Node.js is an event-driven platform, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable web apps that require live interaction between a web server and the Internet users and can significantly speed up the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP requests and responses and incessantly delivers little amounts of info. For example, if a new user fills out a signup form, the second any info is entered in one of the fields, it is sent to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled and the user has not clicked on any button, so the information is processed much faster. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one massive chunk of information is then forwarded to the server. No matter how little the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change if the site expands and there are many individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking portals, real-time web browser-based video games or web-based chat platforms, for instance, and a lot of companies, among them Yahoo, eBay and LinkedIn, have already integrated it into their services.

Node.js in Cloud Web Hosting

You can use Node.js with every cloud web hosting plan that we are offering, as the event-driven platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an existing shared hosting account with a couple of mouse clicks. After you sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can choose how many instances you wish to order. One instance means that one application will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your account as you wish. A new section will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel soon afterwards and to start using Node.js, you’ll have to indicate the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose if the connection should proceed through the shared IP address of the server or through a dedicated one. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to reboot or to shut down an instance and to check the output of any given app.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our semi-dedicated hosting offer Node.js, so in case you’d like to host any real-time app on our avant-garde cloud platform, you’ll be able to take advantage of the power that the system can give you with just a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is upgradeable, so in case you would like to use Node.js for multiple websites, you’ll be able to pick the amount of running instances, one instance being one application. Through Hepsia’s intuitive interface, you’ll have to specify the location of the .js file for every instance and to choose whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will select a random port to access your app and you will find it in the corresponding Control Panel section. Hepsia will also enable you to view the output of any of your applications or to stop/restart each instance independently.

Node.js in VPS

All Linux VPS that are ordered with our tailor-made Hepsia Control Panel offer Node.js as standard and you can take full advantage of the platform for any script-driven web application that you run on the VPS. Since we have not imposed any limitation as to the number of Node.js instances that you can add, you can make the most of the power of our servers and combine it with the full capacity of Node.js. The configuration is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate, point ‘n’ click interface, so even if you aren’t technically experienced, you won’t need to deal with any impediments while working with the platform. You’ll only have to enter the folder path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. In addition, our system will also specify a port number to access the file and you will be able to see it in the corresponding section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With just one click of the mouse, you will be able to view your applications’ output and to cancel or to reboot any instance running on the VPS.

Node.js in Dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-powered web apps at no additional cost if you get one of our dedicated hosting services and pick the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel through a user-friendly GUI, which will enable you to start/delete/restart any instance or to check the output of the application which uses it with only one mouse click. Even if you aren’t very experienced, you’ll be able to use the platform, as all you have to do to activate it is insert the directory path to the .js file and select the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a dedicated or a shared IP. A random port will be allocated automatically too and you will see the advantages of running Node.js right away. By mixing Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to make use of the full potential of your apps and to enjoy the best possible performance.
