Node.js is an innovative, event-driven non-blocking I/O system meant for Internet sites which offer interactive communication. Several examples of such sites would be online browser video game portals, web-based chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. The platform processes the information exchanged between the Internet site and its users in little bits, which boosts the load speed and the overall performance of the site tremendously. When some form with three boxes is expected to be filled out by a particular user, for example, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled out and the whole content is then delivered as one massive chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed as soon as it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second one. In this way, much more information can be handled much faster and more efficiently as opposed to any other platform, which can have a significant effect on the overall performance of the site. Node.js is already being used by many of the biggest IT corporations such as Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Hosting

When you host a web application on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform and you wish to try out Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your account irrespective of the hosting plan that you are using. You can make this through the Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than a few minutes after you add this feature to your account. You will be able to choose how many instances you wish to add to the account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can add the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and choose whether the file in question will be reachable through the physical server’s shared IP or via a dedicated one. Our system will also select a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to disable or to reboot each instance separately, if it’s needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated servers offer Node.js, so in case you wish to host any real-time app on our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to make use of the power that the system can offer you with only several clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The feature is upgradeable, so in case you would like to use Node.js for multiple web sites, you’ll be able to pick the amount of active instances, one instance being one application. Through the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate graphical interface, you’ll have to add the path to the .js file for each instance and to select whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared IP. Our cloud platform will designate a randomly generated port number to access your application and you will see it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. Hepsia will also allow you to view the output of each of your apps or to remove/restart each instance separately.

Node.js in VPS Servers

You can get Node.js with each of the VPS servers that we’re offering if you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can configure it with a few clicks of the mouse even if you have no experience with a similar software platform, since Hepsia is really intuitive and easy to work with. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to add the folder path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your VPS’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port will be set automatically as well. There won’t be any limitations as to the number of the Internet sites that can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our virtual servers for plenty of sites and enjoy a superb overall performance. Fast-access menus in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section will enable you to start, to remove or to restart any Node.js instance independently and to check their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js comes with all dedicated servers on which our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a rather simple and easy-to-use graphical interface, so even if you’ve never worked with Node.js before, you will be able to unleash its true potential in just a couple of easy steps. Once you’ve uploaded the app’s content, you will have to indicate the location of the particular .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to pick the IP address that they’ll use (shared or dedicated), while our system will assign a randomly generated port that will be used to access the files in question. There is no restriction on the total amount of Node.js instances that you can activate and run simultaneously and you will exert complete command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to order new ones or to deactivate/reboot existing ones, to check the output log for each app, and many others.
