Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable Internet applications. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and an immense number of Internet users much more effectively than any conventional system. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in difference between conventional systems that process the info in giant chunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For instance, if a user needs to fill a few fields on an Internet site, Node.js handles the information in the first field the second it is typed, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single user, but it surely does make a difference when a huge number of users are navigating a site at the same time. Several examples of websites where Node.js can be applied are dining booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, in other words sites that need quick live interaction.
Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting
All Linux cloud website hosting that we offer support Node.js and you can add this avant-garde platform to your web hosting account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will be able to pick the number of instances for this particular upgrade, i.e. how many different platforms/websites will use Node.js at once, and you can get as many instances as you need. Hepsia will also enable you to specify the exact location of your .js app and to decide if you will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a random port specified by our cloud hosting platform. In addition, you can stop or reboot any instance that you have created, edit the location of the .js app or see the active instances’ output with just a few clicks of the mouse from your web hosting Control Panel via an amazingly user-friendly interface.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven web app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform comes with all our semi-dedicated plans and you can order it with just several clicks. If you’d like to use it for several sites, you can add more instances from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The activation is as simple as choosing the folder path to your .js file and choosing if Node.js should use a dedicated IP address or any of the server’s shared IPs, so you can use Node.js even if you lack previous experience with similar software. Our system will also specify a random port which will be used to access the .js file for the particular application. Hepsia has an easy-to-use graphical interface that will permit you to reboot and to delete any of your active instances, to create new ones or to see the output of your apps with just one single click.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
Node.js is available as standard with each and every virtual private server that is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and involves no limitations concerning the number of web sites that can use it at any given time. This makes our Virtual Private Server packages an optimal option for hosting numerous real-time script-based web apps and for making the most of each of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is user-friendly enough even for persons without any previous experience, so if you would like to enable Node.js for any application, it won’t take more than a couple of mouse clicks to do it. You will only need to enter the path to the specific .js file and to select if Node.js will use the server’s shared IP address or a dedicated one. Our system will also designate a specific port number that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you will be all set and will be able to take advantage of the full potential of your real-time applications. Hepsia will allow you to check the output of the applications and to restart or to discontinue any of your instances using quick-access buttons.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
Node.js is available with all Linux dedicated web hosting on which our custom Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter offers 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 just a few easy steps. Once you have uploaded the app’s content, you’ll have to indicate the directory path to the respective .js files that will use Node.js and to choose the IP that they will use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will choose a random port number that will be used to access these files. There is no limit on the total number of instances that you can set up and use at the same time and you’ll have complete control over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to activate new ones or to deactivate/restart existing ones, to review the output log for each application, and many others.
