Node.js is an avant-garde, open-source, event-driven, asynchronous input/output platform used for sites that support interactive communication. A few examples of such websites are online browser-based video game portals, online chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. Node.js processes the info transmitted between the Internet site and its visitors in small bits, which boosts the load speed and the performance of the website noticeably. When a certain form with three boxes has to be filled out by a user, for example, usually all three boxes should be filled and their entire content is then submitted as one big chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed once it is entered, before the user types anything in the second one. In this way, a lot more info can be handled a lot faster and more efficiently as opposed to any traditional system, which can have a considerable impact on the overall performance of the website. Node.js is already being used by many of the largest IT corporations like Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js with every hosting plan offered by our company, since the platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an active web hosting account with a few clicks of the mouse. After you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can pick the number of instances that you want to add. One instance means that one single application will use Node.js and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your hosting account as you want. A new menu will show up in the Control Panel shortly afterwards and to start using Node.js, you will need to specify the path to the .js file that will use it and to choose if the connection should pass through the server’s shared IP or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to reboot or to suspend an instance and to check the output of any given application.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can make use of all the benefits that the Node.js event-driven platform has, because it is is included with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and you can add it to your semi-dedicated account with a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the account administration tool that comes with every semi-dedicated server. In case you would like to employ Node.js for different web apps, you can pick the amount of instances which the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your semi-dedicated package. Then, you’ll have to insert the path to the .js file in your account for each instance. You can do this in the new section that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel after you order the upgrade and during the process, you can also choose if the path to the specific app will go through a dedicated IP – in case you have one, or through the server’s shared IP. Each instance that you activate can be restarted or shut down separately and you can see the output of your applications with only a few clicks.

Node.js in VPS Servers

All VPS servers that are ordered with our custom Hepsia Control Panel include Node.js by default and you can take advantage of the event-driven platform for each application that you run on the Virtual Private Server. As we have not imposed a limitation on the number of Node.js instances that you can use, you can take full advantage of the power of our VPS servers and mix it with the full potential of the Node.js platform. The configuration is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s time and effort saving, point & click GUI, so even if you are not tech-savvy, you will not need to cope with any difficulties while using the Node.js platform. You will simply need to include the directory path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. What’s more, our system will also specify a port to access the file and you will be able to find it in the corresponding Control Panel section. With just one mouse click, you’ll be able to see your apps’ output and to remove or to restart any instance running on the Virtual Private Server.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to make use of the Node.js platform with your real-time, script-driven apps at no extra cost when you obtain any of our Linux dedicated web hosting plans and pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel through an intuitive graphical interface, which will enable you to start/terminate/restart any Node.js instance or to view the output of the app that uses it with just one click of the mouse. Even if you’re not very tech-savvy, you’ll be able to use the Node.js platform, since all you need to do to activate it is add the location of the .js file and pick the IP address that will be used to access the latter – a shared or a dedicated IP. A random port number will be designated automatically as well and you’ll see the benefits of running Node.js immediately. By combining the Node.js platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you’ll be able to make use of the full potential of your apps and to enjoy the best achievable performance.
