Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable apps. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a web server and an immense number of Internet users much more efficiently than any traditional system. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in difference between traditional systems that process the information in giant hunks, it processes everything in tiny bits. For instance, when a user has to fill a couple of fields on a website, Node.js handles the information in the first field as soon as it’s inserted, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more effectively. In comparison, conventional 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 negligible for a single person, but it truly does make a difference when a large number of individuals are using a website at the very same time. A few examples of websites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner booking portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, in other words websites that support fast live interaction.
Node.js in Cloud Hosting
As Node.js is available on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your account and to utilize it for any web app that you’ve got, irrespective of which cloud hosting plan you have chosen during the order process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes bundled with all shared accounts, will allow you to choose the number of instances that you would like to have – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. A few minutes afterwards, you’ll be able to define the path to the application, in other words where the .js file will be located in your shared website hosting account, as well as to select the IP to obtain access to that file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Control Panel, you will be able to reboot an instance or to terminate it if you don’t need it anymore. You’ll also acquire access to the output code with only a click.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order a semi-dedicated server account from us, you’ll be able to take advantage of the full potential of Node.js with any Internet app that you host on our cloud hosting platform, due to the fact that it is included with each semi-dedicated plan that we are offering. You can add the number of instances, or apps which can use Node.js, via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can administer your account. The only things that you’ll have do after that will be to insert the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to choose the IP that will be used to access this file. You can pick a dedicated IP if you have one, or any of the server’s shared IPs. Our system will also choose a randomly generated port number. Using the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you will be able to see a given application’s output or to start/reboot/remove any of the instances that you have added.
Node.js in VPS Servers
All VPS servers that are ordered with our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel offer Node.js as standard and you can take advantage of the event-driven platform for each script-powered web app that you host on the Virtual Private Server. Since we have not set any limitation as to how many Node.js instances you can use, you can take advantage of the power of our Virtual Private Servers and mix it with the full potential of Node.js. The setup is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s intuitive, point-and-click graphical interface, so even if you aren’t technically proficient, you won’t encounter any obstacles while working with the Node.js platform. You will just need to include 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 number to access this file and you will be able to find it in the corresponding section in the Control Panel. With only a click, you can view your applications’ output and to deactivate or to restart any instance running on the Virtual Private Server.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js comes with all dedicated service on which our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter has an amazingly simple and user-friendly graphical interface, so even if you haven’t used the Node.js platform before, you will be able to unleash its true potential in only a few easy steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you will need to insert the directory path to the respective .js files that will use Node.js and to select the IP address which they’ll use (shared or dedicated), while our system will choose a random port that will be used to access the files in question. There isn’t any limit on the total number of instances that you can enable and run at the same time and you will exert total control over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to order new ones or to discontinue/reboot existing ones, to view the output log for each app, and many others.
