Node.js is an event-driven system built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It is used for scalable applications that need live interaction between a server and the Internet users and can noticeably speed up the overall performance of any website that’s using it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP requests and responses and incessantly provides small amounts of info. For example, if a new user fills out a subscription form, as soon as any information is inserted in any of the boxes, it’s submitted to the server even if the rest of the boxes are not filled out and the user has not clicked on any button, so the information is processed a whole lot faster. In contrast, other platforms wait for the whole form to be filled out and one giant hunk of information is then forwarded to the server. No matter how tiny the difference in the information processing time may be, circumstances change in case the website grows bigger and there’re many individuals using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking websites, real-time web browser-based video games or instant messaging applications, for example, and numerous corporations, including LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already included it in their services.
Node.js in Hosting
You’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js with each hosting package that we offer, since the platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an existing shared account with a few clicks. Once you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you will see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can pick how many instances you wish to get. One instance means that one single application will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your account as you need. A new menu will appear in the Control Panel soon afterwards and to start using Node.js, you will need to specify the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose if the connection will pass through the shared IP of the physical server or through a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to reboot or to turn off an instance and to check any given app’s output.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you buy a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you’ll be able to use the full potential of Node.js with any app that you host on our cloud hosting platform, since it comes with each package that we offer. You can add the number of instances, or apps which can use Node.js, through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can administer your account. The only things that you’ll need do after that will be to enter the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose the IP address that will be used in order to access that file. You can pick a dedicated IP if you’ve got one, or any of the server’s shared IP addresses. Our platform will also specify a randomly generated port. When you have the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to see a given app’s output or to start/restart/stop any of the instances that you have created.
Node.js in VPS Servers
All VPS service that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel offer Node.js as standard and you can use the platform for any web application that you host on the Virtual Private Server. As we have not put any restriction as to the number of Node.js instances that you can get, you can use the power of our VPS servers and mix it with the full potential of the Node.js platform. The setup is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s time and effort saving, point ‘n’ click interface, so even if you’re not tech-savvy, you won’t have to cope with any obstacles while using the Node.js platform. You will only need to enter the directory path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. In addition, our system will also select a port number to access this file and you’ll be able to find it in the corresponding Control Panel section. With only one mouse click, you will be able to see the output of your apps and to discontinue or to reboot any instance running on the Virtual Private Server.

Even if you are not very experienced, you will be able to make use of the Node.js platform, since all you will have to do to activate it is specify the folder path to the .js file and pick the IP address that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared one.
