Node.js is an event-driven runtime system built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used for scalable web applications that require live communication between a web server and the Internet users and can considerably accelerate the performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly provides small amounts of information. For example, in case a new user fills in a subscription form, the second any info is entered in any of the boxes, it is delivered to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the info is handled a whole lot faster. In contrast, other systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one large hunk of information is then delivered to the server. Regardless of how small the difference in the information processing time may be, things change in case the Internet site expands and there are a lot of people using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for online reservation portals, interactive browser games or online chat platforms, for instance, and numerous corporations, including eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already integrated it into their services.
Node.js in Website Hosting
When you host an Internet application on our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform and you wish to try Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your web hosting account regardless of the website hosting plan that you use. This can be done via the Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to use Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this service to the account. You will be able to select how many instances you’d like to add to your account – one instance means that one application will be using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can enter the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and choose if the file in question will be accessible through the shared IP of the server or via a dedicated IP. Our system will also select a port for the connection. You’ll be able to delete or to restart each instance independently, if required.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages offer Node.js, so in case you’d like to run any real-time application on our avant-garde cloud website hosting platform, you can take advantage of the power that the system can offer you with just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is upgradeable, so if you would like to use Node.js for multiple sites, you will be able to pick the number of active instances, one instance being one application. Through the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate graphical interface, you’ll need to specify the path to the .js file for each instance and to select whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will specify a randomly generated port number to access your app and you’ll find it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to view the output of each of your apps or to discontinue/reboot each instance separately.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
You can use Node.js with any of the VPS hosting packages that we offer if you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can set it up with a few clicks of the mouse even if you have no experience with such software, as Hepsia is quite intuitive and simple to work with. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to indicate the path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your VPS’s shared IP address. A randomly generated access port will be assigned automatically as well. There won’t be any limits as to how many websites can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our Virtual Private Servers for lots of sites and enjoy a fabulous performance. Fast-access controls in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section will allow you to start, to shut down or to reboot any instance separately and to check their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
Node.js comes bundled with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages on which our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter has a very intuitive and easy-to-use GUI, so even if you have never used Node.js before, you’ll be able to take advantage of its true potential in only a few easy steps. Once you have uploaded the app’s content, you will have to define the directory path to the respective .js files that will use Node.js and to select the IP address which they will use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will specify a random port that will be used to access these files. There isn’t any restriction on the total amount of Node.js instances that you can enable and run at the same time and you will have full command over them through the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to get new ones or to delete/restart existing ones, to check the output log for each application, and many others.
