Node.js is an innovative, event-driven non-blocking input/output platform intended for websites which support real-time communication. A few examples of such websites would be web-based browser video game portals, live chat rooms or hotel reservation portals. The platform processes the info sent between the website and its visitors in small bits, which accelerates the loading speed and the performance of the site tremendously. If a given form with three boxes has to be filled by a specific user, for example, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled out and their entire content is then forwarded as one big chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed as soon as it is inserted, before the user writes anything in the second box. In this way, much more information can be handled much faster and more effectively in comparison with any traditional system, which can have a great influence on the performance of the site. Node.js is already being employed by some of the largest IT firms like Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

Since Node.js is available on our advanced cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared web hosting account and to use it for any web app that you have, regardless of which shared hosting plan you have selected during the registration process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared accounts, will allow you to choose the number of instances that you want to get – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. Several minutes afterwards, you’ll be able to insert the path to the app, i.e. where the .js file will be located in your hosting account, as well as to select the IP to receive access to that file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to restart an instance or to deactivate it if you don’t want it any longer. You’ll also acquire access to the output code with just one mouse click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server package through our company, you will be able to make use of the full capacity of Node.js with any web app that you host on our cloud platform, since it comes with each package offered by our company. You can add the number of instances, or apps which can use Node.js, via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can control your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you are expected to do after that will be to insert the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to pick the IP address that will be used in order to access that file. You can pick a dedicated IP address in case you have one, or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses. Our system will also select a randomly generated port number. With the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you are able to check the output of a given app or to start/reboot/discontinue any of the instances that you’ve created.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

You can run Node.js with any of the VPS web hosting packages offered by our company if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. The platform will have its very own section where you can set it up with a few clicks of the mouse even if you’ve got no experience with such software, as Hepsia is rather intuitive and easy to navigate. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to add the directory path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP. A random access port will be set automatically too. There won’t be any constraints as to how many Internet sites can use Node.js at once, so you can use our VPS servers for multiple websites and enjoy an impressive overall performance. Fast-access buttons in the Node.js section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will enable you to start, to stop or to restart any Node.js instance separately and to view their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Node.js is offered with all dedicated servers hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you’ll be able to make use of the event-driven platform once your server is up and running. As Hepsia is incredibly intuitive, you will be able to do that without encountering any predicaments, even if you haven’t used the Node.js platform before, since everything that you’ll need to do on your end is include the location of the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other sites. You can manage as many instances as you want on our really powerful dedicated servers and each instance can be managed separately – you will be able to start, to restart or to stop it, to check the output of the application using it, etc. You can do this via the user-friendly, point & click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take full advantage of the power of Node.js without efforts.
