Node.js is a cutting-edge, open-source, event-driven, input/output system built for sites which offer live communication. Several instances of such sites are web-based browser video game portals, web-based chat rooms or hotel reservation portals. Node.js handles the info transmitted between the site and its visitors in little bits, which boosts the load speed and the performance of the website considerably. If a certain form with 3 boxes is expected to be filled by a particular user, for instance, typically all three boxes should be filled and their entire content is then submitted as one large hunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed once it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second box. In this way, much more information can be processed much faster and more efficiently in comparison to any other system, which can have a considerable influence on the site’s overall performance. Node.js is already being used by many of the leading IT firms such as Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Hosting

If you host an Internet application on our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform and you’d like to try out Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your hosting account regardless of the hosting plan that you use. You can make this via the Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this feature to your account. You’ll be able to choose how many instances you want to add to your account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can indicate the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and select whether the file in question will be reachable through the shared IP address of the server or through a dedicated IP. Our system will also assign a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to shut down or to reboot each instance independently, in case it is required.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get a semi-dedicated server account from us, you’ll be able to make use of the full potential of Node.js with any app that you host on our cloud website hosting platform, because it is available with each and every semi-dedicated hosting plan offered by us. You can add the number of instances, or applications that can use Node.js, through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can manage your account. The only things that you’re expected to do after that will be to indicate the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to pick the IP address that will be used to access this file. You can choose a dedicated IP if you have one, or any of the server’s shared IP addresses. Our system will also assign a randomly generated port. When you have the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to see the output of a given application or to start/reboot/discontinue any of the instances that you have created.

Node.js in VPS Servers

All VPS servers that are ordered with our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel include Node.js by default and you can use the platform for each software application that you run on the Virtual Private Server. As we have not set any limitation as to how many instances you can set up, you can make the most of the power of our VPSs and mix it with the full potential of the Node.js platform. The configuration is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-use, point & click GUI, so even if you are not tech-savvy, you will not encounter any problems while using the platform. You will just have to indicate the folder path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. In addition, our system will also designate a port number to access this file and you will be able to find it in the respective section in the Control Panel. With only one click, you can view the output of your apps and to terminate or to reboot any Node.js instance hosted on the VPS server.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js comes with all dedicated servers on which our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers an incredibly simple and easy-to-navigate interface, so even if you’ve never used Node.js before, you can uncover its true potential in just a few easy steps. Once you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you will need to add the folder path to the respective .js files that will use Node.js and to choose the IP that they’ll use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will designate a randomly generated port number that will be used to access these files. There’s no constraint as to the total amount of instances that you can activate and run simultaneously and you’ll have complete command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to order new ones or to deactivate/restart existing ones, to view the output log for each application, and many others.
