Node.js is an advanced event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable web apps. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and an enormous number of users more efficiently than any other system. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that unlike traditional platforms which process the info in sizeable chunks, it processes everything in small bits. For example, in case a user needs to fill out several fields on a site, Node.js processes the info in the first field the moment it’s inserted, utilizing the server processing time more efficiently. In contrast, other platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the information from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it certainly does make a difference if an enormous number of people are visiting a site at once. Several examples of Internet sites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner reservation portals, chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, in other words sites that support quick live interaction.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

You can make use of Node.js with each and every cloud hosting package that we’re offering, since the platform is available on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing shared account with a couple of mouse clicks. When you sign in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can select how many instances you want to add. One instance means that one application will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you want. A new menu will show up in the Control Panel shortly after that and to begin using Node.js, you’ll need to include the path to the .js file that will use it and to decide whether the connection will proceed through the shared IP of the server or through a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also allow you to restart or to remove an instance and to see any given app’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server package through us, you’ll be able to make use of the full potential of Node.js with any application that you host on our cloud website hosting platform, since it comes with each plan offered by our company. You can specify the number of instances, or apps that can use Node.js, from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can control your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you will need to do after that will be to indicate the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to pick the IP that will be used to access this file. You can select a dedicated IP if you’ve got one, or any of the server’s shared IP addresses. Our system will also specify a randomly generated port number. With the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to view the output of a given application or to start/restart/discontinue any of the instances that you have added.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

When you decide to buy one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages for your script-based software applications and if you select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page, you will be able to use Node.js at no additional charge, as the platform is built into our custom-developed tool. As our dedicated servers are extremely powerful, you’ll get great performance even if you use numerous Node.js instances simultaneously. The setup requires a few clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s graphical user interface will make it pretty easy for you to set up a new instance even if you have little or no previous experience. Adding the .js file path and choosing a dedicated or a shared IP address will be everything that you will need to do yourself and once our system has set a port to access that file, you’ll be all set. Any of the instances that you’ve created can be restarted or deleted independently and you will acquire access to an elaborate output log for each app that uses Node.js.
