Node.js is an avant-garde, open-source, event-driven, I/O system used for Internet sites that support live communication. Several examples of such websites would be web-based browser game portals, online chat rooms or hotel reservation portals. Node.js processes the info transmitted between the site and its visitors in little bits, which improves the load speed and the overall performance of the website substantially. When a certain form with 3 boxes has to be filled out by a specific user, for instance, normally all three boxes should be filled and the entire content is then delivered as one giant hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed once it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second box. Thus, much more information can be handled much faster and more effectively in contrast with any conventional system, which can exert a serious impact on the website’s performance. Node.js is already being employed by some of the top IT firms like Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Shared Website Hosting

When you host a web app on our advanced cloud website hosting platform and you’d like to try out Node.js, you will be able to add it to your account irrespective of the shared website hosting package that you’re using. You can make this from the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this service to your account. You’ll be able to select how many instances you’d like to add to your account – one instance means one app using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can indicate the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose if that file will be reachable through the shared IP address of the server or via a dedicated IP. Our platform will also allocate a port for the connection. You will be able to disable or to restart each instance separately, in case it’s needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server account from us, you’ll be able to use the full potential of Node.js with any Internet app that you host on our cloud hosting platform, since it’s available with each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we’re offering. You can add the number of instances, or apps which can use Node.js, via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can control your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you’re expected to do after that will be to indicate the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose the IP that will be used in order to access this file. You can choose a dedicated IP address if you have one, or any of the server’s shared IP addresses. Our platform will also select a random port number. Using the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to see the output of a given app or to start/reboot/remove any of the instances that you’ve activated.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

Node.js is offered by default with each and every virtual private server that is ordered with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and involves no restrictions as to the number of Internet sites that can use it at any given moment. This makes our VPS packages an ideal option for running multiple real-time Internet apps and for getting the most out of each of them. Hepsia is intuitive enough even for people without any previous experience, so if you’d like to set up Node.js for any application, it will not take more than several clicks of the mouse to make this. You’ll just need to indicate the folder path to the specific .js file and to select whether Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP or a dedicated IP. Our system will also choose a certain port that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you’ll be all set and ready to use the full potential of your real-time apps. The Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to see the output of the applications and to reboot or to remove any of your instances using quick-access controls.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

Node.js is available with all Linux dedicated web hosting on which our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter has an amazingly intuitive and easy-to-use interface, so even if you haven’t worked with the Node.js platform before, you’ll be able to uncover its true potential in only a couple of simple steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you will have to specify the directory path to the specific .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to pick the IP address that they will use (shared or dedicated), while our system will set a random port number that will be used to access the files in question. There isn’t any limit as to the total number of Node.js instances that you can create and use at the same time and you will exert complete command over them via the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to activate new ones or to deactivate/reboot existing ones, to review the output log for each app, etc.
