Node.js

Node.js is an advanced event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable apps. It uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a server and an immense number of Internet users much more efficiently than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that unlike conventional systems which process the information in sizeable chunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For example, if a user needs to fill a couple of fields on a website, Node.js processes the info from the first field the second it’s inserted, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In contrast, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it surely does make a difference when an enormous number of users are browsing a site all at once. A few instances of websites where Node.js can be employed are dining booking portals, chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, i.e. websites that offer fast real-time interaction.

You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based software application running in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform is available with all our semi-dedicated server hosting plans and you can get it with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. In case you’d like to use it for several websites, you can activate more instances from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The setup is as simple as including the path to your .js file and choosing if the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared ones, so you can make use of Node.js even if you lack previous experience with such software. Our system will also allocate a random port that will be used to access the .js file associated with the specific application.

Since Hepsia is incredibly simple to use, you’ll be able to do that without any difficulty, even if you haven’t worked with the Node.js platform before, since everything that you will need to do on your end is include the location of the .js file that will use the platform and the IP that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other sites. You can activate as many instances as you want on our powerful dedicated machines and each instance can be controlled separately – you’ll be able to start, to reboot or to deactivate it, to view the output of the app that uses it, etc. This can be done via the easy-to-use, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make the most of the power of Node.js with ease.
