Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable Internet apps. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a web server and a large number of Internet users much more efficiently than any other system. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in difference between traditional platforms that handle the info in large hunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For instance, in case a user has to fill out a couple of fields on an Internet site, Node.js handles the info from the first field once it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more efficiently. In comparison, 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 person, but it certainly does make a difference if an enormous number of individuals are browsing a site at the same time. A few instances of websites where Node.js can be employed are dining booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. sites that need quick live communication.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based software application hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform is offered with all our semi-dedicated server hosting plans and you can add it with only a couple of clicks of the mouse. In case you’d like to use it for different web sites, you can activate more instances through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The configuration is as simple as inserting the folder path to your .js file and choosing whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared IP addresses, so you can use Node.js even if you don’t have any previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also specify a random port number that will be used to access the .js file associated with the given app. Hepsia has a simple-to-navigate GUI that will permit you to restart and to terminate any of your running instances, to create new ones or to check the output of your apps with just one click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can set it up with a few clicks of the mouse even if you haven’t got any experience with similar software, since Hepsia is extremely intuitive and simple to use. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to add the folder path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your VPS’s shared IP address. A random access port will be designated automatically too. There won’t be any restrictions on how many websites can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our Virtual Private Servers for many sites and enjoy a magnificent overall performance. Quick-access controls in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will permit you to start, to remove or to restart any instance separately and to view their output.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

You will be able to make use of Node.js with your real-time, script-driven software applications at no additional fee if you buy any of our dedicated service and select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel via an easy-to-navigate graphical interface, which will enable you to start/deactivate/restart any Node.js instance or to view the output of the app that uses it with just a click. Even if you’re not very experienced, you will be able to make use of the Node.js platform, since all you need to do to set it up is define the directory path to the .js file and pick the IP that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared one. A random port will be selected automatically as well and you will notice the advantages of using Node.js momentarily. By mixing the platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to make the most of the full capacity of your apps and to get the best possible performance.
