Node.js is an innovative event-driven system, which is used to create scalable Internet apps. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of online users much more efficiently than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that unlike traditional systems which process the information in sizeable chunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. As an illustration, if a user needs to fill a couple of fields on a website, Node.js processes the information from the first field the second it is typed, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In contrast, conventional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single person, but it absolutely does make a difference when a large number of people are visiting a website at the very same time. A couple of instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be used are dinner booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, in other words websites that need quick live communication.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

Since Node.js is available on our avant-garde cloud platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared account and to utilize it for any web application that you’ve got, irrespective of which shared hosting plan you’ve picked upon registration. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes bundled with all shared website hosting account, will permit you to select the number of instances that you’d like to use – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. A few minutes after that, you can enter the path to the app, i.e. where the .js file will be located in your shared account, as well as to pick the IP to obtain access to the file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. In the new Node.js section that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel, you can restart an instance or to cancel it if you do not want it any longer. You will also have access to the output code with just a click.

This service is upgradeable, so if you would like to use Node.js for multiple Internet sites, you will be able to select the number of available instances, one instance being one app. Through Hepsia’s easy-to-use GUI, you’ll have to indicate the path to the .js file for each instance and to select whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared IP. Our cloud platform will set a random port number to access your app and you’ll see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to check the output of any of your applications or to terminate/reboot each instance separately.

Node.js in VPS Servers

Even if you aren’t very tech-savvy, you will be able to make use of the Node.js platform, as all you’ll need to do to activate it is indicate the location of the .js file and pick the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated IP.
