Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable web applications. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and an immense number of users more effectively than any conventional system. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in contrast to conventional platforms that process the information in sizeable chunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. As an illustration, in case a user has to fill out a few fields on a site, Node.js handles the info from the first field the second it is typed, utilizing the server’s processing resources more effectively. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the information from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single user, but it indeed does make a difference when an enormous number of individuals are navigating a website at the very same time. A few examples of sites where Node.js can be used are online dinner reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, i.e. websites that need fast live communication.
Node.js in Website Hosting
As Node.js is available on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your shared account and to use it for any web app that you have, regardless of which website hosting plan you have selected during the signup process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting accounts, will permit you to choose the number of instances that you would like to use – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. Several minutes later, you will be able to specify the path to the app, in other words the location of the .js file in your web hosting account, as well as to select the IP address to receive access to that file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. In the new Node.js menu that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to restart an instance or to cancel it if you no longer want it. You will also be given access to the output code with only a mouse click.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can make use of all the advantages that the Node.js platform offers, since it is comes with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and you’re able to add it to your semi-dedicated account with several clicks from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server management tool that is included with each semi-dedicated server. If you wish to use Node.js for multiple web apps, you can choose the amount of instances that the platform will use when you’re adding this service to your semi-dedicated plan. After that, you’ll have to specify the location of the .js file in your account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will show up in the Control Panel after you add the upgrade and during the process, you can also choose if the path to the particular application will go through a dedicated IP – if you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP. Each and every instance that you add can be rebooted or deactivated independently and you can see your apps’ output with just several clicks of the mouse.
Node.js in VPS Web Hosting
Node.js is included as standard with each and every virtual private server that comes with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and imposes no limitations as to the number of websites that can use it at any particular time. This makes our Virtual Private Server plans an excellent solution for building numerous real-time script-powered applications and for making the most of each of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is intuitive enough even for people without any prior experience, so if you’d like to activate Node.js for any app, it will not take more than a few clicks to do it. You’ll simply need to indicate the folder path to the given .js file and to choose whether Node.js will use the server’s shared IP or a dedicated one. Our system will also assign a particular port that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you will be all set and will be able to take advantage of the full potential of your real-time applications. Hepsia will permit you to check the output of the applications and to restart or to delete any of your instances using quick-access controls.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting
If you decide to get any of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages for your script-based web 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 extra charge, as this event-driven platform is integrated into our in-house built Control Panel tool. As our servers are amazingly powerful, you will get stunning results even if you host plenty of Node.js instances simultaneously. The setup takes a few clicks and Hepsia’s user interface will make it amazingly easy for you to activate a new instance even if you have little or no prior experience. Inserting the .js file path and choosing a dedicated or a shared IP will be everything that you will need to do yourself and once our system has set a port number to access the .js file, you will be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you’ve activated can be rebooted or stopped separately and you’ll get access to an in-depth output log for each application that uses the Node.js platform.
