Node.js is an event-driven runtime system built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable web applications that require real-time communication between a web server and the Internet users and can substantially speed up the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly delivers little amounts of info. For example, if a new user fills a subscription form, the second any info is inserted in any of the fields, it’s delivered to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the info is handled a lot faster. In contrast, traditional systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one sizeable hunk of information is then forwarded to the server. Regardless of how small the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change if the site expands and there’re lots of individuals using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by booking websites, real-time browser-based video games or online chat applications, for example, and numerous companies, including eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already integrated it into their services.

Node.js in Website Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js with each website hosting plan that we offer, since the platform is available on our cloud servers and can be added to an active web hosting account with a couple of mouse clicks. Once you log into your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can select how many instances you would like to get. One instance means that one single app will use Node.js and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you want. A new section will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel soon afterwards and to begin using Node.js, you’ll have to insert the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to decide if the connection should go through the physical server’s shared IP or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to reboot or to delete an instance and to view any given app’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you acquire a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you’ll be able to make use of the full potential of Node.js with any web app that you host on our cloud website hosting platform, due to the fact that it’s included with each package that we are offering. You can indicate the number of instances, or applications that can use Node.js, from the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can manage your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you’re expected to do after that will be to insert the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to pick the IP address that will be used in order to access this file. You can choose a dedicated IP if you’ve got one, or any of the server’s shared IPs. Our platform will also choose a random port number. When you have the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you can see a given application’s output or to start/reboot/terminate any of the instances that you have added.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js comes with all dedicated web hosting plans that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you’ll be able to take full advantage of the platform as soon as your machine is set up. Since Hepsia is rather intuitive, you’ll be able to make that without experiencing any obstacles, even if you’ve never used the Node.js platform before, as everything that you’ll have to do on your end is define the location of the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and the IP that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other Internet sites. You can set up as many instances as you want on our incredibly powerful servers and each of them can be controlled separately – you will be able to start, to restart or to terminate it, to view the output of the app that uses it, etc. You can do this via the easy-to-work-with, point & click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take full advantage of the power of Node.js with no effort.
