Node.js is an event-driven environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable applications that need live interaction between a server and the online users and can tremendously accelerate the overall performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly supplies little amounts of info. For instance, if a new user fills a registration form, the second any information is inserted in any of the fields, it’s sent to the server even if the remaining boxes are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the info is processed a whole lot faster. In contrast, traditional systems wait for the whole form to be filled and one huge hunk of information is then forwarded to the server. Regardless of how small the difference in the information processing speed may be, circumstances change in case the website expands and there’re numerous individuals using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by booking sites, interactive browser games or online chat software, for instance, and many corporations, among them LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already incorporated it into their services.

Node.js in Cloud Web Hosting

If you host an Internet application on our advanced cloud hosting platform and you would like to try Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your hosting account irrespective of the cloud web hosting plan that you’re using. This can be done from the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to use Node.js in no more than a couple of 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 that one app will be using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can insert the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and select whether that file will be reachable via the physical server’s shared IP address or through a dedicated IP. Our platform will also assign a port number for the connection. You will be able to terminate or to restart each instance separately, if it’s required.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can make use of all the benefits that the Node.js platform is offering, as it’s comes with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and you’re 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 administration tool that’s included with every semi-dedicated server. If you would like to use Node.js for different web apps, you can choose the number of instances that the platform will use when you’re adding this feature to your plan. After that, you will need to enter the location of the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel after you add the upgrade and during the process, you can also select whether the access path to the given application should go through a dedicated IP – in case you have one, or through the server’s shared IP. Each instance that you add can be rebooted or removed independently and you can view your applications’ output with only a few clicks of the mouse.

The platform can be used for as many script-driven applications as you need, so you can get the most out of your websites by combining the power of our virtual machines with the performance that the Node.js platform provides. You need to define the directory path to the .js file within your VPS account and to choose whether it will use a dedicated IP address or your virtual server’s shared IP and you’ll be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port number that our system will assign randomly when you set up a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will give you complete control over all Node.js instances and, with just a click, you’ll be able to start, to remove or to reboot them, as well as to view the output of each application that uses the Node.js platform.

The Node.js instances can be managed from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section via a simple-to-use interface, which will enable you to start/remove/reboot any instance or to view the output of the app which uses it with just one mouse click. Even if you’re not very experienced, you’ll be able to use the platform, as all you have to do to activate it is insert the directory path to the .js file and select the IP address that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared one.
