Node.js is a leading-edge, event-driven non-blocking I/O platform built for Internet sites which support real-time communication. Some examples of such websites are online browser game portals, online chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. Node.js handles the info exchanged between the site and its visitors in tiny bits, which accelerates the load speed and the performance of the site considerably. When some form with 3 boxes is expected to be filled out by a user, for example, typically all three boxes should be filled and the whole content is then forwarded as one sizeable chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed as soon as it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second one. Therefore, a lot more information can be processed a lot faster and more efficiently in contrast to any traditional system, which can exert a remarkable effect on the overall performance of the website. Node.js is already being employed by many of the biggest IT firms such as Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

As Node.js is present on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your shared account and to utilize it for any web app that you have, irrespective of which shared hosting package you have picked during the subscription process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting accounts, will allow you to choose the number of instances that you’d like to have – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. Several minutes later, you’ll be able to enter the path to the app, i.e. the location of the .js file in your shared account, as well as to choose the IP to receive access to the file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. In the new Node.js menu that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to restart an instance or to disable it in case you do not want it anymore. You will also be granted access to the output code with only one mouse click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you will be able to take advantage of the full capacity of Node.js with any Internet app that you host on our cloud web hosting platform, due to the fact that it is available with each semi-dedicated hosting plan that we’re offering. You can add the number of instances, or apps which can use Node.js, from the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can administer your account. The only things that you’re expected to do after that will be to define the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select the IP address that will be used in order to access that file. You can pick a dedicated IP in case you’ve got one, or any of the server’s shared IPs. Our platform will also designate a random port number. When you have the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you can check the output of a given application or to start/restart/discontinue any of the instances that you have added.

Node.js in VPS

Node.js is offered by default with each virtual private server that comes with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and involves no restrictions as to the number of web sites that can use it at any given moment. This makes our VPS plans an excellent choice for managing numerous real-time script-driven web applications and for making the most of each of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is intuitive enough even for persons without any prior experience, so if you’d like to enable Node.js for any app, it won’t take more than a few mouse clicks to make this. You’ll only have to indicate the location of the specific .js file and to select whether Node.js will use the server’s shared IP address or a dedicated one. Our platform will also allocate a given port number that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you’ll be all set and ready to make use of the full potential of your real-time applications. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to view the apps’ output and to restart or to shut down any of your instances using quick-access controls.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-powered apps at no extra fee in case you order one of our dedicated hosting and choose the Hepsia Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel through a simple-to-navigate graphical interface, which will permit you to start/delete/reboot any instance or to see the output of the application that uses it with just one mouse click. Even if you’re not very tech-savvy, you will be able to use the Node.js platform, since all you have to do to activate it is add the path to the .js file and pick the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a dedicated or a shared IP. A randomly generated port number will be allocated automatically too and you will see the advantages of running Node.js momentarily. By mixing the platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you can make the most of the full potential of your apps and to get the best conceivable performance.
