Node.js is a leading-edge, event-driven non-blocking input/output platform devised for Internet sites which support live communication. Some examples of such sites would be web-based browser game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. The platform handles the information transmitted between the Internet site and its visitors in little bits, which accelerates the loading speed and the overall performance of the site considerably. When some form with 3 boxes has to be filled by a particular user, for instance, typically all three boxes should be filled out and the entire content is then delivered as one big hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed as soon as it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second one. Thus, much more info can be handled much faster and more efficiently in comparison with any traditional system, which can have a huge effect on the website’s overall performance. Node.js is already being employed by some of the largest IT companies such as Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Shared Website Hosting

You’ll be able to make use of Node.js with each and every shared website hosting package that we’re offering, since the event-driven platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an active hosting account with several mouse clicks. Once you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can select how many instances you’d like to order. One instance means that one single application will use Node.js and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your website hosting account as you like. A new menu will appear in the Control Panel shortly after that and to begin using Node.js, you’ll need to define the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose if the connection will pass through the shared IP of the physical server or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also allow you to reboot or to terminate an instance and to view the output of any given application.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven software application running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the Node.js platform is available with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and you can set it up with only several clicks. If you’d like to use it for several web sites, you can add more instances through the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The configuration is as simple as entering the path to your .js file and selecting if the platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the server’s shared ones, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you have no previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also designate a random port number that will be used to access the .js file associated with the given application. Hepsia has a user-friendly graphical interface that will allow you to reboot and to delete any of your existing instances, to create new ones or to see your applications’ output with just one click.

Node.js in VPS

All VPS that are ordered with our tailor-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with Node.js by default and you can use the event-driven platform for any script-based software application that you run on the Virtual Private Server. As we haven’t put a restriction on how many instances you can get, you can make full use of the power of our VPS servers and combine it with the full capacity of Node.js. The configuration is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly, point & click interface, so even if you’re not tech-savvy, you won’t experience any impediments while using the Node.js platform. You will just need to indicate 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. Furthermore, our system will also choose a port to access this file and you’ll be able to see it in the respective Control Panel section. With just one mouse click, you will be able to see the output of your applications and to shut down or to restart any instance running on the server.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-powered web applications at no additional cost when you purchase one of our Linux dedicated hosting and select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section through a user-friendly graphical interface, which will permit you to start/deactivate/restart any instance or to view the output of the app that uses it with only one click. Even if you’re not very experienced, you’ll be able to use the Node.js platform, as all you have to do to set it up is insert the folder path to the .js file and pick the IP address that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated one. A randomly generated port number will be assigned automatically as well and you’ll see the advantages of running Node.js instantly. By mixing Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to make use of the full capacity of your applications and to get the best achievable performance.
