Node.js is an open-source, event-driven platform built with 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 substantially improve the performance of any website that’s using it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly supplies little amounts of information. For example, in case a new user fills a registration form, as soon as any information is inserted in any of the boxes, it is forwarded to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled and the user has not clicked on any button, so the information is handled a whole lot faster. In contrast, conventional systems wait for the whole form to be filled out and one big chunk of information is then forwarded to the server. Regardless of how little the difference in the information processing speed may be, things change when the website expands and there’re a lot of people using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking websites, interactive web browser video games or online chat portals, for instance, and a lot of corporations, among them LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already implemented it in their services.
Node.js in Cloud Web Hosting
If you host an Internet app on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform and you want to try Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your account irrespective of the cloud web hosting plan that you’re using. This can be done through the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this upgrade to your account. You will be able to select how many instances you wish to add to your account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can add the path to the .js file in your hosting account and select if the file in question will be reachable through the server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated IP. Our system will also specify a port for the connection. You will be able to cancel or to reboot each instance independently, if it is necessary.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our semi-dedicated hosting include Node.js, so if you’d like to run any real-time application on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform, you can take full advantage of the power that Node.js can give you with only a couple of clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is upgradeable, so in case you want to use Node.js for multiple Internet sites, you will be able to pick the amount of available instances, one instance being one app. Through Hepsia’s easy-to-navigate GUI, you’ll have to include the location of the .js file for each instance and to select whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will specify a random port to access your app and you will find it in the corresponding Control Panel section. The Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to view the output of any of your applications or to cancel/restart each instance independently.
Node.js in VPS
Node.js is available with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-equipped VPS services that we are offering and you can activate it without having any problem, even if you’ve never worked with it beforehand, since the Hepsia Control Panel offers a simple-to-use, point-and-click graphical interface, which will permit you to do anything effortlessly. The platform can be used for as many web-based applications as you need, so you can get the most out of your websites by combining the power of our VPS servers with the performance provided by Node.js. You have to include the directory path to the .js file in your account and to select if it will use a dedicated IP address or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP and you’ll be all set. The file can be accessed using a port number that our system will generate randomly when you activate a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will grant you complete control over all instances and, with only one click of the mouse, you will be able to start, to stop or to reboot them, as well as to see the output of each application that uses the platform.
Node.js in Dedicated Hosting
Node.js comes bundled with all dedicated hosting on which our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter has an incredibly intuitive and user-friendly graphical interface, so even if you have never worked with the Node.js platform before, you’ll be able to uncover its true potential in only a couple of simple steps. As soon as you have uploaded the app’s content, you will need to enter the folder path to the given .js files that will use Node.js and to select the IP that they will use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will assign a random port number that will be used to access these files. There’s no limitation on the total number of instances that you can activate and run at the same time and you’ll have complete command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to add new ones or to stop/restart existing ones, to see the output log for each app, and so on.
