Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used for scalable web applications that require real-time communication between a server and the Internet users and can substantially speed up the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and incessantly delivers tiny amounts of information. For instance, if a new user fills in a signup form, once any info is inserted in any of the fields, it’s submitted to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the info is processed a whole lot faster. In contrast, conventional systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one giant chunk of information is then sent to the server. Regardless of how small the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change when the website grows bigger and there are many people using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking sites, interactive browser video games or live chat systems, for example, and a lot of corporations, including Yahoo, LinkedIn and eBay, have already incorporated it into their services.
Node.js in Web Hosting
All Linux web hosting that we offer come with Node.js and you’re able to add this innovative event-driven platform to your shared web hosting account via the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will be able to pick the number of instances for this particular upgrade, i.e. how many separate platforms/websites will use Node.js at the same time, and you can run as many instances as you like. Hepsia will also permit you to set the exact path to your .js application and to decide whether you’ll 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 system. What’s more, you can stop or reboot any instance that you’ve created, modify the location of the .js application or check the active instances’ output with just several clicks from your hosting Control Panel via an incredibly easy-to-navigate interface.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform is available with all our semi-dedicated packages and you can get it with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. If you wish to use it for multiple web sites, you can enable more instances via the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The setup is as easy as inserting the path to your .js file and selecting whether the platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared ones, so you can make use of Node.js even if you lack previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also allocate a random port that will be used to access the .js file for the specific app. Hepsia has an easy to work with interface that will allow you to reboot and to terminate any of your active instances, to add new ones or to check the output of your applications with just one click.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
Node.js comes with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-equipped Linux VPS hosting that we’re offering and you can activate it without any obstacles, even if you’ve never worked with it beforehand, because the Hepsia Control Panel offers an easy-to-use, point ‘n’ click graphical interface, which will permit you to do anything with ease. The platform can be used for as many script-based apps as you like, so you can make the most of your web sites by mixing the power of our virtual servers with the performance offered by Node.js. You need to indicate the location of the .js file in your account and to choose whether it will use a dedicated IP address or your virtual server’s shared one and you’ll be all set. Accessing the file will be possible using a port that our system will allocate randomly when you activate a new Node.js instance. The Hepsia Control Panel will grant you full control over all Node.js instances and, with just one mouse click, you’ll be able to start, to delete or to reboot them, as well as to view the output of each application that uses the platform.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
You will be able to use the Node.js platform with your real-time, script-driven web apps at no additional cost in case you acquire any of our Linux dedicated web hosting and choose the Hepsia Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Node.js section of the Hepsia CP through an easy-to-work-with graphical interface, which will permit you to start/remove/reboot any Node.js instance or to check the output of the app that uses it with only one click. Even if you’re not very experienced, you’ll be able to use the platform, since all you have to do to activate it is insert the path to the .js file and select the IP that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared one. A random port will be assigned automatically too and you will notice the advantages of running Node.js straight away. By combining Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you can take advantage of the full potential of your applications and to get the best achievable performance.
