Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable apps. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a server and a large number of users much more effectively than any other platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in difference between traditional platforms which handle the info in massive chunks, it handles everything in little bits. For instance, if a user has to fill out a few fields on a site, Node.js processes the information from the first field as soon as it is typed, utilizing the server’s processing resources more effectively. In comparison, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it surely does make a difference if a huge number of users are visiting a site at the same time. A couple of examples of sites where Node.js can be employed are dining booking portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, in other words websites that offer quick live interaction.
Node.js in Hosting
As Node.js is present on our innovative cloud platform, you will be able to add it to your hosting account and to utilize it for any web app that you’ve got, regardless of which hosting package you’ve picked during the subscription process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all hosting accounts, will permit you to pick the number of instances that you want to activate – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. A few minutes after that, you can specify the path to the application, i.e. where the .js file will be located in your shared website hosting account, as well as to pick the IP address to gain access to that file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Control Panel, you can restart an instance or to deactivate it in case you don’t need it any longer. You will also get access to the output code with only one click.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server package from us, you will be able to use the full potential of Node.js with any web-based app that you host on our cloud web hosting platform, due to the fact that it comes with each package that we offer. You can specify the number of instances, or apps that can use Node.js, from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can control your account. The only things that you will have to do after that will be to specify the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to pick the IP that will be used in order to access this file. You can choose a dedicated IP in case you’ve got one, or any of the server’s shared IPs. Our system will also set a random port number. Using the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you’re able to see a given application’s output or to start/reboot/shut down any of the instances that you’ve added.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
Node.js is included by default with each virtual private server that is ordered with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and imposes no constraints regarding the number of sites that can use it at any given moment. This makes our Virtual Private Server packages an ideal option for running numerous real-time script-based web apps and for taking full advantage of each of them. Hepsia is user-friendly enough even for persons with no prior experience, so if you’d like to activate Node.js for any app, it will not take more than a couple of clicks of the mouse to do it. You will simply have to add the folder path to the specific .js file and to select if Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP or a dedicated IP. Our system will also designate a given port that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you’ll be all set and will be able to take advantage of the full potential of your real-time apps. Hepsia will permit you to check the applications’ output and to restart or to shut down any of your instances using fast-access controls.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you decide to purchase any of our Linux dedicated hosting services for your script-driven software apps and if you select the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you will be able to use Node.js at no additional fee, as the event-driven platform is built into our in-house developed Control Panel tool. As our servers are extremely powerful, you’ll get excellent results even if you use plenty of Node.js instances simultaneously. The setup takes a couple of clicks of the mouse and Hepsia’s user interface will make it extremely easy for you to create a new instance even if you have little or no prior experience. Adding the .js file path and choosing a shared or a dedicated IP will be everything that you’ll need to do yourself and once our system has assigned a port number to access the .js file, you’ll be all set. Any of the instances that you have created can be restarted or removed separately and you will receive access to an exhaustive output log for each application that uses the Node.js platform.
