Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven system, which is used to create scalable web applications. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and an immense number of users more effectively than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that unlike conventional platforms which handle the information in giant hunks, it handles everything in small bits. For instance, if a user needs to fill out a couple of fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the information in the first field the second it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more efficiently. In comparison, conventional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single user, but it surely does make a difference if an immense number of individuals are navigating a site at once. A few examples of websites where Node.js can be applied are online dinner reservation portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, in other words sites that support fast live communication.
Node.js in Shared Hosting
All shared hosting that we offer include Node.js and you can add this leading-edge event-driven platform to your shared web hosting account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. You can select the number of instances for this specific upgrade, in other words how many different websites/platforms will use Node.js simultaneously, and you can order as many instances as you need. Hepsia will also enable you to select the location of your .js application and to select if you will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a randomly generated port number assigned by our cloud platform. On top of that, you can stop or reboot any instance that you have activated, change the location of the .js app or view the output of the running instances with just a few clicks of the mouse from your hosting Control Panel using an incredibly easy-to-use GUI.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can use all the benefits that the Node.js platform has, as it’s available with all our semi-dedicated plans and you’re able to add it to your account with several clicks from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the account management tool that’s included with each and every semi-dedicated server. In case you wish to use Node.js for different Internet apps, you can pick the amount of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this service to your semi-dedicated plan. Then, you’ll need to enter the path to the .js file in your account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel after you add the upgrade and during the process, you can also select if the access path to the given app will go through a dedicated IP address – if you have one, or through the server’s shared IP address. Each instance that you order can be rebooted or deactivated separately and you can view the output of your apps with just a couple of clicks of the mouse.
Node.js in VPS Servers
Node.js comes with all Hepsia Control Panel-managed Linux VPS servers offered by us and you can set it up without experiencing any problem, even if you’ve never used it beforehand, because Hepsia has an easy to work with, point-and-click interface, which will permit you to do anything without any effort. The Node.js platform can be used for as many script-driven web applications as you want, so you can make the most of your Internet sites by mixing the power of our Virtual Private Servers with the performance that Node.js offers. You will have to specify the folder path to the .js file within your VPS account and to select if it will use a dedicated IP or your VPS server’s shared IP and you’ll be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port number that our system will set randomly when you activate a new Node.js instance. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you full control over all instances and, with just one click of the mouse, you’ll be able to start, to delete or to restart them, as well as to see the output of each application that uses the Node.js platform.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js is available with all Linux dedicated servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to make use of the event-driven platform once your physical server is assembled. As Hepsia is rather intuitive, you’ll be able to make that without coming across any problem, even if you have not worked with Node.js before, as everything that you’ll need to do on your end is include the location of the .js file that will use the platform and the IP address that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other Internet sites. You can set up as many instances as you like on our powerful dedicated servers and each of them can be managed separately – you’ll be able to start, to restart or to remove it, to see the output of the application that uses it, etc. This can be done through the easy-to-use, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make the most of the power of Node.js without effort.
