Node.js is an advanced event-driven system, which is used to build scalable apps. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and a large number of users more effectively than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in contrast to traditional platforms which process the info in massive hunks, it processes everything in little bits. For instance, when a user needs to fill out several fields on an Internet site, Node.js handles the info in the first field once it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing power more effectively. In comparison, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single person, but it truly does make a difference when an immense number of users are browsing a website at the very same time. A few instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be employed are dinner booking portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, in other words websites that need quick live interaction.
Node.js in Shared Web Hosting
Since Node.js is available on our advanced cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared hosting account and to utilize it for any web application that you’ve got, irrespective of which shared web hosting plan you have picked during the registration process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all hosting accounts, will permit you to choose the number of instances that you want to run – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A few minutes after that, you will be able to add the path to the app, i.e. where the .js file will be located in your shared hosting account, as well as to pick the IP to receive access to the file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel, you can reboot an instance or to delete it if you no longer require it. You’ll also gain access to the output code with just a single mouse click.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based software app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform comes with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and you can set it up with only a few clicks. In case you would like to use it for multiple web sites, you can create more instances via the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The setup is as simple as indicating the path to your .js file and choosing whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared IP addresses, so you can make the most of Node.js even if you have no previous experience with a similar software platform. Our system will also designate a randomly generated port which will be used to access the .js file for the particular application. Hepsia has a simple-to-navigate interface that will allow you to restart and to remove any of your existing instances, to get new ones or to check your applications’ output with just a click.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
Node.js is offered by default with each virtual private server that comes with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and involves no constraints concerning the number of web sites that can use it at any particular moment. This makes our VPS plans a perfect option for managing numerous real-time applications and for making the most of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is user-friendly enough even for persons with no prior experience, so if you’d like to set up Node.js for any app, it will not take more than a few clicks of the mouse to make this. You’ll simply need to specify the location of the given .js file and to select whether Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP or a dedicated IP. Our system will also specify a certain port that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you will be all set and will be able to use the full potential of your real-time apps. Hepsia will permit you to see the output of the apps and to reboot or to deactivate any of your instances using quick-access buttons.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
You will be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-based software applications at no additional cost if you get any of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages and choose the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Node.js section of the Hepsia CP via a simple-to-navigate GUI, which will enable you to start/remove/restart any instance or to check the output of the app which uses it with only one click. Even if you aren’t very tech-savvy, you will be able to make use of the platform, since all you’ll need to do to activate it is insert the folder path to the .js file and pick the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated one. A random port will be set automatically too and you’ll notice the upsides of using Node.js right away. By combining Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you’ll be able to use the full capacity of your apps and to enjoy the best possible performance.
