Node.js is an advanced, open-source, event-driven, input/output system used for sites which support interactive communication. Several examples of such sites are online browser video game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. The platform processes the information sent between the website and its users in small bits, which enhances the loading speed and the performance of the site tremendously. When some form with 3 boxes should be filled by a specific user, for example, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled and their entire content is then forwarded as one giant hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed the moment it is entered, before the user types anything in the second one. Therefore, a lot more information can be processed a lot faster and more efficiently in contrast with any conventional platform, which can exert a remarkable impact on the website’s overall performance. Node.js is already being employed by many of the largest IT corporations such as Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Web Hosting

All web hosting plans that we offer include Node.js and you are able to add this avant-garde event-driven platform to your shared web hosting account using the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to pick the number of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many separate websites/platforms will utilize Node.js at the same time, and you can add as many instances as you like. Hepsia will also allow you to select the precise location of your .js app and to decide whether you will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a random port number chosen by our cloud system. Also, you can stop or restart any instance that you’ve created, change the path to the .js app or view the running instances’ output with just several clicks of the mouse from your hosting Control Panel using a really intuitive graphical interface.

Node.js in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to purchase one of our dedicated web hosting plans for your script-driven web applications and if you select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order process, you will be able to use Node.js at no extra cost, since the event-driven platform is included in our custom-developed Control Panel tool. Since our servers are extremely powerful, you’ll enjoy great results even if you host multiple Node.js instances at once. The configuration takes a couple of mouse clicks and Hepsia’s GUI will make it exceptionally easy for you to activate a new instance even if you’ve got little or no previous experience. Indicating the path to the .js file and choosing a dedicated or a shared IP will be everything that you will have to do on your end and once our system has assigned a port to access this file, you will be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you have activated can be rebooted or shut down separately and you will obtain access to a comprehensive output log for each application that uses Node.js.
