Node.js is an innovative, open-source, event-driven, asynchronous input/output platform designed for sites that offer real-time interaction. Several instances of such websites are online browser game portals, web-based chat rooms or hotel booking portals. Node.js handles the information sent between the website and its visitors in small bits, which boosts the loading speed and the overall performance of the website substantially. When a given form with three boxes should be filled out by a particular user, for instance, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled out and the whole content is then delivered as one large hunk of information to the web 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 box. Therefore, much more info can be handled a lot faster and more effectively compared to any conventional platform, which can have a huge impact on the performance of the site. Node.js is already being used by some of the top IT corporations such as Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting

You can make use of Node.js with each cloud website hosting plan offered by us, as the platform is available on our cloud servers and can be added to an active shared web hosting account with a few mouse clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you will see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can select the number of instances that you would like to activate. One instance means that one single app will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you need. A new section will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel soon after that and to start using Node.js, you’ll need to enter the path to the .js file that will use it and to choose whether the connection will pass through the shared IP address of the physical server or via a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to restart or to terminate an instance and to view any given app’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can make use of all the advantages that the Node.js event-driven platform offers, as it is comes with all our semi-dedicated packages and you are able to add it to your account with a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server management tool that is included with each and every semi-dedicated server. If you would like to employ Node.js for different web-based apps, you can choose the amount of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your semi-dedicated package. Then, you’ll have to enter the path to the .js file in your account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will show up in the Control Panel after you add the upgrade and during the process, you can also select if the path to the given application will go through a dedicated IP address – in case you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP. Each and every instance that you activate can be rebooted or discontinued independently and you can check the output of your apps with only a couple of clicks of the mouse.

Node.js in VPS Servers

All VPS servers that are ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel include Node.js as standard and you can take full advantage of the platform for any script-powered web app that you host on the VPS. As we haven’t imposed any limitation on how many instances you can run, you can use the power of our servers and combine it with the full capacity of the Node.js platform. The setup is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-work-with, point ‘n’ click graphical interface, so even if you’re not tech-savvy, you won’t need to deal with any difficulties while using the platform. You’ll simply have to include the folder path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. In addition, our system will also specify a port number to access the file and you will be able to find it in the respective section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With just a click, you’ll be able to check the output of your applications and to cancel or to restart any Node.js instance running on the VPS.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to purchase any of our dedicated servers for your script-driven web apps and if you pick the Hepsia Control Panel during the order procedure, you’ll be able to use Node.js at no additional fee, since this event-driven platform is available in our custom-built tool. Since our servers are incredibly powerful, you’ll enjoy great results even if you use a lot of Node.js instances simultaneously. The setup requires a few clicks of the mouse and Hepsia’s interface will make it amazingly easy for you to activate a new Node.js instance even if you’ve got little or no previous experience. Entering the path to the .js file and choosing a shared or a dedicated IP will be everything that you’ll have to do on your end and once our system has set a port number to access the .js file, you will be all set. Any of the instances that you have created can be rebooted or deleted separately and you will be given access to an exhaustive output log for each of the applications that use the Node.js platform.
