Node.js is a cutting-edge, open-source, event-driven, asynchronous input/output system designed for websites which offer live communication. Some examples of such sites are online browser game portals, online chat rooms or hotel booking portals. Node.js handles the info exchanged between the Internet site and its visitors in little bits, which accelerates the load speed and the overall performance of the website significantly. When some form with 3 boxes has to be filled by a particular user, for example, normally all three boxes should be filled out and their entire content is then delivered as one massive chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed once it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second box. Thus, much more info can be processed much faster and more effectively as opposed to any conventional platform, which can exert a serious influence on the overall performance of the website. Node.js is already being used by some of the largest IT companies such as Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Cloud Web Hosting

When you host an Internet application on our avant-garde cloud platform and you’d like to try Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your web hosting account regardless of the cloud web hosting package that you’re using. You can make this through the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to use Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You will be able to select how many instances you want to add to your 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 insert the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose whether that file will be reachable through the server’s shared IP or via a dedicated one. Our platform will also allocate a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to shut down or to reboot each instance independently, if it’s necessary.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based application hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform is offered with all our semi-dedicated packages and you can enable it with only a few mouse clicks. If you’d like to use it for multiple web sites, you can order more instances through the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The configuration is as simple as adding the location of your .js file and choosing if Node.js should use a dedicated IP address or any of the server’s shared IPs, so you can take advantage of Node.js even if you do not have any previous experience with such software. Our system will also assign a randomly generated port number which will be used to access the .js file associated with the given application. Hepsia has an easy-to-navigate interface that will permit you to reboot and to remove any of your existing instances, to get new ones or to see the output of your apps with just a click.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js comes bundled with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-managed VPS hosting plans that we’re offering and you can activate it without coming across any problem, even if you have not used it beforehand, since Hepsia has an easy-to-use, point-and-click graphical interface, which will allow you to do anything effortlessly. The platform can be used for as many script-powered software apps as you need, so you can make the most of your sites by mixing the power of our virtual servers with the performance provided by the Node.js platform. You will need to enter the location of the .js file in your VPS account and to choose if it will use a dedicated IP address or your server’s shared IP and you’ll be all set. The file can be accessed using a port that our system will assign randomly when you add a new Node.js instance. The Hepsia Control Panel will grant you full control over all instances and, with only one mouse click, you will be able to start, to discontinue or to reboot them, as well as to check the output of each application that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-driven web apps at no additional cost in case you acquire any of our Linux dedicated servers and pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section through an easy-to-use graphical interface, which will enable you to start/discontinue/restart any instance or to check the output of the app that uses it with just a click. Even if you aren’t very tech-savvy, you will be able to make use of the platform, as all you will have to do to set it up is add the location of the .js file and select the IP that will be used to access the latter – a shared or a dedicated IP. A randomly generated port number will be designated automatically as well and you will see the benefits of using Node.js momentarily. By combining Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to take advantage of the full capacity of your apps and to get the best possible performance.
