Node.js is an event-driven runtime environment built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable web applications that need live interaction between a web server and the online users and can tremendously boost the overall performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly supplies little amounts of info. For example, if a new user fills a registration form, the second any information is entered in any of the boxes, it’s forwarded to the server even if the rest of the boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the info is handled a whole lot faster. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one large chunk of information is then delivered to the server. Irrespective of how little the difference in the information processing time may be, things change if the site expands and there’re many individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for online reservation portals, real-time browser-based video games or online chat platforms, for example, and plenty of companies, including eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already implemented it in their services.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting

As Node.js is present on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your shared account and to utilize it for any web-based app that you have, irrespective of which cloud website hosting plan you have picked at signup. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with all shared web hosting accounts, will allow you to select the number of instances that you would like to use – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes afterwards, you can specify the path to the application, i.e. the location of the .js file in your shared hosting account, as well as to choose the IP address to get access to the file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to reboot an instance or to deactivate it in case you no longer want it. You will also acquire access to the output code with only one click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can use all the benefits that the Node.js event-driven platform has, due to the fact that it’s available with all our semi-dedicated plans and you are able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the account administration tool that is included with each and every semi-dedicated server. In case you want to employ Node.js for multiple web-based applications, you can select the amount of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your semi-dedicated plan. Then, you will need to insert the path to the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel after you order the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also select whether the access path to the specific app will go through a dedicated IP address – in case you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP. Each and every instance that you activate can be restarted or cancelled separately and you can see the output of your applications with just several mouse clicks.

All Linux VPS web hosting that are ordered with our tailor-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel offer Node.js by default and you can use the platform for any web application that you run on the Virtual Private Server. Since we haven’t imposed a limitation as to how many instances you can run, you can make use of the power of our virtual servers and mix it with the full potential of the Node.js platform. The setup is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate, point-and-click graphical interface, so even if you aren’t technically experienced, you will not encounter any impediments while using the platform. You will simply need to specify the path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. Furthermore, our system will also allocate a port to access the file and you will be able to find it in the respective section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With only one click of the mouse, you will be able to see the output of your apps and to deactivate or to reboot any instance running on the VPS server.

The setup takes a few clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s interface will make it really easy for you to set up a new Node.js instance even if you’ve got little or no previous experience. Inserting the .js file path and selecting a shared or a dedicated IP will be everything that you will have to do on your end and as soon as our system has specified a port number to access that file, you’ll be all set. Any of the instances that you’ve created can be rebooted or shut down separately and you will get access to a comprehensive output log for each app that uses the Node.js platform.
