Node.js is an open-source, event-driven platform built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable web apps that need real-time communication between a server and the Internet users and can tremendously improve the overall performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP requests and responses and constantly supplies little bits of information. For example, in case a new user fills in a registration form, the moment any info is entered in any of the fields, it is delivered to the server even if the remaining boxes are not filled out and the user has not clicked on any button, so the information is handled much faster. In contrast, conventional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled out and one big chunk of information is then delivered to the server. No matter how small the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change when the Internet site grows bigger and there’re lots of individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for online booking portals, real-time web browser-based games or instant messengers, for instance, and lots of companies, including LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already implemented it in their services.
Node.js in Cloud Hosting
If you host a web app on our innovative cloud platform and you’d like to try Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your hosting account irrespective of the cloud hosting plan that you are using. This can be done via the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to use Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You’ll be able to choose the number of instances that you want to add to the account – one instance means one app using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can enter the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and choose whether that file will be accessible via the server’s shared IP or through a dedicated IP. Our platform will also allocate a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to terminate or to reboot each instance separately, in case it is required.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you order a semi-dedicated server plan through us, you’ll be able to make use of the full potential of Node.js with any Internet app that you host on our cloud web hosting platform, because it’s available with each semi-dedicated server package offered by our company. You can indicate the number of instances, or apps that can use Node.js, through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can manage your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you will need 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 that will be used to access this file. You can pick a dedicated IP if you have one, or any of the server’s shared IPs. Our platform will also select a randomly generated port number. When you have the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you’re able to check the output of a given app or to start/restart/terminate any of the instances that you’ve created.
Node.js in VPS
You can run Node.js with each of the Linux VPS packages offered by us in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The platform will have its very own section where you can set it up with a few clicks of the mouse even if you haven’t got any experience with a similar software platform, since Hepsia is pretty intuitive and easy to work with. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to specify the path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP address. A randomly generated access port will be selected automatically as well. There won’t be any constraints as to the number of the sites that can use Node.js at once, so you can use our Virtual Private Servers for multiple sites and enjoy an astonishing performance. Fast-access controls in the Node.js section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to start, to discontinue or to reboot any instance independently and to view their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Hosting
Node.js is included with all Linux dedicated hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to make the most of this platform as soon as your physical machine is up and running. Since Hepsia is exceptionally simple to use, you’ll be able to make that without encountering any obstacles, even if you haven’t used the Node.js platform before, as everything that you will have to do on your end is indicate the folder path to the .js file that will use the platform and the IP that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other websites. You can set up as many Node.js instances as you want on our really powerful dedicated machines and each of them can be controlled independently – you’ll be able to start, to restart or to cancel it, to check the output of the app using it, etc. This can be done through the simple-to-work-with, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take full advantage of the power of Node.js with ease.
