Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable Internet applications. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a server and an enormous number of users much more efficiently than any traditional system. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in difference between conventional platforms which handle the info in huge chunks, it processes everything in little bits. For example, if a user has to fill in a couple of fields on a website, Node.js processes the info in the first field the second it’s inserted, utilizing the server’s processing resources more effectively. In contrast, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it actually does make a difference if an immense number of individuals are browsing a site at the same time. A couple of examples of websites where Node.js can be applied are online dinner booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, i.e. websites that support fast live communication.
Node.js in Shared Website Hosting
You can make use of Node.js with each and every shared website hosting plan offered by our company, as the platform is available on our cloud servers and can be added to an active shared hosting account with a couple of clicks. Once you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can pick the number of instances that you want to get. One instance means that one single application will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your hosting account as you need. A new section will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly after that and to start using Node.js, you will have to indicate the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose if the connection should go through the physical server’s shared IP or via a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to restart or to switch off an instance and to check any given application’s output.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support Node.js, so in case you would like to host any real-time application on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to use the power that the system can give you with just several clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The feature is upgradeable, so in case you’d like to use Node.js for multiple websites, you’ll be able to choose the amount of active instances, one instance being one application. Through Hepsia’s simple-to-use interface, you will need to insert the location of the .js file for every instance and to select whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. Our platform will designate a randomly generated port number to access your application and you’ll see it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. Hepsia will also permit you to view the output of each of your applications or to terminate/restart each instance separately.
Node.js in VPS Web Hosting
Node.js is available with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-managed Linux VPS web hosting that we are offering and you can configure it without having any problem, even if you’ve never worked with it before, since the Hepsia Control Panel offers a user-friendly, point-and-click GUI, which will permit you to do anything without any efforts. The Node.js platform can be used for as many web apps as you like, so you can make the most of your websites by combining the power of our servers with the performance that the Node.js platform provides. You’ll need to specify the directory path to the .js file within your account and to choose if it will use a dedicated IP or your VPS’s shared one and you will be all set. The file can be accessed using a port number that our system will select randomly when you create a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will grant you complete control over all Node.js instances and, with just one click of the mouse, you will be able to start, to discontinue or to reboot them, as well as to see the output of each application that uses the Node.js platform.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Node.js is offered with all Linux dedicated servers hosting on which our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter has an amazingly simple and easy-to-use GUI, so even if you have not used the Node.js platform before, you will be able to unleash its full potential in just a couple of simple steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you will need to specify the directory path to the specific .js files that will use Node.js and to choose the IP address that they will use (shared or dedicated), while our system will set a random port that will be used to access these files. There’s no limit on the total amount of Node.js instances that you can activate and use at the same time and you will exert total command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to set up new ones or to remove/restart existing ones, to review the output log for each application, and so on.
