Node.js is an advanced event-driven system, which is used to create scalable applications. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of users much more effectively than any other platform. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in difference between conventional platforms that handle the information in large chunks, it processes everything in tiny bits. For example, if a user has to fill out a few fields on a site, Node.js handles the info in the first field once it is inserted, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In contrast, conventional systems wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for one single user, but it surely does make a difference if a large number of individuals are visiting a site at once. A couple of instances of sites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner reservation portals, chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, i.e. websites that support fast real-time communication.
Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting
You will be able to make use of Node.js with every cloud website hosting package offered by our company, as the event-driven platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an active web hosting account with a few clicks. Once you sign into your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can choose the number of instances that you’d like to add. One instance means that one application will use Node.js and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your hosting account as you need. A new menu will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly after that and to start using Node.js, you’ll have to insert the path to the .js file that will use it and to select if the connection should pass through the physical server’s shared IP address or through a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also permit you to reboot or to turn off an instance and to check the output of any given application.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order a semi-dedicated server package from us, you’ll be able to make use of the full potential of Node.js with any application that you host on our cloud web hosting platform, because it’s available with each and every plan offered by us. You can add the number of instances, or apps which can use Node.js, through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can control your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you’ll have do after that will be to insert the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to choose the IP address that will be used to access this file. You can pick a dedicated IP address in case you’ve got one, or any of the physical server’s shared IPs. Our system will also select a randomly generated port. Using the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you will be able to see a given app’s output or to start/restart/cancel any of the instances that you have added.
Node.js in VPS Servers
You can activate Node.js with each of the VPS hosting plans that we’re offering in case you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel. The platform will have its own section where you can configure it with several mouse clicks even if you’ve got no experience with a similar software platform, as Hepsia is rather intuitive and easy to navigate. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to insert the path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your VPS’s shared IP address. A randomly generated access port will be assigned automatically too. There won’t be any restrictions on the number of the sites that can use Node.js at once, so you can use our virtual servers for lots of websites and enjoy an amazing performance. Quick-access menus in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to start, to discontinue or to restart any instance independently and to check their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
When you decide to get any of our dedicated web hosting plans for your script-driven applications and if you pick the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you will be able to use Node.js at no additional fee, as this event-driven platform is incorporated into our custom-developed Control Panel tool. Since our servers are unbelievably powerful, you’ll get excellent performance even if you use many Node.js instances at the same time. The configuration takes a few clicks of the mouse and the Hepsia Control Panel’s GUI will make it rather easy for you to create a new Node.js instance even if you’ve got little or no previous experience. Specifying the .js file path and choosing a shared or a dedicated IP will be everything that you’ll need to do yourself and as soon as our system has set a port number to access the .js file, you’ll be all set. Any of the instances that you have activated can be rebooted or deleted independently and you will obtain access to an exhaustive output log for each of the applications that use the Node.js platform.
