Node.js is a cutting-edge, event-driven I/O system built for Internet sites which offer live communication. Some examples of such sites would be online browser-based game portals, web-based chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. Node.js handles the info sent between the website and its visitors in little bits, which boosts the load speed and the overall performance of the website significantly. When a given form with 3 boxes should be filled out by a specific user, for instance, normally all three boxes should be filled out and their entire content is then sent as one massive hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed the second it is inserted, before the user writes anything in the second box. Therefore, much more information can be processed a lot faster and more effectively compared to any conventional system, which can have a remarkable impact on the website’s performance. Node.js is already being employed by some of the top IT companies such as Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Web Hosting

Since Node.js is present on our leading-edge cloud platform, you will be able to add it to your hosting account and to utilize it for any web application that you have, regardless of which web hosting package you have selected upon signup. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting accounts, will allow you to pick the number of instances that you’d like to run – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. Several minutes afterwards, you will be able to insert the path to the application, in other words the location of the .js file in your web hosting account, as well as to pick the IP to get access to that file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. In the new Node.js menu that will show up in the Control Panel, you will be able to restart an instance or to discontinue it in case you don’t need it anymore. You’ll also acquire access to the output code with only a mouse click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven software application running in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform is available with all our semi-dedicated server hosting plans and you can order it with just several clicks of the mouse. If you would like to use it for multiple Internet sites, you can activate more instances from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The activation is as easy as indicating the location of your .js file and selecting whether 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’ve got no previous experience with a similar software platform. Our system will also choose a random port number that will be used to access the .js file associated with the particular app. Hepsia has a simple-to-navigate graphical interface that will allow you to reboot and to deactivate any of your running instances, to order new ones or to check your apps’ output with just one click.

As we haven’t imposed any limitation as to the amount of instances that you can activate, you can take full advantage of the power of our virtual servers and combine it with the full potential of the Node.js platform. The setup is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly, point & click interface, so even if you aren’t technically proficient, you will not have to deal with any problems while working with the Node.js platform. You will simply need to enter the path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. Furthermore, our system will also designate a port to access this file and you will be able to find it in the respective section in the Control Panel.

As Hepsia is very easy to use, you’ll be able to make that without experiencing any complications, even if you’ve never worked with Node.js before, since everything that you’ll need to do on your end is define the path to the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP address that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other websites. You can manage as many instances as you need on our ultra-powerful servers and each instance can be managed separately – you’ll be able to start, to reboot or to terminate it, to view the output of the app that uses it, etc. You can do this through the intuitive, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make use of the power of the Node.js platform without effort.
