Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven platform, which is used to set up scalable web applications. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a server and an immense number of online users much more effectively than any conventional system. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in contrast to traditional platforms which handle the info in giant hunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For instance, if a user has to fill in a few fields on a website, Node.js processes the info in the first field the moment it’s inserted, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In comparison, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for one single user, but it indeed does make a difference if a large number of individuals are navigating a website simultaneously. A couple of examples of sites where Node.js can be used are dining reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, in other words websites that offer quick live communication.

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven application running in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform is included with all our semi-dedicated server hosting packages and you can activate it with only a couple of clicks. If you would like to use it for several sites, you can order more instances from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The configuration is as easy as inserting the path to your .js file and selecting if the platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared IPs, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you have no previous experience with such software. Our system will also set a randomly generated port number that will be used to access the .js file for the given application. Hepsia has a user-friendly graphical interface that will permit you to reboot and to deactivate any of your running instances, to order new ones or to see the output of your apps with just one click.

The Node.js instances can be administered from the Node.js section of the Hepsia CP via an easy-to-work-with interface, which will allow you to start/discontinue/restart any instance or to view the output of the app which uses it with just one click. Even if you aren’t very tech-savvy, you will be able to make use of the Node.js platform, as all you will need to do to activate it is enter the path to the .js file and pick the IP that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared IP. A randomly generated port will be assigned automatically as well and you will notice the advantages of running Node.js momentarily. By mixing the platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you can make the most of the full capacity of your apps and to get the best conceivable performance.
