Node.js is an innovative event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable web apps. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and an enormous number of Internet users more efficiently than any other system. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in contrast to traditional platforms that process the info in giant chunks, it processes everything in small bits. As an illustration, in case a user needs to fill in several fields on a website, Node.js handles the info from the first field once it is typed, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In contrast, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out 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 person, but it surely does make a difference when a large number of people are visiting a website at the same time. Several instances of websites where Node.js can be applied are dinner booking portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, i.e. sites that offer quick live interaction.
Node.js in Shared Hosting
Since Node.js is present on our advanced cloud hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared hosting account and to utilize it for any web-based application that you have, regardless of which shared hosting package you have chosen during the subscription process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts, will permit you to select the number of instances that you’d like to order – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes afterwards, you can specify the path to the application, i.e. the location of the .js file in your shared account, as well as to pick the IP address to obtain access to the file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Control Panel, you will be able to restart an instance or to shut it down if you do not want it anymore. You’ll also acquire access to the output code with only a single click.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order a semi-dedicated server account from us, you’ll be able to use the full capacity of Node.js with any web application that you host on our cloud website hosting platform, since it comes with each semi-dedicated server package that we offer. You can indicate the number of instances, or applications which can use Node.js, through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can control your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you’ll need do after that will be to define the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to choose the IP that will be used in order to access that file. You can choose 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. When you have the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you are able to check the output of a given application or to start/restart/remove any of the instances that you’ve activated.
Node.js in VPS Servers
You can take advantage of Node.js with each of the Linux VPS servers that we’re offering if you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its very own section where you can configure it with several clicks even if you do not have any experience with such a software platform, as Hepsia is amazingly intuitive and user-friendly. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to include the folder path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your VPS’s shared IP. A random access port will be set automatically too. There won’t be any limitations as to how many sites can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our virtual servers for lots of sites and enjoy an impressive overall performance. Quick-access controls in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will permit you to start, to discontinue or to restart any Node.js instance independently and to see their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
If you decide to buy one of our Linux dedicated service for your script-driven apps and if you pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order process, you will be able to use Node.js at no additional fee, since this platform is built into our in-house built Control Panel tool. As our servers are astonishingly powerful, you will enjoy stunning performance even if you use lots of Node.js instances at the same time. The configuration requires several clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s graphical user interface will make it extremely easy for you to create a new Node.js instance even if you’ve got little or no previous experience. Specifying the path to the .js file and choosing a shared or a dedicated IP will be everything that you will need to do yourself and once our system has designated a port number to access this file, you’ll be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you have activated can be restarted or discontinued independently and you will be provided with access to an elaborate output log for each of the applications that use the Node.js platform.
