Node.js is an event-driven system built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used for scalable apps that need live communication between a server and the Internet users and can tremendously improve the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and constantly delivers tiny amounts of info. For example, in case a new user fills a signup form, once any information is inserted in one of the fields, it is submitted to the server even if the other boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the information is processed a lot faster. In contrast, traditional platforms wait for the entire form to be filled and one large hunk of information is then delivered to the server. No matter how little the difference in the information processing time may be, things change when the Internet site grows bigger and there are a lot of persons using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for online reservation portals, real-time web browser-based games or live chat platforms, for example, and a lot of companies, among them eBay, LinkedIn and Yahoo, have already integrated it into their services.
Node.js in Shared Hosting
As Node.js is available on our cutting-edge cloud platform, you will be able to add it to your shared web hosting account and to utilize it for any web-based app that you’ve got, regardless of which shared hosting package you have picked during the subscription process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all web hosting accounts, will allow you to pick the number of instances that you wish to get – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. Several minutes afterwards, you will be able to include the path to the app, in other words the location of the .js file in your web hosting account, as well as to choose the IP address to access that file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Control Panel, you will be able to reboot an instance or to delete it if you do not want it any longer. You’ll also be provided with access to the output code with just one click.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based software application running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the Node.js platform comes with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you can get it with just a couple of mouse clicks. In case you’d like to use it for different web sites, you can order more instances via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The activation is as easy as indicating the folder path to your .js file and choosing whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the server’s shared ones, so you can make the most of Node.js even if you lack previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also set a randomly generated port number which will be used to access the .js file associated with the particular app. Hepsia has an intuitive interface that will allow you to reboot and to remove any of your running instances, to add new ones or to view the output of your applications with just one single click.
Node.js in VPS Servers
You can activate Node.js with any of the Linux VPS web hosting service that we are offering in case you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its very own section where you can set it up with a few clicks of the mouse even if you don’t have any experience with similar software, since Hepsia is pretty intuitive and simple to navigate. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to add the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your VPS’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port number will be allocated automatically too. There won’t be any restrictions as to the number of the websites that can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our virtual servers for multiple sites and enjoy an exceptional performance. Quick-access controls in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to start, to delete or to restart any Node.js instance separately and to check their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js comes with all Linux dedicated service that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you’ll be able to take advantage of the event-driven platform once your dedicated server is set up. As the Hepsia Control Panel is amazingly simple to use, you’ll be able to do that without any difficulty, even if you have never worked with the Node.js platform before, as everything that you will need to do on your end is specify the location of the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP address that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other sites. You can run as many Node.js instances as you need on our stunningly powerful servers and each of them can be controlled separately – you’ll be able to start, to restart or to terminate it, to view the output of the application using it, etc. This can be done via the user-friendly, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make use of the power of the Node.js platform with ease.
