Node.js is an event-driven platform, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable web apps that need live interaction between a web server and the Internet users and can considerably enhance the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly supplies little bits of information. For instance, in case a new user fills a subscription form, as soon as any information is entered in any of the fields, it’s delivered to the server even if the remaining boxes are not filled out and the user has not clicked any button, so the info is processed a whole lot faster. In contrast, traditional systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one large chunk of information is then sent to the server. Irrespective of how little the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change in case the website expands and there’re plenty of users using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking portals, real-time web browser-based games or live chat clients, for example, and lots of companies, among them LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already integrated it into their services.
Node.js in Cloud Hosting
Since Node.js is present on our advanced cloud platform, you will be able to add it to your shared web hosting account and to use it for any web application that you have, regardless of which cloud hosting plan you’ve selected during the registration process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared web hosting accounts, will allow you to choose the number of instances that you’d like to run – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A few minutes later, you can insert the path to the app, i.e. the location of the .js file in your account, as well as to select the IP address to get access to the file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. In the new Node.js menu that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you can reboot an instance or to shut it down if you no longer need it. You’ll also receive access to the output code with only a mouse click.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can make use of all the benefits that the Node.js event-driven platform offers, because it is comes with all our semi-dedicated plans and you can add it to your semi-dedicated account with several mouse clicks from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the account management tool that’s included with every semi-dedicated server. In case you wish to use Node.js for different Internet applications, you can select the number of instances which the platform will use when you are adding this service to your semi-dedicated plan. Then, you’ll have to insert the location of the .js file in your account for each instance. You can do this in the new menu that will show up in the Control Panel after you order the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also select whether the path to the particular app should go through a dedicated IP – if you have one, or through the server’s shared IP address. Each instance that you add can be restarted or removed independently and you can see your applications’ output with just a couple of mouse clicks.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
All Linux VPS hosting packages that are ordered with our tailor-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with Node.js by default and you can use this event-driven platform for each script-driven software application that you host on the Virtual Private Server. Since we have not imposed a restriction on how many instances you can add, you can take advantage of the power of our VPSs and combine it with the full potential of Node.js. The configuration is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s intuitive, point-and-click graphical interface, so even if you are not technically proficient, you will not have any difficulties while working with the platform. You’ll only have to enter the folder path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. In addition, our system will also choose a port number to access the file and you’ll be able to find it in the corresponding section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With only one mouse click, you can check the output of your applications and to delete or to reboot any Node.js instance running on the Virtual Private Server.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
Node.js is included with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages on which our custom Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter has a rather intuitive and easy-to-navigate graphical interface, so even if you’ve never used Node.js before, you’ll be able to uncover its full potential in only a few easy steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the app’s content, you will need to include the folder path to the respective .js files that will use Node.js and to pick the IP that they will use (shared or dedicated), while our system will designate a random port that will be used to access these files. There isn’t any limit on the total number of instances that you can set up and run simultaneously and you will have complete command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to get new ones or to delete/reboot existing ones, to check the output log for each application, etc.
