Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime system built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used by scalable apps that need live interaction between a web server and the online users and can noticeably speed up the performance of any site that’s using it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly delivers little bits of info. For example, in case a new user fills out a signup form, once any information is entered in any of the boxes, it is delivered to the server even if the remaining boxes are not filled and the user has not clicked on any button, so the information is processed much faster. In comparison, conventional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one giant chunk of information is then forwarded to the server. No matter how small the difference in the information processing time may be, circumstances change if the Internet site grows bigger and there are lots of users using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking sites, interactive browser-based games or web-based chat portals, for instance, and plenty of companies, including LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already implemented it in their services.
Node.js in Cloud Hosting
You can make use of Node.js with each cloud hosting package offered by us, as the platform is available on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing account with several clicks of the mouse. After you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will find Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can choose how many instances you’d like to add. One instance means that one single application will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your account as you like. A new menu will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly afterwards and to start using Node.js, you’ll have to specify the path to the .js file that will use it and to choose whether the connection should proceed through the physical server’s shared IP or through a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also allow you to reboot or to turn off an instance and to check any given app’s output.
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 has, as it’s is included with all our plans and you are able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with a few clicks from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel – the account administration tool that comes bundled with every semi-dedicated server. In case you’d like to employ Node.js for multiple Internet applications, you can choose the amount of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this feature to your semi-dedicated plan. After that, you’ll need to add the path to the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel after you order the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also select 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 and every instance that you run can be restarted or removed independently and you can see the output of your applications with only a few clicks of the mouse.
Node.js in VPS
Node.js comes with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-managed Linux VPS offered by us and you can activate it without having to cope with any problem, even if you have not used it before, as Hepsia has an easy-to-navigate, point & click graphical interface, which will allow you to do anything without any effort. The platform can be used for as many script-driven software applications as you want, so you can make the most of your websites by mixing the power of our servers with the performance provided by the Node.js platform. You’ll have to add the path to the .js file within your account and to select whether it will use a dedicated IP or your virtual machine’s shared IP and you will be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port number that our system will allocate randomly when you set up a new Node.js instance. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you full control over all Node.js instances and, with just a click, you will be able to start, to discontinue or to reboot them, as well as to see the output of each app that uses the Node.js platform.
Node.js in Dedicated Hosting
When you decide to use any of our Linux dedicated hosting for your script-driven applications and if you select the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you will be able to make use of Node.js at no additional fee, since this event-driven platform is built into our custom-built tool. As our servers are pretty powerful, you will get great results even if you host numerous Node.js instances at once. The setup takes a few clicks and Hepsia’s graphical user interface will make it quite easy for you to create a new instance even if you’ve got little or no experience. Entering the .js file path and choosing a dedicated or a shared IP address will be everything that you’ll need to do on your end and once our system has selected a port to access that file, you’ll be all set. Any of the instances that you’ve activated can be restarted or deleted separately and you’ll be granted with access to an exhaustive output log for each of the apps that use the Node.js platform.
