js file in your account and to select whether it will use a dedicated IP or your server’s shared one and you’ll be all set. The file can be accessed using a port number that our system will assign randomly when you activate a new Node.js instance. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you full control over all instances and, with only one click of the mouse, you’ll be able to start, to delete or to restart them, as well as to view the output of each app that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is available with all dedicated servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to take full advantage of this platform as soon as your dedicated machine is set up. As Hepsia is rather user-friendly, you will be able to make that without the need to deal with any complications, even if you have not worked with Node.js before, as everything that you’ll need to do on your end is define the folder path to 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 Internet sites. You can create as many Node.js instances as you want on our exceptionally powerful servers and each of them can be managed independently – you will be able to start, to reboot or to terminate it, to check the output of the application using it, etc. You can do this via the simple-to-use, point & click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take full advantage of the power of the Node.js platform without efforts.
