Node.js is an event-driven environment built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable apps that need real-time interaction between a web server and the worldwide web users and can substantially improve the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and constantly delivers little amounts of information. For instance, in case a new user fills out a registration form, as soon as any information is entered in any of the fields, it is forwarded to the server even if the remaining boxes are not filled and the user has not clicked any button, so the info is handled a whole lot faster. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one giant chunk of information is then sent to the server. No matter how little the difference in the processing speed may be, things change when the Internet site expands and there are numerous people using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for online booking portals, interactive browser-based video games or web-based chat portals, for instance, and many companies, including LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already incorporated it into their services.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

When you host an Internet application on our innovative cloud platform and you’d like to try out Node.js, you will be able to add it to your web hosting account irrespective of the cloud hosting plan that you use. 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 a couple of minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You’ll be able to select how many instances you want to add to your account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can define the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and choose whether the file in question will be reachable via the server’s shared IP address or through a dedicated one. Our system will also assign a port number for the connection. You will be able to delete or to reboot each instance separately, if needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered application hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform is included with all our packages and you can activate it with just a few clicks. In case you want to use it for different Internet sites, you can order more instances from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The setup is as easy as including the path to your .js file and selecting if Node.js should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses, so you can take advantage of Node.js even if you do not have any previous experience with such software. Our system will also specify a randomly generated port number which will be used to access the .js file associated with the particular application. Hepsia has a user-friendly graphical interface that will allow you to restart and to deactivate any of your active instances, to order new ones or to check your applications’ output with just one click.

You’ll only need to include the folder path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. Furthermore, our system will also select a port number to access the file and you’ll be able to find it in the respective Control Panel section. With only one click, you can check the output of your apps and to discontinue or to restart any instance running on the VPS.

Even if you aren’t very tech-savvy, you’ll be able to use the Node.js platform, since all you need to do to activate it is include the folder path to the .js file and choose the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated one.
