Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime environment, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used by scalable apps that need live communication between a web server and the Internet users and can tremendously speed up the performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and constantly supplies tiny bits of information. For instance, if a new user fills in a signup form, as soon as any information is inserted in one of the fields, it is delivered to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user has not clicked on any button, so the information is processed a lot faster. In comparison, other systems wait for the entire form to be filled and one massive hunk of information is then sent to the server. Regardless of how little the difference in the processing speed may be, things change in case the site expands and there are lots of users using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by online reservation portals, interactive web browser games or web-based chat clients, for example, and a lot of companies, including eBay, LinkedIn and Yahoo, have already integrated it into their services.

Node.js in Shared Web Hosting

All Linux shared web hosting services that we offer support Node.js and you’re able to add this leading-edge platform to your account using the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to select the amount of instances for this specific upgrade, i.e. how many different platforms/sites will use Node.js at once, and you can add as many instances as you need. Hepsia will also allow you to set the path to your .js app and to decide if you will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a randomly generated port number given by our cloud hosting platform. Also, you can stop or reboot any instance that you have activated, modify the location of the .js app or see the output of the active instances with just a few clicks of the mouse from your web hosting Control Panel using a very easy-to-use GUI.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered software app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform comes bundled with all our semi-dedicated server packages and you can order it with just a couple of clicks. In case you want to use it for several websites, you can enable more instances through the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The setup is as simple as including the location of your .js file and selecting whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared ones, so you can make use of Node.js even if you have no previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also set a randomly generated port number that will be used to access the .js file associated with the particular application. Hepsia has an intuitive GUI that will permit you to reboot and to remove any of your running instances, to activate new ones or to check the output of your applications with just a click.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

All Linux VPS hosting services that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel offer Node.js by default and you can use the event-driven platform for any Internet application that you host on the Virtual Private Server. Since we haven’t imposed any limit as to how many instances you can use, you can take advantage of the power of our VPSs and combine it with the full potential of the Node.js platform. The setup is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s intuitive, point & click GUI, so even if you aren’t technically experienced, you won’t come across any obstacles while using the Node.js platform. You’ll only have to include the path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What’s more, our system will also allocate a port number to access the file and you’ll be able to find it in the corresponding Control Panel section. With just one click of the mouse, you can see the output of your applications and to discontinue or to restart any Node.js instance running on the VPS server.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js is available with all Linux dedicated web hosting on which our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers an amazingly simple and easy-to-navigate interface, so even if you have not worked with Node.js before, you can unleash its full potential in just a few easy steps. As soon as you have uploaded the application’s content, you will need to specify the path to the particular .js files that will use Node.js and to choose the IP address that they will use (dedicated or shared), while our system will allocate a random port number that will be used to access the files in question. There isn’t any limit as to the total number of instances that you can activate and run at the same time and you will exert full control over them via the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to add new ones or to terminate/restart existing ones, to review the output log for each app, etcetera.
