Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable web applications. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a server and a large number of users much more efficiently than any conventional system. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in difference between traditional platforms which process the info in huge chunks, it handles everything in little bits. For example, when a user has to fill several fields on a website, Node.js processes the info in the first field once it’s typed, utilizing the server processing time more efficiently. In contrast, other platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the information from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it truly does make a difference when a large number of individuals are browsing a website simultaneously. A couple of instances of websites where Node.js can be used are dinner reservation portals, chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, in other words websites that support quick real-time communication.

Node.js in Shared Website Hosting

All Linux shared website hosting plans offered by our company support Node.js and you can add this avant-garde platform to your shared account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to pick the amount of instances for this particular upgrade, in other words how many different sites/platforms will utilize Node.js simultaneously, and you can add as many instances as you like. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to select the precise location of your .js app and to choose whether you will use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a randomly generated port number allocated by our cloud hosting platform. In addition, you can stop or restart any instance that you have activated, change the path to the .js app or check the running instances’ output with only a few mouse clicks from your web hosting Control Panel via a very user-friendly GUI.

You can indicate the number of instances, or applications that can use Node.js, through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can administer your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you’ll need do after that will be to enter the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select the IP address that will be used to access that file. You can select a dedicated IP in case you have one, or any of the server’s shared IP addresses. Our platform will also set a randomly generated port number. Using the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you can see the output of a given app or to start/restart/delete any of the instances that you’ve activated.
