Node.js is an event-driven runtime system, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable web applications that require real-time communication between a web server and the online users and can tremendously boost the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly delivers small bits of info. For instance, in case a new user fills out a subscription form, the second any info is entered in one of the boxes, it is delivered to the server even if the other fields are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the information is handled a lot faster. In comparison, other systems wait for the whole form to be filled out and one large hunk of information is then forwarded to the server. Irrespective of how little the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change if the Internet site grows bigger and there’re numerous users using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking portals, interactive browser video games or online chat applications, for example, and numerous corporations, among them eBay, LinkedIn and Yahoo, have already implemented it in their services.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

If you host an Internet application on our innovative cloud website hosting platform and you would like to try Node.js, you will be able to add it to your web hosting account regardless of the shared hosting package that you use. You can make this through the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to use Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You will be able to select how many instances you’d like to add to your account – one instance means one app using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can insert the path to the .js file in your hosting account and choose if that file will be reachable via the shared IP of the server or via a dedicated IP. Our platform will also set a port for the connection. You’ll be able to turn off or to restart each instance separately, if it’s needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you’d like to use Node.js for different web-based apps, you can choose the number of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this service to your package. Then, you will have to add the path to the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will show up in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also choose if the path to the specific application will go through a dedicated IP address – if you’ve got one, or through the physical server’s shared IP address. Each and every instance that you run can be restarted or shut down independently and you can check the output of your applications with just a few clicks.

Our system will also assign a given port that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you’ll be all set and ready to make use of the full potential of your real-time apps. The Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to see the output of the apps and to restart or to delete any of your instances using fast-access controls.
