Node.js is an innovative, open-source, event-driven, asynchronous input/output system designed for websites that offer real-time communication. Some examples of such sites are web-based browser video game portals, web-based chat rooms or hotel booking portals. Node.js processes the info transmitted between the website and its users in tiny bits, which improves the load speed and the performance of the website tremendously. When some form with three boxes has to be filled by a particular user, for instance, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled out and the whole content is then submitted as one giant hunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed the moment it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second one. Therefore, much more info can be processed much faster and more effectively in contrast with any conventional system, which can have a great influence on the performance of the site. Node.js is already being employed by many of the biggest IT corporations like Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting

When you host an Internet app on our avant-garde cloud platform and you want to try Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your web hosting account regardless of the cloud website hosting package that you are using. This can be done through the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You’ll be able to select the number of instances that you wish to add to the account – one instance means that one application will be using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can add the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose if the file in question will be reachable via the server’s shared IP or via a dedicated one. Our system will also allocate a port for the connection. You will be able to shut down or to reboot each instance separately, in case it’s needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you buy a semi-dedicated server account through our company, you will be able to take advantage of the full potential of Node.js with any web application that you host on our cloud platform, since it is available with each package that we’re offering. You can add the number of instances, or applications which can use Node.js, through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can control your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you’re expected to do after that will be to specify the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to choose the IP address that will be used in order to access that file. You can select a dedicated IP if you’ve got one, or any of the physical server’s shared IPs. Our platform will also select a randomly generated port number. Using the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you will be able to see a given app’s output or to start/reboot/stop any of the instances that you’ve created.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js is offered as standard with each and every VPS server that comes with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and involves no constraints with regard to the number of sites that can use it at any particular moment. This makes our Virtual Private Server packages an excellent option for hosting numerous real-time script-driven apps and for taking full advantage of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is intuitive enough even for individuals without any previous experience, so if you would like to enable Node.js for any app, it won’t take more than a couple of clicks of the mouse to do it. You’ll only have to insert the folder path to the given .js file and to choose if Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP or a dedicated IP. Our platform will also set a particular port that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you will be all set and ready to make use of the full potential of your real-time apps. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to view the output of the applications and to restart or to discontinue any of your instances using quick-access buttons.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to buy any of our dedicated servers for your script-powered applications and if you pick the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you’ll be able to use Node.js at no additional charge, as the event-driven platform is built into our custom-developed Control Panel tool. As our dedicated servers are amazingly powerful, you’ll enjoy great performance even if you run lots of Node.js instances simultaneously. The configuration takes several mouse clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s GUI will make it exceptionally easy for you to activate a new Node.js instance even if you’ve got little or no prior experience. Indicating the .js file path and choosing a shared or a dedicated IP will be everything that you will have to do on your end and once our system has set a port to access that file, you’ll be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you have activated can be restarted or discontinued independently and you’ll be provided with access to an elaborate output log for each app that uses Node.js.
