Node.js is an innovative event-driven system, which is used to build scalable web apps. It is built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a server and a large number of online users much more efficiently than any other platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in contrast to conventional systems that handle the info in huge hunks, it processes everything in little bits. For instance, when a user has to fill out a few fields on a site, Node.js processes the information from the first field the second it is typed, utilizing the server’s processing power more effectively. In comparison, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single user, but it surely does make a difference if a large number of people are visiting a website at the very same time. A couple of examples of websites where Node.js can be applied are dining booking portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, in other words sites that need fast live communication.
Node.js in Cloud Hosting
All Linux cloud hosting that we offer support Node.js and you can add this innovative platform to your shared web hosting account via the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to pick the amount of instances for this particular upgrade, i.e. how many separate platforms/sites will use Node.js at once, and you can get as many instances as you wish. Hepsia will also allow you to set the precise location of your .js application and to select if you’ll use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a randomly generated port designated by our cloud platform. What’s more, you can stop or restart any instance that you’ve created, edit the path to the .js application or view the output of the running instances with just a few mouse clicks from your hosting Control Panel using an exceptionally simple-to-navigate GUI.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our semi-dedicated hosting packages come with Node.js, so if you would like to run any real-time application on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to make full use of the power that Node.js can offer you with just several mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. This feature is upgradeable, so in case you’d like to use Node.js for multiple websites, you will be able to pick the amount of active instances, one instance being one application. Using Hepsia’s simple-to-use graphical interface, you will need to include the path to the .js file for each instance and to choose if Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared IP. Our platform will choose a randomly generated port number to access your app and you will see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to view the output of each of your applications or to delete/restart each instance independently.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
All Linux VPS hosting that are ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel offer Node.js as standard and you can use the platform for any script-powered software app that you host on the Virtual Private Server. As we have not set a limit on the amount of Node.js instances that you can create, you can make the most of the power of our VPS servers and mix it with the full capacity of the Node.js platform. The configuration is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-use, point ‘n’ click interface, so even if you are not technically proficient, you won’t experience any problems while using the Node.js platform. You will simply have to add the folder path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. In addition, our system will also allocate a port to access this file and you’ll be able to find it in the corresponding section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With only one mouse click, you will be able to see your applications’ output and to remove or to restart any instance hosted on the VPS server.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
Node.js is available with all Linux dedicated web hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to make use of the event-driven platform as soon as your server is set up. As the Hepsia Control Panel is pretty intuitive, you’ll be able to do that without experiencing any problem, even if you have never used the Node.js platform before, since everything that you’ll have to do on your end is specify the location of the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP address that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other Internet sites. You can create as many Node.js instances as you wish on our very powerful dedicated machines and each instance can be managed separately – you’ll be able to start, to restart or to discontinue it, to see the output of the app that uses it, etc. This can be done via the simple-to-work-with, point & click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make full use of the power of the Node.js platform without effort.
