Node.js is an event-driven runtime environment built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used for scalable web apps that require real-time interaction between a web server and the worldwide web users and can significantly improve the performance of any Internet site that’s using it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP requests and responses and incessantly supplies tiny bits of information. For instance, in case a new user fills in a signup form, as soon as any information is entered in one of the fields, it’s submitted to the server even if the other fields are not filled and the user has not clicked any button, so the information is handled much faster. In comparison, conventional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one sizeable chunk of information is then submitted to the server. Irrespective of how small the difference in the processing speed may be, things change when the website expands and there are numerous people using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for online booking portals, interactive web browser-based games or online chat applications, for instance, and numerous corporations, including LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already included it in their services.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

All shared plans offered by our company include Node.js and you will be able to add this avant-garde event-driven platform to your account using the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can select the number of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many different platforms/sites will use Node.js at once, and you can order as many instances as you require. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to specify the location of your .js app and to select if you will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a random port number set by our cloud platform. Furthermore, you can stop or reboot any instance that you have added, edit the location of the .js app or check the active instances’ output with just a couple of clicks from your hosting Control Panel via a truly easy-to-use GUI.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get a semi-dedicated server package through our company, you’ll be able to use the full capacity of Node.js with any Internet app that you host on our cloud website hosting platform, since it is available with each and every semi-dedicated package offered by us. You can add the number of instances, or applications which can use Node.js, through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can administer your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you’ll need do after that will be to define the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to pick the IP that will be used in order to access that file. You can pick a dedicated IP address in case you’ve got one, or any of the server’s shared IPs. Our platform will also allocate a random port number. With the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you are able to view the output of a given app or to start/restart/stop any of the instances that you’ve added.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to buy one of our dedicated web hosting plans for your script-powered applications and if you select the Hepsia Control Panel during the order procedure, you’ll be able to use Node.js at no additional cost, since the platform is incorporated into our in-house developed tool. As our servers are really powerful, you’ll enjoy excellent results even if you host lots of Node.js instances at once. The configuration requires a couple of mouse clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s GUI will make it incredibly easy for you to set up a new instance even if you’ve got little or no prior experience. Inserting the .js file path and selecting a shared or a dedicated IP address will be everything that you’ll need to do yourself and once our system has selected a port to access this file, you’ll be all set. Any of the instances that you’ve activated can be restarted or deactivated separately and you’ll get access to an elaborate output log for each application that uses the Node.js platform.
