Node.js is an open-source, event-driven environment built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable applications that need live communication between a server and the online users and can considerably enhance the performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and constantly supplies small bits of info. For instance, if a new user fills out a registration form, once any info is inserted in one of the fields, it’s delivered to the server even if the other boxes are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the information is handled a lot faster. In comparison, conventional systems wait for the whole form to be filled and one massive chunk of information is then submitted to the server. No matter how tiny the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change if the website expands and there’re numerous individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking websites, real-time browser games or online chat portals, for instance, and a lot of companies, among them LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already implemented it in their services.

Node.js in Cloud Hosting

You will be able to make use of Node.js with every cloud hosting package offered by us, since the platform is available on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing shared hosting account with several clicks. After you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can choose how many instances you wish to activate. One instance means that one app will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you want. A new section will appear in the Control Panel soon afterwards and to start using Node.js, you’ll have to specify the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select whether the connection will go through the server’s shared IP or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to reboot or to terminate an instance and to view the output of any given app.

If you acquire a semi-dedicated server package from us, you will be able to make use of the full potential of Node.js with any Internet app that you host on our cloud platform, since it’s available with each and every semi-dedicated plan offered by our company. You can specify the number of instances, or apps that can use Node.js, via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can manage your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you’ll have do after that will be to enter the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to select the IP that will be used to access this file. You can pick a dedicated IP address in case you have one, or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses. Our platform will also select a randomly generated port number. When you have the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you’re able to view the output of a given application or to start/restart/terminate any of the instances that you’ve added.
