Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime system built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable web apps that require real-time interaction between a server and the online users and can significantly boost the performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly supplies tiny amounts of information. For example, if a new user fills a signup form, as soon as any info is entered in one of the fields, it is forwarded to the server even if the remaining fields are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the info is handled a whole lot faster. In contrast, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled out and one large hunk of information is then submitted to the server. Irrespective of how small the difference in the information processing speed may be, things change if the site grows bigger and there’re many people using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking portals, interactive web browser games or instant messaging applications, for instance, and plenty of corporations, including LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already included it in their services.
Node.js in Hosting
You can use Node.js with each hosting package that we are offering, since the platform is available on our cloud servers and can be added to an active account with several clicks of the mouse. After you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can select how many instances you want to activate. One instance means that one app will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your account as you want. A new section will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel soon after that and to begin using Node.js, you’ll need to add the path to the .js file that will use it and to choose whether the connection will proceed through the physical server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to reboot or to turn off an instance and to view the output of any given application.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can use all the benefits that the Node.js event-driven platform is offering, due to the fact that it’s is included with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and you can add it to your semi-dedicated account with a few mouse clicks from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server administration tool that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server. In case you want to employ Node.js for multiple web-based apps, you can pick the number of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this feature to your semi-dedicated plan. Then, you will have to enter the path to the .js file in your account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel after you order the upgrade and during the process, you can also choose if the path to the specific application should go through a dedicated IP – if you’ve got one, or through the server’s shared IP. Each instance that you order can be rebooted or deactivated independently and you can check the output of your apps with only a few clicks.
Node.js in VPS Web Hosting
All VPS web hosting services that are ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel offer Node.js as standard and you can take full advantage of this platform for each Internet app that you host on the VPS. As we have not put a limit as to the number of Node.js instances that you can get, you can make full use of the power of our virtual servers and mix it with the full capacity of Node.js. The configuration is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly, point & click graphical interface, so even if you aren’t technically experienced, you will not need to cope with any obstacles while working with the Node.js platform. You will only have to enter the folder path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What’s more, our system will also assign a port to access this file and you will be able to find it in the corresponding section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With only one click of the mouse, you will be able to check the output of your apps and to terminate or to reboot any Node.js instance running on the server.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Node.js is offered with all Linux dedicated servers hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you’ll be able to take advantage of this event-driven platform as soon as your machine is set up. Since the Hepsia Control Panel is rather simple to use, you will be able to make that without coming across any complications, even if you haven’t used Node.js before, since everything that you’ll have to do on your end is indicate the directory path to the .js file that will use the platform and the IP that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other Internet sites. You can create as many Node.js instances as you want on our really powerful machines and each instance can be controlled independently – you’ll be able to start, to reboot or to deactivate it, to see the output of the application that uses it, etc. You can do this via the simple-to-use, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make full use of the power of Node.js effortlessly.
