Node.js is an event-driven runtime environment built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It is used for scalable web applications that require live interaction between a server and the online users and can noticeably speed up the performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly supplies tiny bits of info. For instance, in case a new user fills a subscription form, the moment any info is entered in one of the boxes, it’s forwarded to the server even if the rest of the boxes are not filled and the user has not clicked on any button, so the info is processed much faster. In comparison, traditional systems wait for the entire form to be filled and one giant hunk of information is then sent to the server. Irrespective of how little the difference in the information processing time may be, circumstances change if the website grows bigger and there are lots of users using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used by booking sites, interactive web browser-based games or instant messaging clients, for instance, and a lot of corporations, including LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already incorporated it into their services.
Node.js in Shared Hosting
If you host a web app on our innovative cloud website hosting platform and you wish to try Node.js, you will be able to add it to your web hosting account regardless of the shared hosting plan that you’re using. You can make this from the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this upgrade to the account. You will be able to choose the number of instances that you wish 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 add the path to the .js file in your hosting account and select whether that file will be reachable through the shared IP of the server or via a dedicated one. Our platform will also specify a port for the connection. You’ll be able to terminate or to reboot each instance separately, if necessary.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven software application hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform comes bundled with all our packages and you can set it up with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. In case you want to use it for multiple sites, you can enable more instances via the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The setup is as easy as indicating the path to your .js file and selecting whether Node.js should use a dedicated IP or any of the physical server’s shared IPs, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you have no previous experience with a similar software platform. Our system will also assign a randomly generated port which will be used to access the .js file associated with the given application. Hepsia has an easy-to-navigate GUI that will allow you to reboot and to stop any of your active instances, to order new ones or to see your applications’ output with just one click.
Node.js in VPS Web Hosting
Node.js is included by default with each and every virtual private server that comes with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and involves no limitations as to the number of sites that can use it at any particular moment. This makes our VPS packages an excellent solution for managing numerous real-time script-driven applications and for taking full advantage of each of them. Hepsia is intuitive enough even for users without any prior experience, so if you would like to set up Node.js for any application, it will not take more than a few mouse clicks to do it. You will just have to include the folder path to the specific .js file and to choose if Node.js will use the server’s shared IP or a dedicated one. Our platform will also choose a particular port that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you’ll be all set and will be able to take advantage of the full potential of your real-time apps. Hepsia will allow you to check the applications’ output and to reboot or to shut down any of your instances using quick-access controls.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting
You’ll be able to use Node.js with your real-time, script-based software applications at no additional fee in case you acquire any of our dedicated hosting services and pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section through an easy-to-navigate interface, which will enable you to start/terminate/restart any instance or to see the output of the app which uses it with just one click of the mouse. Even if you’re not very experienced, you’ll be able to use the platform, as all you will need to do to activate it is include the location of the .js file and choose the IP that will be used to access the latter – a shared or a dedicated one. A randomly generated port number will be designated automatically as well and you’ll see the upsides of using Node.js momentarily. By combining Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to take advantage of the full potential of your apps and to enjoy the best achievable performance.
