Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable Internet apps. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a server and an enormous number of online users more effectively than any traditional system. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in difference between conventional systems which handle the information in massive hunks, it handles everything in small bits. For instance, in case a user has to fill in a few fields on a website, Node.js handles the info from the first field once it’s inserted, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In contrast, conventional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it undoubtedly does make a difference when an enormous number of users are visiting a site simultaneously. Several instances of websites where Node.js can be applied are online dinner reservation portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. sites that support fast live interaction.

Node.js in Hosting

You will be able to take advantage of Node.js with every hosting plan offered by our company, since the event-driven platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an active shared account with a few mouse clicks. When you sign in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can choose the number of instances that you want to get. One instance means that one single app will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your website hosting account as you wish. A new section will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly afterwards and to begin using Node.js, you’ll have to define the path to the .js file that will use it and to choose whether the connection will pass through the server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to restart or to deactivate an instance and to view the output of any given app.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

This feature is upgradeable, so if you want to use Node.js for multiple Internet sites, you will be able to pick the amount of active instances, one instance being one application. Using Hepsia’s easy-to-work-with graphical interface, you will need to enter the location of the .js file for every instance and to select if Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will set a random port to access your application and you’ll see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. The Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to check the output of any of your applications or to cancel/reboot each instance separately.

Node.js in VPS Servers

The platform will have its own section where you can set it up with several clicks of the mouse even if you haven’t got any experience with such a software platform, as Hepsia is incredibly intuitive and simple to work with. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to specify the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your VPS’s shared IP address. A randomly generated access port will be set automatically too. There won’t be any restrictions on the number of the sites that can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our VPS servers for many sites and enjoy an astonishing overall performance. Fast-access links in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will allow you to start, to terminate or to restart any Node.js instance separately and to view their output.

Since our dedicated servers are amazingly powerful, you’ll enjoy great results even if you manage multiple Node.js instances simultaneously. The setup takes several clicks and Hepsia’s interface will make it exceptionally easy for you to activate a new instance even if you have little or no prior experience. Entering the path to the .js file and choosing a dedicated or a shared IP address will be everything that you’ll have to do yourself and once our system has selected a port number to access the .js file, you will be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you have created can be rebooted or shut down independently and you will get access to an in-depth output log for each app that uses Node.js.
