Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime environment, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable web apps that require real-time communication between a web server and the worldwide web users and can substantially enhance the performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly provides little amounts of information. For instance, in case a new user fills a signup form, as soon as any info is entered in any of the boxes, it’s submitted to the server even if the other boxes are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the information is processed much faster. In comparison, conventional systems wait for the whole form to be filled out and one massive chunk of information is then sent to the server. Irrespective of how little the difference in the processing time may be, things change in case the Internet site grows bigger and there are many users using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking portals, interactive web browser games or instant messaging applications, for example, and lots of corporations, including Yahoo, LinkedIn and eBay, have already included it in their services.

Node.js in Shared Hosting

All Linux shared hosting that we are offering come with Node.js and you can add this innovative event-driven platform to your hosting account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to choose the exact path to your .js application and to select whether you’ll use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a random port number designated by our cloud hosting system. Furthermore, you can stop or reboot any instance that you’ve activated, change the location of the .js application or see the output of the running instances with only a couple of clicks of the mouse from your hosting Control Panel using an exceptionally easy-to-navigate interface.

You can indicate the number of instances, or apps which can use Node.js, from the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can administer your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you’ll need do after that will be to indicate the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select the IP that will be used in order to access that file. You can select a dedicated IP address in case you have one, or any of the physical server’s shared IPs. Our system will also set a random port number. When you have the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you will be able to view the output of a given app or to start/restart/deactivate any of the instances that you’ve added.
