Node.js is a leading-edge, open-source, event-driven, I/O system used for Internet sites that support interactive communication. Some examples of such websites are online browser-based game portals, live chat rooms or hotel reservation portals. The platform processes the info transmitted between the Internet site and its visitors in little bits, which improves the speed and the performance of the site significantly. If some form with three boxes should be filled by a specific user, for instance, usually all three boxes should be filled and the entire content is then sent as one sizeable chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed as soon as it is entered, before the user types anything in the second box. Thus, a lot more information can be processed much faster and more effectively compared to any traditional platform, which can have a considerable influence on the performance of the website. Node.js is already being used by some of the biggest IT corporations such as Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

When you host an Internet application on our advanced cloud website hosting platform and you’d like to try out Node.js, you will be able to add it to your hosting account regardless of the shared hosting plan that you use. This can be done from the Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You’ll be able to choose how many instances you’d like to add to your account – one instance means that one application will be using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can specify the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and choose if the file in question will be reachable via the server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated one. Our system will also allocate a port for the connection. You’ll be able to shut down or to reboot each instance separately, in case it’s required.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered web application running in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform is offered with all our semi-dedicated packages and you can enable it with only several clicks. If you would like to use it for multiple Internet sites, you can activate more instances from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The activation is as simple as adding the path to your .js file and choosing whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses, so you can take advantage of Node.js even if you don’t have any previous experience with similar software. Our system will also designate a random port which will be used to access the .js file for the specific application. Hepsia has an easy to work with graphical interface that will allow you to reboot and to deactivate any of your active instances, to create new ones or to view your apps’ output with just one single click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js comes bundled with all Hepsia Control Panel-managed VPS servers that we offer and you can activate it without the need to deal with any problem, even if you’ve never worked with it before, since Hepsia has an easy-to-use, point ‘n’ click interface, which will allow you to do anything without efforts. The Node.js platform can be used for as many web apps as you wish, so you can get the most out of your Internet sites by combining the power of our Virtual Private Servers with the performance that the Node.js platform offers. You’ll have to define the path to the .js file in your VPS account and to select whether it will use a dedicated IP address or your VPS server’s shared one and you’ll be all set. The file can be accessed using a port number that our system will generate randomly when you set up a new Node.js instance. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you total control over all instances and, with only one mouse click, you’ll be able to start, to cancel or to reboot them, as well as to view the output of each application that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is offered with all dedicated servers that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you’ll be able to use this event-driven platform as soon as your dedicated machine is assembled. As the Hepsia Control Panel is extremely easy to use, you’ll be able to do that without any difficulties, even if you’ve never used Node.js before, since everything that you will need to do on your end is include the folder path to the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP address 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 manage as many Node.js instances as you wish on our incredibly powerful servers and each instance can be controlled separately – you will be able to start, to restart or to terminate it, to check the output of the application using it, etc. You can do this through the simple-to-use, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take advantage of the power of Node.js without efforts.
