Node.js is an event-driven environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable applications that require real-time communication between a server and the worldwide web users and can significantly improve the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and constantly provides little bits of info. For instance, if a new user fills out a signup form, the moment any info is inserted in any of the boxes, it’s forwarded to the server even if the other fields are not filled and the user has not clicked any button, so the information is processed a lot faster. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled out and one giant hunk of information is then delivered to the server. Irrespective of how small the difference in the information processing speed may be, things change in case the website grows bigger and there are many persons using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for online reservation portals, real-time browser-based games or online chat apps, for example, and plenty of corporations, among them LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already included it in their services.
Node.js in Shared Hosting
As Node.js is present on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your shared account and to utilize it for any web-based application that you’ve got, regardless of which shared hosting package you have chosen during the signup process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with all accounts, will permit you to select the number of instances that you want to get – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes afterwards, you’ll be able to add the path to the application, in other words the location of the .js file in your shared website hosting account, as well as to choose the IP to gain access to that file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Control Panel, you can restart an instance or to cancel it in case you no longer need it. You will also receive access to the output code with just one click of the mouse.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to make use of the full potential of Node.js with any web-based application that you host on our cloud platform, since it’s available with each and every semi-dedicated server package that we offer. You can add the number of instances, or apps which can use Node.js, via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can administer your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you’ll have do after that will be to include the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select the IP address that will be used to access that file. You can select a dedicated IP in case you have one, or any of the server’s shared IP addresses. Our platform will also set a randomly generated port. Using the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you can see a given application’s output or to start/reboot/remove any of the instances that you’ve activated.
Node.js in VPS Servers
You can take advantage of Node.js with any of the VPS hosting plans offered by us if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The platform will have its own section where you can configure it with a few clicks of the mouse even if you don’t have any experience with a similar software platform, as Hepsia is amazingly intuitive and easy to navigate. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to add the directory path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP address. A randomly generated access port will be set automatically too. There won’t be any limits on the number of the Internet sites that can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our virtual servers for numerous websites and enjoy a terrific performance. Quick-access buttons in the Node.js section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to start, to delete or to restart any instance independently and to view their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-driven software apps at no additional fee when you get one of our dedicated web hosting plans and choose the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section through a simple-to-use GUI, which will allow you to start/terminate/reboot any instance or to see the output of the app which uses it with only a click. Even if you are not very tech-savvy, you’ll be able to make use of the Node.js platform, as all you will need to do to set it up is include the location of the .js file and choose the IP address that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared one. A randomly generated port will be allocated automatically as well and you will notice the benefits of running Node.js immediately. By combining Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you can make the most of the full capacity of your applications and to enjoy the best achievable performance.
