Node.js is an advanced event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable apps. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a web server and a large number of Internet users much more efficiently than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in contrast to conventional platforms which handle the info in huge hunks, it handles everything in small bits. As an illustration, in case a user has to fill out a few fields on a website, Node.js processes the info in the first field as soon as it’s inserted, utilizing the server’s processing resources more effectively. In contrast, other platforms 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 a single person, but it really does make a difference when an enormous number of users are visiting a site at the very same time. A couple of examples of websites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. websites that need fast live interaction.
Node.js in Shared Hosting
You can use Node.js with each shared hosting package that we offer, as the event-driven platform is available on our cloud servers and can be added to an existing account with several clicks of the mouse. After you sign into your Hepsia Control Panel, you will find Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can select how many instances you want to activate. One instance means that one single application will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you like. A new section will appear in the Control Panel shortly after that and to begin using Node.js, you’ll have to include the path to the .js file that will use it and to decide if the connection will go through the shared IP address of the server or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also permit you to restart or to shut down an instance and to view any given app’s output.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you get a semi-dedicated server account through us, you’ll be able to use the full capacity of Node.js with any application that you host on our cloud website hosting platform, because it’s included with each and every semi-dedicated server package offered by our company. You can specify the number of instances, or apps which can use Node.js, through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can administer your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you are expected to do after that will be to insert the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select the IP address that will be used in order to access that file. You can select a dedicated IP in case you’ve got one, or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses. Our system will also set a random port. When you have the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you will be able to view the output of a given application or to start/reboot/cancel any of the instances that you’ve activated.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
You can run Node.js with each of the Linux VPS hosting that we offer if you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can set it up with several mouse clicks even if you have no experience with such software, since Hepsia is rather intuitive and simple to use. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to add the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your VPS’s shared IP address. A random access port will be selected automatically too. There won’t be any restrictions as to the number of the Internet sites that can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our virtual servers for many sites and enjoy an excellent overall performance. Quick-access menus in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section will allow you to start, to cancel or to restart any Node.js instance separately and to check their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
Node.js comes bundled with all Linux dedicated web hosting on which our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter has an incredibly intuitive and user-friendly GUI, so even if you’ve never used the Node.js platform before, you’ll be able to uncover its full potential in just a few simple steps. As soon as you have uploaded the application’s content, you will have to specify the path to the particular .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to pick the IP that they’ll use (dedicated or shared), while our system will select a randomly generated port number that will be used to access the files in question. There’s no restriction on the total number of Node.js instances that you can create and run at the same time and you’ll have full command over them through the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to set up new ones or to terminate/reboot existing ones, to check the output log for each app, etcetera.
