Node.js is an open-source, event-driven system, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used by scalable web applications that need live interaction between a server and the online users and can noticeably enhance the performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly provides little amounts of information. For instance, if a new user fills a subscription form, once any info is inserted in one of the boxes, it’s submitted to the server even if the rest of the boxes are not filled out and the user has not clicked on any button, so the information is handled a lot faster. In contrast, conventional systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one large hunk of information is then sent to the server. Regardless of how small the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change if the site grows bigger and there are a lot of users using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking sites, interactive browser-based games or online chat applications, for instance, and a lot of corporations, including LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already implemented it in their services.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

Since Node.js is present on our innovative cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared account and to use it for any web-based application that you have, irrespective of which shared hosting plan you have picked during the order process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with all shared hosting accounts, will allow you to choose the number of instances that you wish to get – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. Several minutes later, you can add the path to the application, in other words where the .js file will be located in your account, as well as to choose the IP to receive access to that file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to restart an instance or to shut it down in case you don’t want it any longer. You will also be granted access to the output code with only a single mouse click.

The only things that you’ll need do after that will be to indicate the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to choose the IP that will be used in order to access this file. You can choose a dedicated IP in case you have one, or any of the server’s shared IPs. Our system will also select a random port. When you have the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to see the output of a given app or to start/restart/shut down any of the instances that you have created.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Node.js is available by default with each and every VPS server that comes with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and involves no restrictions regarding the number of Internet sites that can use it at any given moment. This makes our VPS plans an excellent solution for managing numerous real-time script-based web apps and for making the most of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is user-friendly enough even for persons without any prior experience, so if you’d like to activate Node.js for any app, it won’t take more than a couple of clicks to make this. You’ll simply need to indicate the path to the .js file in question and to select whether Node.js will use the server’s shared IP or a dedicated one. Our system will also set a specific port number that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you will be all set and will be able to make use of the full potential of your real-time applications. The Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to check the output of the applications and to reboot or to deactivate any of your instances using quick-access controls.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

The configuration requires a couple of mouse clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s graphical user interface will make it rather easy for you to activate a new instance even if you have little or no experience. Defining the .js file path and choosing a shared or a dedicated IP will be everything that you will need to do yourself and as soon as our system has assigned a port number to access the .js file, you will be all set. Any of the instances that you have activated can be rebooted or discontinued separately and you’ll have access to an exhaustive output log for each application that uses Node.js.
