Node.js is an event-driven platform built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used by scalable apps that need live interaction between a server and the online users and can substantially enhance the overall performance of any Internet site that’s using it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP requests and responses and constantly delivers little bits of info. For instance, in case a new user fills a subscription form, as soon as any information is entered in any of the boxes, it is submitted to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the information is processed much faster. In contrast, conventional systems wait for the whole form to be filled and one large chunk of information is then forwarded to the server. Irrespective of how small the difference in the information processing time may be, things change in case the website expands and there are many people using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for online booking portals, real-time browser-based video games or instant messaging software, for instance, and lots of companies, including Yahoo, eBay and LinkedIn, have already included it in their services.
Node.js in Website Hosting
All Linux website hosting packages offered by us include Node.js and you’ll be able to add this advanced event-driven platform to your shared hosting account via the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can pick the number of instances for this upgrade, in other words how many different platforms/sites will utilize Node.js at the same time, and you can run as many instances as you want. The Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to select the precise location of your .js application and to select if you’ll use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a randomly generated port given by our cloud platform. In addition, you can stop or reboot any instance that you have activated, change the path to the .js app or check the output of the active instances with just a few clicks from your web hosting Control Panel using a truly intuitive interface.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our semi-dedicated packages offer Node.js, so in case you would like to run any real-time app on our leading-edge cloud platform, you’ll be able to use the power that Node.js can offer you with just several clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is upgradeable, so if you’d like to use Node.js for multiple web sites, you’ll be able to select the number of running instances, one instance being one app. Through Hepsia’s simple-to-use GUI, you will need to indicate the path to the .js file for every instance and to select if Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared IP. Our platform will set a random port number to access your app and you will find it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. The Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to see the output of each of your applications or to discontinue/restart each instance separately.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
Node.js is available with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-equipped Linux VPS hosting packages offered by us and you can configure it without coming across any difficulty, even if you haven’t used it before, since Hepsia offers an easy-to-use, point-and-click graphical interface, which will allow you to do anything with ease. The Node.js platform can be used for as many script-driven apps as you like, so you can get the most out of your websites by combining the power of our VPS servers with the performance that the Node.js platform offers. You’ll have to specify the path to the .js file in your account and to select if it will use a dedicated IP address or your Virtual Private Server’s shared one and you will be all set. The file can be accessed using a port that our system will allocate randomly when you add a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will give you complete control over all instances and, with just one mouse click, you’ll be able to start, to remove or to restart them, as well as to see the output of each application that uses the Node.js platform.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
Node.js comes bundled with all Linux dedicated web hosting on which our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter offers an incredibly simple and easy-to-navigate graphical interface, so even if you’ve never used Node.js before, you can uncover its true potential in only a couple of easy steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you will need to define the directory path to the specific .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to pick the IP which they’ll use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will select a random port that will be used to access the files in question. There is no restriction on the total number of instances that you can enable and use simultaneously and you will have total control over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to get new ones or to remove/restart existing ones, to revise the output log for each application, etc.
