Node.js is an advanced event-driven platform, which is used to develop scalable web apps. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a server and an enormous number of online users much more efficiently than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that unlike conventional systems that handle the information in sizeable chunks, it processes everything in small bits. For instance, when a user needs to fill in a few fields on a website, Node.js handles the information in the first field the second it is inserted, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more efficiently. In contrast, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be negligible for one single user, but it undoubtedly does make a difference if an immense number of users are browsing a website at the very same time. A couple of instances of sites where Node.js can be employed are dining booking portals, chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. sites that offer quick real-time communication.
Node.js in Website Hosting
All Linux website hosting that we’re offering include Node.js and you will be able to add this advanced event-driven platform to your shared account via the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to choose the number of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many different platforms/sites will use Node.js at the same time, and you can add as many instances as you wish. The Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to set the path to your .js app and to decide if you’ll use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a random port number specified by our cloud platform. Also, you can stop or restart any instance that you’ve activated, change the path to the .js application or see the output of the running instances with just a couple of clicks of the mouse from your hosting Control Panel using an extremely intuitive GUI.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the Node.js platform comes bundled with all our semi-dedicated server packages and you can enable it with just several clicks. If you want to use it for several websites, you can get more instances from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The configuration is as simple as adding the path to your .js file and selecting if Node.js should use a dedicated IP address or any of the server’s shared ones, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you have no previous experience with such software. Our system will also designate a randomly generated port that will be used to access the .js file associated with the particular application. Hepsia has an easy-to-use graphical interface that will permit you to reboot and to shut down any of your existing instances, to add new ones or to view the output of your applications with just a click.
Node.js in VPS Servers
Node.js is offered by default with each VPS server that comes with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and imposes no restrictions concerning the number of web sites that can use it at any particular moment. This makes our Virtual Private Server packages an excellent choice for managing numerous real-time applications and for taking full advantage of each of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is intuitive enough even for individuals without any prior experience, so if you would like to set up Node.js for any application, it will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks to make this. You’ll just have to enter the location of the .js file in question and to choose if Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP or a dedicated IP. Our platform will also assign a particular port that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you’ll be all set and ready to make use of the full potential of your real-time applications. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to view the output of the applications and to restart or to cancel any of your instances using fast-access controls.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js is included with all dedicated servers that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you’ll be able to use the event-driven platform once your physical machine is up and running. Since the Hepsia Control Panel is extremely simple to work with, you’ll be able to make that without coming across any problem, even if you’ve never used the Node.js platform before, as everything that you will have to do on your end is indicate the location of the .js file that will use the platform and the IP that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other web sites. You can run as many Node.js instances as you need on our ultra-powerful dedicated machines and each of them can be controlled separately – you’ll be able to start, to reboot or to deactivate it, to check the output of the application that uses it, etc. You can do this through the easy-to-work-with, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make the most of the power of the Node.js platform without any effort.
