Node.js is an advanced, open-source, event-driven, asynchronous I/O system built for websites which support interactive communication. Several instances of such sites are online browser-based video game portals, online chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. Node.js handles the info transmitted between the website and its visitors in small bits, which boosts the speed and the performance of the site tremendously. When some form with three boxes should be filled out by a particular user, for example, usually all three boxes should be filled out and their entire content is then forwarded as one massive chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed as soon as it is inserted, before the user writes anything in the second box. Thus, much more info can be handled a lot faster and more effectively compared to any other platform, which can exert an immense impact on the performance of the site. Node.js is already being employed by some of the top IT corporations like Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting

Since Node.js is available on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your account and to use it for any web-based application that you’ve got, irrespective of which cloud website hosting plan you’ve selected during the subscription process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes bundled with all accounts, will allow you to select the number of instances that you want to order – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. Several minutes afterwards, you will be able to indicate the path to the application, in other words the location of the .js file in your web hosting account, as well as to pick the IP to access that file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Control Panel, you will be able to reboot an instance or to terminate it in case you no longer want it. You’ll also acquire access to the output code with just one mouse click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can use all the benefits that the Node.js platform offers, because it’s is included with all our plans and you’re able to add it to your account with a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server administration tool that’s included with each and every semi-dedicated server. If you wish to employ Node.js for multiple web-based applications, you can choose the amount of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this service to your plan. Then, you’ll need to indicate the location of the .js file in your account for each instance. You can do this in the new section that will appear in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also choose whether the path to the specific application should go through a dedicated IP – in case you’ve got one, or through the server’s shared IP address. Each and every instance that you run can be rebooted or discontinued separately and you can check the output of your applications with only a couple of clicks of the mouse.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Node.js is included with all Linux dedicated service that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you will be able to make use of this event-driven platform once your machine is assembled. Since Hepsia is extremely simple to work with, you will be able to make that without having to deal with any complications, even if you’ve never used the Node.js platform before, as everything that you’ll need to do on your end is add the location of the .js file that will use the platform and the IP that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other web sites. You can run as many Node.js instances as you want on our very powerful servers and each instance can be controlled separately – you’ll be able to start, to reboot or to deactivate it, to view the output of the application using it, etc. You can do this through the easy-to-work-with, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take advantage of the power of the Node.js platform with ease.
