Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable Internet applications. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of online users more efficiently than any other platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that unlike traditional systems that process the information in giant chunks, it handles everything in small 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 inserted, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In contrast, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it indeed does make a difference when an immense number of individuals are browsing a website at the very same time. A few examples of sites where Node.js can be applied are dinner booking portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, in other words websites that support quick real-time interaction.
Node.js in Cloud Hosting
You’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js with each and every cloud hosting package that we offer, as the platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an existing shared hosting account with a couple of clicks of the mouse. After you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can choose how many instances you wish to run. One instance means that one app will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you like. A new menu will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly afterwards and to start using Node.js, you will have to indicate the path to the .js file that will use it and to decide if the connection will proceed through the physical server’s shared IP or through a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also allow you to restart or to remove an instance and to check the output of any given app.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you buy a semi-dedicated server package from us, you’ll be able to make use of the full potential of Node.js with any Internet application that you host on our cloud platform, because it is included with each semi-dedicated server plan that we’re offering. You can specify the number of instances, or applications that can use Node.js, via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can administer your account. The only things that you are expected to do after that will be to insert the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to pick the IP address that will be used in order to access this file. You can pick a dedicated IP address in case you’ve got one, or any of the physical server’s shared IPs. Our system will also allocate a randomly generated port number. With the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you’re able to check a given application’s output or to start/reboot/deactivate any of the instances that you have added.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
You can use Node.js with any of the Linux VPS hosting offered by us in case you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its very own section where you can set it up with a couple of mouse clicks even if you have no experience with similar software, as Hepsia is rather intuitive and simple to use. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to specify the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP address. A random access port will be designated automatically too. There won’t be any limits on the number of the Internet sites that can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our Virtual Private Servers for multiple sites and enjoy a superb performance. Fast-access controls in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to start, to stop or to restart any instance independently and to check their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
Node.js is included with all Linux dedicated web hosting on which our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers an incredibly simple and easy-to-use interface, so even if you have not used Node.js before, you will be able to take advantage of its true potential in just a few easy steps. Once you have uploaded the application’s content, you will have to indicate the directory path to the specific .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP that they will use (shared or dedicated), while our system will choose a random port number that will be used to access the files in question. There’s no constraint on the total number of instances that you can set up and use at the same time and you’ll exert total control over them through the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to add new ones or to terminate/reboot existing ones, to check the output log for each application, etcetera.
