Node.js is an avant-garde, event-driven asynchronous I/O platform devised for Internet sites which support real-time interaction. Some instances of such websites would be web-based browser video game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. Node.js processes the information exchanged between the Internet site and its users in little bits, which improves the load speed and the performance of the website considerably. If a given form with 3 boxes has to be filled out by a specific user, for instance, normally all three boxes should be filled and their entire content is then delivered as one massive chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed the moment it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second one. Thus, much more info can be handled a lot faster and more effectively compared to any conventional platform, which can exert a tremendous effect on the website’s overall performance. Node.js is already being used by some of the biggest IT companies such as Yahoo and Microsoft.

Node.js in Hosting

All hosting that we are offering include Node.js and you’re able to add this avant-garde event-driven platform to your shared hosting account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to choose the amount of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many different websites/platforms will make use of Node.js at the same time, and you can order as many instances as you like. Hepsia will also permit you to select the precise location of your .js application and to decide if you’ll use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a random port number designated by our cloud hosting platform. Also, you can stop or reboot any instance that you have activated, change the path to the .js application or check the output of the running instances with just a few mouse clicks from your web hosting Control Panel via an amazingly user-friendly graphical interface.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated servers support Node.js, so if you would like to host any real-time app on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform, you will be able to take full advantage of the power that Node.js can offer you with only a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The service is upgradeable, so in case you’d like to use Node.js for multiple sites, you will be able to select the amount of running instances, one instance being one application. Through the Hepsia Control Panel’s intuitive GUI, you will need to insert the path to the .js file for each instance and to choose if Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Our platform will allocate a random port number to access your application and you will see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. The Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to view the output of any of your applications or to shut down/reboot each instance independently.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to make use of any of our dedicated servers for your script-based applications and if you pick the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you’ll be able to make use of Node.js at no extra charge, as the event-driven platform is available in our custom tool. Since our dedicated servers are exceptionally powerful, you’ll get excellent results even if you host many Node.js instances at the same time. The configuration takes a couple of clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s interface will make it exceptionally easy for you to activate a new Node.js instance even if you’ve got little or no experience. Indicating the .js file path and choosing a dedicated or a shared IP address will be everything that you will need to do yourself and once our system has designated a port number to access the .js file, you will be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you have created can be rebooted or deactivated independently and you’ll have access to a comprehensive output log for each app that uses the Node.js platform.
