Node.js is an event-driven runtime system built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable web apps that require real-time communication between a server and the online users and can noticeably speed up the overall performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly delivers small bits of information. For instance, if a new user fills a signup form, once any information is inserted in any of the fields, it’s submitted to the server even if the other fields are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the information is processed a lot faster. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for the entire form to be filled and one sizeable chunk of information is then forwarded to the server. No matter how small the difference in the processing time may be, things change if the Internet site expands and there are numerous users using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking sites, real-time browser-based video games or online chat portals, for instance, and many companies, among them LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already implemented it in their services.

Hepsia will also allow you to pick the precise path to your .js application and to decide if you’ll use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a random port number allocated by our cloud hosting system. Furthermore, you can stop or restart any instance that you have created, edit the location of the .js application or check the output of the active instances with only a few mouse clicks from your hosting Control Panel via a pretty easy-to-navigate GUI.

If you want to use it for different Internet sites, you can order more instances from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The setup is as easy as specifying the folder path to your .js file and choosing whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses, so you can make use of Node.js even if you lack previous experience with a similar software platform. Our system will also designate a random port that will be used to access the .js file associated with the particular application.

You’ll have to define the path to the .js file within your account and to choose if it will use a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared one and you will be all set.

The Hepsia Control Panel will grant you complete control over all Node.js instances and, with only one mouse click, you will be able to start, to delete or to restart them, as well as to see the output of each app that uses the Node.js platform.
