Node.js is an event-driven system, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used for scalable apps that need live communication between a server and the worldwide web users and can noticeably boost the performance of any website that’s using it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly supplies little bits of info. For instance, in case a new user fills in a signup form, once any info is entered in any of the fields, it is delivered to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the info is handled a lot faster. In contrast, other platforms wait for the whole form to be filled out and one huge hunk of information is then sent to the server. Regardless of how tiny the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change in case the website expands and there’re a lot of users using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking portals, interactive web browser-based games or online chat platforms, for instance, and many companies, among them Yahoo, LinkedIn and eBay, have already integrated it into their services.
Node.js in Web Hosting
You will be able to use Node.js with every web hosting package that we offer, as the event-driven platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing web hosting account with several clicks. After you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can select how many instances you’d like to get. One instance means that one single app will use the platform and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you want. A new menu will appear in the Control Panel soon afterwards and to start using Node.js, you’ll need to include the path to the .js file that will use it and to select if the connection will proceed through the physical server’s shared IP address or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to restart or to switch off an instance and to check any given application’s output.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered app running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform is included with all our semi-dedicated packages and you can get it with only a few mouse clicks. In case you would like to use it for multiple web sites, you can order more instances from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The setup is as easy as adding the folder path to your .js file and selecting whether Node.js should use a dedicated IP address or any of the server’s shared IP addresses, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you do not have any previous experience with similar software. Our system will also allocate a random port number which will be used to access the .js file associated with the particular app. Hepsia has an intuitive interface that will allow you to restart and to remove any of your existing instances, to add new ones or to see the output of your applications with just one single click.
Node.js in VPS
Node.js is included as standard with each and every virtual private server that comes with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and imposes no restrictions with regard to the number of sites that can use it at any given moment. This makes our Virtual Private Server packages an optimal solution for administering different real-time script-powered applications and for taking full advantage of each of them. Hepsia is user-friendly enough even for individuals with no prior experience, so if you wish to enable Node.js for any app, it will not take more than a couple of clicks to make this. You’ll only have to include the location of the specific .js file and to select whether Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP address or a dedicated IP. Our system will also allocate a specific port number that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you will be all set and ready to use the full potential of your real-time applications. Hepsia will allow you to see the output of the apps and to restart or to discontinue any of your instances using quick-access buttons.
Node.js in Dedicated Hosting
When you decide to use one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages for your script-powered web apps and if you select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page, you will be able to make use of Node.js at no extra charge, as the event-driven platform is available in our custom-built tool. As our servers are astonishingly powerful, you’ll enjoy great results even if you manage a lot of Node.js instances simultaneously. The configuration requires a few mouse clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s graphical user interface will make it quite easy for you to create a new Node.js instance even if you have little or no prior experience. Defining the path to the .js file and choosing a dedicated or a shared IP will be everything that you will have to do yourself and once our system has chosen a port to access that file, you’ll be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you’ve created can be restarted or deleted separately and you will be given access to an exhaustive output log for each of the apps that use the Node.js platform.
