Node.js is an innovative event-driven system, which is used to build scalable apps. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles requests and responses between a server and an immense number of online users more effectively than any conventional system. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in contrast to conventional platforms which handle the info in giant hunks, it processes everything in little bits. For instance, when a user needs to fill a couple of fields on a site, Node.js handles the info in the first field the second it’s entered, utilizing the server processing time more efficiently. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single user, but it certainly does make a difference if a large number of people are navigating a website at the very same time. Several examples of websites where Node.js can be used are dining booking portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. websites that support fast live interaction.

Node.js in Shared Web Hosting

All shared web hosting that we’re offering include Node.js and you can add this avant-garde platform to your shared web hosting account using the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to pick the number of instances for this upgrade, in other words how many separate platforms/sites will utilize Node.js simultaneously, and you can order as many instances as you wish. The Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to choose the exact path to your .js app and to select if you will use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible via a random port number assigned by our cloud hosting platform. Also, you can stop or restart any instance that you’ve activated, modify the path to the .js app or view the running instances’ output with only a couple of clicks from your hosting Control Panel via a pretty easy-to-navigate GUI.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated servers offer Node.js, so if you want to run any real-time application on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform, you can take advantage of the power that the system can give you with only a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is upgradeable, so if you’d like to use Node.js for multiple web sites, you’ll be able to pick the amount of active instances, one instance being one app. Through the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-work-with GUI, you will need to enter the path to the .js file for each instance and to choose if Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will specify a randomly generated port number to access your app and you’ll see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. Hepsia will also permit you to check the output of any of your apps or to remove/reboot each instance separately.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

You will be able to make use of Node.js with your real-time, script-based applications at no additional fee when you buy any of our dedicated servers and pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel through an easy-to-use GUI, which will allow you to start/stop/reboot any instance or to view the output of the app which uses it with just a click. Even if you’re not very tech-savvy, you will be able to use the Node.js platform, since all you need to do to set it up is include the directory path to the .js file and pick the IP address that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared one. A random port number will be allocated automatically as well and you will notice the advantages of using Node.js instantaneously. By combining the platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to use the full potential of your applications and to enjoy the best achievable performance.
