Node.js is a cutting-edge, event-driven I/O platform designed for websites which offer live interaction. Several examples of such sites are web-based browser game portals, online chat rooms or hotel booking portals. Node.js handles the info exchanged between the website and its visitors in tiny bits, which boosts the speed and the overall performance of the website noticeably. If a given form with 3 boxes is expected to be filled out by a specific user, for instance, normally all three boxes should be filled and their entire content is then sent as one massive hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed as soon as it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second one. Thus, much more information can be processed a lot faster and more effectively in comparison to any conventional platform, which can exert a substantial effect on the overall performance of the site. Node.js is already being used by many of the top IT firms such as Microsoft and Yahoo.

Node.js in Web Hosting

All web hosting offered by our company include Node.js and you’ll be able to add this innovative event-driven platform to your account via the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You’ll be able to choose the number of instances for this particular upgrade, i.e. how many separate platforms/websites will utilize Node.js at the same time, and you can run as many instances as you need. Hepsia will also allow you to choose the exact path to your .js app and to select whether you’ll use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a randomly generated port designated by our cloud hosting platform. What’s more, you can stop or restart any instance that you have created, modify the location of the .js app or check the output of the running instances with only a few mouse clicks from your hosting Control Panel via a pretty easy-to-navigate interface.

You can indicate the number of instances, or apps which can use Node.js, via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can manage your account. The only things that you are expected to do after that will be to specify the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to pick the IP address that will be used in order to access this file. You can select a dedicated IP in case you’ve got one, or any of the physical server’s shared IPs. Our system will also allocate a random port number. Using the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you will be able to view a given app’s output or to start/reboot/stop any of the instances that you’ve added.

The setup is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate, point ‘n’ click GUI, so even if you aren’t tech-savvy, you will not come across any difficulties while working with the Node.js platform. You’ll simply need to indicate the path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. In addition, our system will also assign a port to access the file and you’ll be able to see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. With just one click of the mouse, you’ll be able to check your apps’ output and to delete or to restart any Node.js instance hosted on the Virtual Private Server.

Specifying the .js file path and selecting a dedicated or a shared IP address will be everything that you will need to do on your end and once our system has allocated a port number to access the .js file, you will be all set. Any of the instances that you have created can be restarted or shut down independently and you will receive access to a detailed output log for each application that uses the Node.js platform.
