Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven system, which is used to set up scalable Internet apps. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a server and a huge number of Internet users more efficiently than any other system. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in contrast to conventional systems that process the information in giant hunks, it processes everything in little bits. For instance, when a user has to fill a couple of fields on a website, Node.js handles the information from the first field once it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing resources more effectively. In contrast, conventional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be negligible for one single user, but it truly does make a difference if a huge number of users are browsing a website at once. Several instances of websites where Node.js can be used are online dinner reservation portals, chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, i.e. sites that offer fast real-time interaction.
Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting
Since Node.js is present on our innovative cloud platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared web hosting account and to utilize it for any web-based app that you have, irrespective of which cloud website hosting package you’ve selected at signup. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all shared website hosting account, will allow you to choose the number of instances that you wish to run – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes afterwards, you can add the path to the app, i.e. the location of the .js file in your account, as well as to pick the IP address to acquire access to the file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to reboot an instance or to deactivate it if you do not require it anymore. You’ll also be provided with access to the output code with just one click.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based software application hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform is included with all our semi-dedicated server packages and you can activate it with only several clicks. If you want to use it for different Internet sites, you can add more instances via the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The setup is as easy as indicating the location of your .js file and selecting if the platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared ones, so you can use Node.js even if you haven’t got any previous experience with such a software platform. Our system will also select a random port number that will be used to access the .js file associated with the particular app. Hepsia has an intuitive GUI that will permit you to restart and to discontinue any of your running instances, to add new ones or to see your applications’ output with just one single click.
Node.js in VPS Servers
Node.js is offered as standard with each VPS server that is ordered with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and imposes no restrictions with regard to the number of sites that can use it at any particular time. This makes our VPS packages an ideal choice for administering multiple real-time script-powered apps and for taking full advantage of them. Hepsia is user-friendly enough even for users with no previous experience, so if you wish to enable Node.js for any application, it won’t take more than a couple of mouse clicks to make this. You’ll just have to add the location of the .js file in question and to select if Node.js will use the server’s shared IP or a dedicated IP. Our platform will also specify a specific port that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you will be all set and ready to use the full potential of your real-time apps. Hepsia will enable you to see the apps’ output and to reboot or to terminate any of your instances using quick-access controls.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js comes bundled with all Linux dedicated servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you’ll be able to make the most of the event-driven platform as soon as your dedicated server is assembled. As the Hepsia Control Panel is pretty easy to use, you will be able to make that without any problem, even if you have never worked with the Node.js platform before, as everything that you’ll have to do on your end is insert the folder path to the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP address that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other sites. You can activate as many Node.js instances as you need on our incredibly powerful servers and each instance can be managed separately – you’ll be able to start, to reboot or to discontinue it, to check the output of the application that uses it, etc. You can do this via the simple-to-use, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can use the power of Node.js without any effort.
