Node.js is an innovative event-driven system, which is used to build scalable Internet apps. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a server and an enormous number of users more effectively than any other platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in contrast to traditional systems which process the info in large chunks, it processes everything in little bits. For example, in case a user needs to fill in several fields on a site, Node.js processes the info from the first field the moment it’s typed, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In contrast, conventional systems wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it undoubtedly does make a difference if a large number of people are visiting a site at once. Several examples of websites where Node.js can be used are online dinner booking portals, chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. sites that need quick live interaction.
Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting
All Linux cloud website hosting that we’re offering include Node.js and you’re able to add this advanced platform to your shared hosting account using the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia Control Panel. You can select the number of instances for this particular upgrade, i.e. how many different sites/platforms will utilize Node.js at once, and you can add as many instances as you wish. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to choose the exact path to your .js application and to choose if you will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible via a random port number allocated by our cloud platform. Also, you can stop or restart any instance that you’ve added, edit the path to the .js application or see the active instances’ output with just several clicks from your hosting Control Panel via an amazingly simple-to-navigate graphical interface.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our semi-dedicated hosting offer Node.js, so if you want to host any real-time application on our innovative cloud web hosting platform, you can take full advantage of the power that the system can give you with just several clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is upgradeable, so in case you wish to use Node.js for different websites, you’ll be able to select the amount of available instances, one instance being one application. Through the Hepsia Control Panel’s intuitive GUI, you’ll have to include the location of the .js file for every instance and to choose whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will allocate a random port to access your application and you’ll see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. Hepsia will also allow you to check the output of each of your apps or to deactivate/restart each instance independently.
Node.js in VPS
You can run Node.js with any of the VPS that we offer in case you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can set it up with a couple of clicks even if you don’t have any experience with such a software platform, as Hepsia is exceptionally intuitive and easy to work with. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to add the folder 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 Virtual Private Server’s shared IP. A randomly generated access port number will be allocated automatically as well. There won’t be any limit on how many websites can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our virtual servers for lots of sites and enjoy a fantastic overall performance. Quick-access controls in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to start, to shut down or to restart any Node.js instance independently and to check their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Hosting
Node.js comes bundled with all Linux dedicated hosting on which our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter has an incredibly intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface, so even if you’ve never used the Node.js platform before, you’ll be able to unleash its true potential in only a couple of easy steps. Once you have uploaded the application’s content, you will need to specify the path to the respective .js files that will use Node.js and to pick the IP address which they’ll use (dedicated or shared), while our system will set a randomly generated port number that will be used to access the files in question. There’s no limit on the total number of Node.js instances that you can set up and run simultaneously and you’ll have full command over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to activate new ones or to delete/restart existing ones, to see the output log for each application, and so on.
