Node.js is an open-source, 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 online users and can noticeably enhance the overall performance of any site that’s using it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP web requests and responses and constantly delivers small amounts of information. For example, in case a new user fills a signup form, the moment any info is inserted in any of the fields, it’s sent to the server even if the other boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the info is handled much faster. In contrast, other systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one massive hunk of information is then delivered to the server. Irrespective of how little the difference in the information processing speed may be, things change in case the Internet site expands and there are a lot of individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for online reservation portals, real-time browser games or web-based chat clients, for instance, and plenty of corporations, including eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already implemented it in their services.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

All Linux shared hosting packages that we offer come with Node.js and you’re able to add this leading-edge event-driven platform to your hosting account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. You can select the amount of instances for this specific upgrade, i.e. how many different websites/platforms will utilize Node.js at once, and you can order as many instances as you want. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to specify the exact location of your .js app and to choose whether you will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a randomly generated port chosen by our cloud hosting system. On top of that, you can stop or reboot any instance that you’ve created, change the path to the .js app or see the output of the active instances with just several clicks of the mouse from your hosting Control Panel using an extremely easy-to-use GUI.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server package through our company, you’ll be able to take advantage of the full capacity of Node.js with any app that you host on our cloud hosting platform, because it’s available with each semi-dedicated server plan offered by our company. You can specify the number of instances, or apps that can use Node.js, via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can administer your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you will have to do after that will be to indicate the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select the IP that will be used in order to access that file. You can select a dedicated IP in case you’ve got one, or any of the server’s shared IPs. Our platform will also designate a random port. With the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you’re able to check the output of a given app or to start/reboot/stop any of the instances that you’ve created.

Node.js in VPS Web Hosting

All Linux VPS web hosting packages that are ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel include Node.js as standard and you can take full advantage of this event-driven platform for each script-driven application that you run on the VPS. Since we haven’t put any limitation as to how many instances you can add, you can make use of the power of our VPS servers and combine it with the full capacity of the Node.js platform. The configuration is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-work-with, point-and-click GUI, so even if you aren’t technically proficient, you will not come across any obstacles while working with the platform. You will just need to enter the folder path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. Furthermore, our system will also choose a port to access the file and you will be able to find it in the corresponding section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With only one mouse click, you’ll be able to check the output of your applications and to cancel or to reboot any Node.js instance hosted on the VPS.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you decide to get any of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages for your script-powered web apps and if you pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page, you’ll be able to use Node.js at no additional cost, as this platform is built into our in-house developed Control Panel tool. Since our dedicated servers are exceptionally powerful, you’ll get great performance even if you host plenty of Node.js instances simultaneously. The configuration takes a couple of clicks of the mouse and the Hepsia Control Panel’s user interface will make it really easy for you to set up a new Node.js instance even if you have little or no prior experience. Entering the path to the .js file and selecting a dedicated or a shared IP will be everything that you will have to do on your end and as soon as our system has allocated a port number to access that file, you will be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you’ve activated can be rebooted or removed separately and you’ll be granted with access to an in-depth output log for each of the apps that use Node.js.
