Node.js is an open-source, event-driven platform built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used for scalable web applications that require live interaction between a server and the worldwide web users and can tremendously speed up the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly provides tiny bits of info. For example, if a new user fills in a subscription form, once any information is entered in any of the boxes, it is delivered to the server even if the other boxes are not filled out and the user has not clicked any button, so the information is handled a whole lot faster. In comparison, conventional systems wait for the entire form to be filled and one massive chunk of information is then delivered to the server. Irrespective of how little the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change in case the site expands and there are many individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking websites, interactive web browser video games or instant messaging software, for example, and lots of companies, among them LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already incorporated it into their services.
Node.js in Hosting
All Linux hosting plans that we offer include Node.js and you’re able to add this advanced event-driven platform to your account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You’ll be able to select the number of instances for this specific upgrade, in other words how many different platforms/sites will make use of Node.js at the same time, and you can activate as many instances as you require. Hepsia will also enable you to choose the precise location of your .js app and to select 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 given by our cloud hosting platform. Furthermore, you can stop or reboot any instance that you’ve created, edit the location of the .js app or check the running instances’ output with just a couple of mouse clicks from your web hosting Control Panel via a rather intuitive interface.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated plans include Node.js, so in case you’d like to host any real-time app on our innovative cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to make full use of the power that the system can give you with just several clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The service is upgradeable, so in case you wish to use Node.js for multiple sites, you will be able to choose the number of active instances, one instance being one application. Through Hepsia’s easy-to-use interface, you will have to insert the location of the .js file for every instance and to choose whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Our platform will assign 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 check the output of any of your apps or to cancel/restart each instance separately.

The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can set it up with a couple of mouse clicks even if you do not have any experience with such software, as Hepsia is truly intuitive and easy to navigate. All it takes to add 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 that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your VPS’s shared IP address. A randomly generated access port will be selected automatically as well. There won’t be any limit on how many Internet sites can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our Virtual Private Servers for numerous websites and enjoy a magnificent overall performance. Quick-access controls in the Node.js section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to start, to stop or to reboot any instance independently and to view their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers

Since the Hepsia Control Panel is quite simple to use, you will be able to do that without encountering any problem, even if you’ve never worked with the Node.js platform before, as everything that you will need to do on your end is indicate the path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and the IP address that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other Internet sites. You can create as many Node.js instances as you wish on our extremely powerful machines and each of them can be controlled separately – you will be able to start, to reboot or to cancel it, to view the output of the app that uses it, etc. You can do this via the intuitive, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can use the power of Node.js without effort.
