Node.js is an event-driven platform, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It is used for scalable web applications that need live interaction between a server and the Internet users and can tremendously improve the overall performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP web requests and responses and constantly delivers small amounts of info. For instance, if a new user fills a registration form, as soon as any information is entered in any of the fields, it’s submitted to the server even if the remaining boxes are not filled and the user has not clicked any button, so the information is processed a lot faster. In contrast, traditional platforms wait for the entire form to be filled and one sizeable chunk of information is then sent to the server. Irrespective of how small the difference in the information processing time may be, things change when the website expands and there are a lot of persons using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by booking sites, real-time web browser games or web-based chat platforms, for example, and plenty of corporations, among them Yahoo, LinkedIn and eBay, have already integrated it into their services.

Node.js in Hosting

As Node.js is present on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your shared web hosting account and to utilize it for any web application that you’ve got, regardless of which hosting package you’ve chosen during the signup process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all web hosting accounts, will allow you to select the number of instances that you would like to add – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A few minutes afterwards, you can specify the path to the application, i.e. the location of the .js file in your hosting account, as well as to choose the IP to gain access to the file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will show up in the Control Panel, you’ll be able to restart an instance or to shut it down in case you no longer need it. You’ll also have access to the output code with only a single click of the mouse.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can use all the advantages that the Node.js platform has, as it is available with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and you’re able to add it to your account with several clicks from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server management tool that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server. If you’d like to employ Node.js for multiple web applications, you can choose the amount of instances which the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your plan. Then, you will need to specify the path to the .js file in your account for each instance. This can be done in the new section that will appear in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also select whether the path to the particular app will go through a dedicated IP – in case you’ve got one, or through the physical server’s shared IP. Each instance that you activate can be restarted or deactivated independently and you can view your applications’ output with only several clicks.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

You can use Node.js with each of the Linux VPS web hosting that we are offering if you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can set it up with a few mouse clicks even if you do not have any experience with a similar software platform, as Hepsia is quite intuitive and user-friendly. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to insert the folder path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP address. A randomly generated access port will be designated automatically too. There won’t be any restrictions on the number of the Internet sites that can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our Virtual Private Servers for plenty of sites and enjoy an impressive performance. Quick-access menus in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will permit you to start, to delete or to reboot any instance independently and to check their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You’ll be able to make use of the Node.js platform with your real-time, script-based applications at no additional fee when you acquire one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting and pick the Hepsia Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section via a simple-to-navigate GUI, which will enable you to start/terminate/restart any Node.js instance or to see the output of the application which uses it with only one click of the mouse. Even if you are not very tech-savvy, you’ll be able to make use of the platform, as all you will have 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 one. A random port number will be selected automatically too and you’ll notice the benefits of using Node.js momentarily. By mixing Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you’ll be able to use the full capacity of your apps and to enjoy the best conceivable performance.
