Node.js is an innovative event-driven system, which is used to build scalable web apps. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a web server and a large number of Internet users much more efficiently than any traditional system. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that unlike traditional platforms which process the information in sizeable chunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For example, when a user has to fill several fields on a website, Node.js processes the info in the first field as soon as it’s entered, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In comparison, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled 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 person, but it actually does make a difference when a huge number of users are navigating a site all at once. A couple of instances of websites where Node.js can be used are dining reservation portals, chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, i.e. sites that offer fast live communication.
Node.js in Website Hosting
All Linux website hosting services that we offer support Node.js and you will be able to add this leading-edge platform to your account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to pick the amount of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many different websites/platforms will make use of Node.js at once, and you can activate as many instances as you wish. Hepsia will also allow you to set the precise path to your .js application and to choose whether you’ll use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible via a random port specified by our cloud hosting platform. Also, you can stop or reboot any instance that you have added, edit the path to the .js app or check the active instances’ output with just several clicks of the mouse from your web hosting Control Panel via a really intuitive graphical interface.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting include Node.js, so if you wish to host any real-time app on our innovative cloud platform, you will be able to use the power that Node.js can offer you with only a few clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. This feature is upgradeable, so in case you’d like to use Node.js for different web sites, you’ll be able to choose the amount of available instances, one instance being one app. Using the Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly graphical interface, you’ll need to indicate the location of the .js file for every instance and to select whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will assign a random port number to access your app and you will see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to view the output of each of your applications or to discontinue/restart each instance separately.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
All VPS hosting that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with Node.js by default and you can take advantage of this event-driven platform for any script-driven software application that you host on the VPS. Since we haven’t set a limitation as to how many Node.js instances you can set up, you can take advantage of the power of our Virtual Private Servers and combine it with the full potential of Node.js. The setup is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s intuitive, point-and-click GUI, so even if you aren’t tech-savvy, you will not come across any difficulties while working with the platform. You’ll only have to indicate the directory path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. Furthermore, our system will also specify a port to access this file and you’ll be able to see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. With just one mouse click, you’ll be able to see the output of your apps and to delete or to restart any instance hosted on the Virtual Private Server.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
You’ll be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-powered applications at no extra charge in case you obtain one of our Linux dedicated hosting services and choose the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section through a simple-to-use GUI, which will allow you to start/terminate/reboot any Node.js instance or to view the output of the app that uses it with just one click of the mouse. Even if you’re not very tech-savvy, you’ll be able to make use of the platform, since all you will have to do to activate it is enter the folder path to the .js file and select the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated IP. A randomly generated port number will be designated automatically too and you will see the advantages of using Node.js right away. By mixing the Node.js platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you’ll be able to make use of the full capacity of your apps and to enjoy the best conceivable performance.
