Node.js is an innovative, event-driven I/O platform designed for Internet sites which offer real-time interaction. Some examples of such websites are online browser game portals, online chat rooms or hotel reservation portals. The platform handles the information exchanged between the site and its visitors in little bits, which boosts the loading speed and the performance of the site noticeably. If a given form with 3 boxes is expected to be filled by a specific user, for instance, normally all three boxes should be filled and the whole content is then forwarded as one giant chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed the moment it is inserted, before the user writes anything in the second one. In this way, a lot more info can be processed a lot faster and more efficiently in comparison to any other system, which can exert a huge effect on the website’s performance. Node.js is already being employed by some of the leading IT companies such as Yahoo and Microsoft.

As Node.js is present on our cutting-edge cloud platform, you will be able to add it to your shared web hosting account and to utilize it for any web app that you have, regardless of which shared website hosting package you have chosen during the subscription process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared website hosting account, will allow you to pick the number of instances that you would like to use – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. Several minutes afterwards, you’ll be able to add the path to the application, in other words where the .js file will be located in your shared web hosting account, as well as to pick the IP address to access the file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Control Panel, you’ll be able to reboot an instance or to shut it down in case you don’t require it anymore. You will also get access to the output code with just a click.

With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can make use of all the benefits that the Node.js platform offers, as it is comes with all our packages and you are able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with several mouse clicks from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server management tool that comes bundled with each and every semi-dedicated server. If you wish to employ Node.js for different Internet apps, you can choose the amount of instances which the platform will use when you are adding this service to your semi-dedicated plan. Then, you will need to enter the path to the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel after you add the upgrade and during the process, you can also choose whether the access path to the given app should go through a dedicated IP – in case you have one, or through the server’s shared IP address.

Since the Hepsia Control Panel is incredibly intuitive, you’ll be able to make that without coming across any predicaments, even if you haven’t used Node.js before, as everything that you will have to do on your end is specify the location of the .js file that will use the platform and the IP address that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other sites. You can run as many instances as you wish on our very powerful dedicated machines and each of them can be controlled independently – you will be able to start, to reboot or to deactivate it, to view the output of the app using it, etc. You can do this via the user-friendly, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make full use of the power of Node.js without efforts.
