Node.js is an event-driven environment built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable applications that require real-time communication between a server and the online users and can substantially speed up the performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and constantly supplies tiny amounts of info. For example, in case a new user fills a signup form, the moment any info is inserted in one of the boxes, it is sent to the server even if the remaining boxes are not filled out and the user has not clicked on any button, so the info is processed a whole lot faster. In comparison, traditional systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one huge hunk of information is then forwarded to the server. No matter how tiny the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change in case the site expands and there’re many people using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used by booking sites, interactive browser-based games or instant messaging clients, for example, and numerous corporations, among them LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already incorporated it into their services.
Node.js in Shared Website Hosting
Since Node.js is available on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your account and to utilize it for any web-based app that you’ve got, regardless of which shared website hosting plan you’ve chosen during the subscription process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts, will allow you to pick the number of instances that you wish to run – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. Several minutes later, you’ll be able to enter the path to the application, i.e. the location of the .js file in your web hosting account, as well as to select the IP to receive access to that file – a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to restart an instance or to disable it if you don’t require it anymore. You’ll also be given access to the output code with only one mouse click.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, since the Node.js platform is available with all our semi-dedicated server packages and you can activate it with just a couple of mouse clicks. If you wish to use it for different websites, you can create more instances from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The setup is as easy as entering the folder path to your .js file and selecting whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the server’s shared IPs, so you can make the most of Node.js even if you’ve got no previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also set a random port number that will be used to access the .js file associated with the given app. Hepsia has a user-friendly interface that will permit you to reboot and to discontinue any of your running instances, to add new ones or to view your apps’ output with just one click.
Node.js in VPS Web Hosting
All Linux VPS web hosting that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel include Node.js by default and you can take full advantage of this event-driven platform for any script-based software application that you host on the VPS. As we haven’t set a limitation on the number of instances that you can get, you can use the power of our servers and mix it with the full potential of the Node.js platform. The setup is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly, point ‘n’ click GUI, so even if you’re not tech-savvy, you will not experience any problems while working with the Node.js platform. You’ll only have to insert the directory path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. In addition, our system will also select a port to access this file and you will be able to see it in the corresponding section in the Control Panel. With just a click, you can see the output of your apps and to cancel or to reboot any Node.js instance hosted on the Virtual Private Server.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting
You will be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-driven software apps at no additional charge when you buy any of our Linux dedicated servers hosting and select the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel through a user-friendly interface, which will enable you to start/delete/reboot any Node.js instance or to see the output of the app that uses it with only one click. Even if you are not very experienced, you’ll be able to use the Node.js platform, as all you will need to do to set it up is insert the directory path to the .js file and choose the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated IP. A random port number will be set automatically too and you’ll see the benefits of using Node.js instantaneously. By mixing the Node.js platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to make the most of the full potential of your apps and to enjoy the best possible performance.
