Node.js is a cutting-edge, event-driven asynchronous input/output system meant for sites that offer live communication. Some examples of such sites would be online browser video game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. The platform processes the information sent between the website and its visitors in small bits, which improves the load speed and the performance of the site significantly. If a given form with three boxes has to be filled out by a specific user, for instance, typically all three boxes should be filled out and the whole content is then forwarded as one large hunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed the second it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second one. Thus, much more info can be processed much faster and more effectively as opposed to any conventional platform, which can exert a huge influence on the site’s performance. Node.js is already being used by some of the top IT companies like Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Web Hosting

When you host an Internet app on our innovative cloud platform and you would like to try out Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your account regardless of the web hosting plan that you’re using. You can make this from the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to use Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this feature to your account. You can choose the number of instances that you want to add to the account – one instance means one app using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can include the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose whether the file in question will be accessible via the shared IP of the server or via a dedicated IP. Our system will also set a port number for the connection. You will be able to cancel or to reboot each instance independently, in case it’s necessary.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can use all the advantages that the Node.js platform offers, since it is available with all our semi-dedicated packages and you are able to add it to your account with a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated account management tool that comes with each semi-dedicated server. In case you wish to employ Node.js for multiple web applications, you can select the amount of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this service to your plan. Then, you’ll have to specify the location of the .js file in your account for each instance. This can be done in the new section that will appear in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and during the process, you can also choose if the access path to the given app will go through a dedicated IP – if you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP. Each and every instance that you add can be rebooted or stopped separately and you can see your applications’ output with just several clicks of the mouse.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You’ll be able to make use of the Node.js platform with your real-time, script-powered software apps at no additional cost in case you order any of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages and pick the Hepsia Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section via a simple-to-use graphical interface, which will allow you to start/deactivate/reboot any Node.js instance or to check the output of the app which uses it with only one mouse click. Even if you are not very tech-savvy, you’ll be able to make use of the platform, as all you need to do to activate it is define the location of the .js file and select the IP address that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared one. A random port will be allocated automatically too and you’ll see the benefits of running Node.js momentarily. By mixing the Node.js platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to use the full capacity of your apps and to enjoy the best conceivable performance.
