Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to set up scalable applications. It is built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of users much more effectively than any other platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in difference between conventional platforms which process the info in massive chunks, it handles everything in little bits. For example, in case a user has to fill in a few fields on a site, Node.js handles the information from the first field the second it’s inserted, utilizing the server’s processing resources more efficiently. In comparison, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single person, but it indeed does make a difference when a huge number of users are using a site at the very same time. A couple of examples of Internet sites where Node.js can be used are online dinner reservation portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, in other words sites that need fast live communication.
Node.js in Website Hosting
All website hosting that we are offering support Node.js and you’re able to add this innovative platform to your shared hosting account via the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You’ll be able to choose the amount of instances for this upgrade, in other words how many separate websites/platforms will utilize Node.js at the same time, and you can add as many instances as you need. Hepsia will also permit you to pick the exact location of your .js application and to decide whether you’ll use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a randomly generated port number selected by our cloud system. Furthermore, you can stop or restart any instance that you have added, change the path to the .js application or check the output of the running instances with only a few mouse clicks from your hosting Control Panel using a quite intuitive graphical interface.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can make use of all the advantages that the Node.js event-driven platform offers, due to the fact that it is is included with all our semi-dedicated plans and you’re able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with a couple of clicks from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server management tool that is included with each and every semi-dedicated server. In case you want to use Node.js for multiple Internet apps, you can pick the number of instances that the platform will use when you’re adding this feature to your semi-dedicated plan. After that, you will need to include the path to the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. You can do this in the new menu that will show up in the Control Panel after you add the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also choose whether the access path to the particular app will go through a dedicated IP address – if you have one, or through the server’s shared IP. Each instance that you add can be rebooted or shut down separately and you can view the output of your apps with only a few clicks of the mouse.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
Node.js is included by default with each and every virtual private server that is ordered with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and involves no constraints with regard to the number of sites that can use it at any particular moment. This makes our Virtual Private Server plans an optimal option for building numerous real-time web applications and for making the most of each of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is intuitive enough even for persons without any previous experience, so if you want to activate Node.js for any app, it won’t take more than several clicks to do it. You will just need to insert the location of the given .js file and to select whether Node.js will use the server’s shared IP address or a dedicated IP. Our system will also designate a certain port number that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you’ll be all set and ready to use the full potential of your real-time apps. Hepsia will permit you to check the output of the applications and to reboot or to delete any of your instances using quick-access buttons.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
Node.js comes with all Linux dedicated web hosting on which our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter has a pretty simple and user-friendly interface, so even if you have not worked with the Node.js platform before, you will be able to uncover its true potential in only a couple of easy steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you’ll have to enter the folder path to the given .js files that will use Node.js and to select the IP which they will use (dedicated or shared), whereas our system will choose a random port number that will be used to access these files. There’s no constraint on the total number of instances that you can activate and use at the same time and you will exert total control over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to activate new ones or to stop/reboot existing ones, to view the output log for each application, and so on.
