Node.js is a cutting-edge, open-source, event-driven, I/O system built for websites which offer interactive communication. Several examples of such sites would be online browser-based game portals, web-based chat rooms or hotel reservation portals. The platform processes the information transmitted between the Internet site and its users in tiny bits, which enhances the load speed and the overall performance of the website tremendously. If some form with three boxes is expected to be filled by a user, for example, normally all three boxes should be filled out and the whole 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 the second it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second one. Thus, a lot more info can be processed much faster and more effectively in comparison to any traditional system, which can have a significant impact on the website’s overall performance. Node.js is already being used by some of the largest IT companies like Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting

As Node.js is present on our innovative cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared account and to use it for any web application that you have, regardless of which cloud website hosting package you have selected during the subscription process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared website hosting account, will permit you to choose the number of instances that you would like to use – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes after that, you can add the path to the application, i.e. where the .js file will be located in your account, as well as to choose the IP address to get access to that file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Control Panel, you’ll be able to reboot an instance or to terminate it if you don’t want it any longer. You’ll also be granted access to the output code with only a click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered software app running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform comes with all our semi-dedicated server hosting plans and you can set it up with just several clicks of the mouse. If you wish to use it for different websites, you can order more instances from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The activation is as easy as choosing the path to your .js file and choosing if the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses, so you can take advantage of Node.js even if you don’t have any previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also allocate a random port which will be used to access the .js file associated with the particular app. Hepsia has a simple-to-use graphical interface that will permit you to restart and to remove any of your existing instances, to create new ones or to view your apps’ output with just one single click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

All VPS servers that are ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with Node.js by default and you can take advantage of the event-driven platform for each script-based software application that you run on the Virtual Private Server. As we haven’t set a limitation as to the number of Node.js instances that you can run, you can take full advantage of the power of our virtual servers and mix it with the full potential of the Node.js platform. The setup is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s time and effort saving, point-and-click interface, so even if you are not tech-savvy, you won’t need to cope with any difficulties while working with the Node.js platform. You will simply have to include the directory 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 address. Furthermore, our system will also set a port to access the file and you’ll be able to find it in the respective section in the Control Panel. With just a click, you can see your applications’ output and to remove or to restart any Node.js instance running on the VPS server.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to order one of our Linux dedicated servers for your script-powered software apps and if you pick the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you’ll be able to make use of Node.js at no extra charge, as the event-driven platform is incorporated into our custom-built tool. As our dedicated servers are amazingly powerful, you will enjoy great performance even if you make use of lots of Node.js instances at once. The configuration requires a couple of clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s interface will make it quite easy for you to set up a new instance even if you’ve got little or no previous experience. Defining the .js file path and selecting 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 that file, you will be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you have created can be rebooted or deactivated independently and you will be provided with access to an elaborate output log for each app that uses Node.js.
