Node.js is an event-driven system, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used by scalable web applications that require live interaction between a server and the worldwide web users and can noticeably speed up the overall performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP web requests and responses and constantly supplies small bits of information. For instance, if a new user fills out a registration form, as soon as any information is inserted in any of the boxes, it’s submitted to the server even if the remaining boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the info is processed a whole lot faster. In comparison, traditional systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one sizeable hunk of information is then submitted to the server. No matter how small the difference in the processing time may be, things change when the website expands and there are many users using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking sites, interactive browser-based video games or live chat clients, for example, and plenty of corporations, among them eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already included it in their services.

Node.js in Web Hosting

You can make use of Node.js with each and every web hosting plan that we’re offering, as the platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an active hosting account with a couple of clicks. When you log into your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can select the number of instances that you’d like to activate. One instance means that one single app will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your hosting account as you need. A new menu will show up in the Control Panel soon afterwards and to begin using Node.js, you will have to define the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select if the connection will go through the server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to restart or to remove an instance and to view any given app’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting offer Node.js, so in case you would like to run any real-time app on our innovative cloud platform, you can make use of the power that the system can give you with just several mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. This feature is upgradeable, so if you would like to use Node.js for multiple websites, you will be able to choose the number of running instances, one instance being one app. Through Hepsia’s user-friendly GUI, you’ll have to enter the location of the .js file for every instance and to choose whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared IP. Our cloud platform will allocate a randomly generated port number to access your application and you’ll see it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. Hepsia will also enable you to check the output of each of your apps or to discontinue/reboot each instance separately.

You have to specify the directory path to the .js file in your account and to select whether it will use a dedicated IP address or your virtual server’s shared one and you’ll be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port that our system will assign randomly when you set up a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will grant you total control over all Node.js instances and, with only one mouse click, you’ll be able to start, to stop or to reboot them, as well as to see the output of each application that uses the platform.

The setup takes a few mouse clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s GUI will make it very easy for you to activate a new Node.js instance even if you have little or no previous experience.
