Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven platform, which is used to set up scalable Internet apps. It is built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and an enormous number of online users more effectively than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in difference between conventional systems which handle the information in massive chunks, it handles everything in little bits. As an illustration, when a user needs to fill in several fields on an Internet site, Node.js handles the information in the first field the second it’s entered, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more efficiently. In comparison, conventional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it surely does make a difference if an immense number of people are navigating a site at the same time. Several instances of sites where Node.js can be employed are dinner reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, i.e. websites that need quick real-time communication.

Node.js in Shared Web Hosting

Since Node.js is present on our innovative cloud platform, you will be able to add it to your hosting account and to utilize it for any web application that you have, regardless of which shared web hosting package you have picked during the registration process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all hosting accounts, will permit you to select the number of instances that you would like to add – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. A few minutes afterwards, you’ll be able to enter the path to the application, in other words the location of the .js file in your website hosting account, as well as to select the IP address to acquire access to the file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Control Panel, you’ll be able to restart an instance or to shut it down if you do not want it anymore. You’ll also receive access to the output code with only one click.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The service is upgradeable, so if you would like to use Node.js for different sites, you’ll be able to pick the amount of running instances, one instance being one app. Through Hepsia’s easy-to-use graphical interface, you will need to indicate the path to the .js file for every instance and to choose if Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will choose a randomly generated port number to access your app and you’ll find it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. Hepsia will also allow you to see the output of each of your apps or to shut down/restart each instance independently.

All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to include the path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your VPS’s shared IP address. A random access port number will be allocated automatically as well. There won’t be any constraints as to how many websites can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our virtual machines for numerous sites and enjoy a marvelous performance. Quick-access buttons in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to start, to shut down or to restart any instance independently and to view their output.

As our servers are rather powerful, you will get stunning performance even if you run multiple Node.js instances simultaneously. The configuration takes a few mouse clicks and Hepsia’s user interface will make it very easy for you to activate a new instance even if you’ve got little or no experience. Entering the path to the .js file and selecting a dedicated or a shared IP will be everything that you will need to do yourself and as soon as our system has allocated a port number to access the .js file, you’ll be all set. Any of the instances that you have activated can be restarted or removed separately and you’ll be provided with access to an elaborate output log for each of the apps that use Node.js.
