Node.js is an innovative, event-driven input/output system meant for sites that offer real-time interaction. Some examples of such websites are online browser game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. Node.js processes the info sent between the website and its visitors in tiny bits, which boosts the load speed and the performance of the website substantially. If a given form with 3 boxes is expected to be filled by a user, for instance, usually all three boxes should be filled out and the entire content is then sent as one large chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed the second it is inserted, before the user writes anything in the second box. In this way, a lot more info can be handled a lot faster and more efficiently compared with any other system, which can exert a significant impact on the website’s performance. Node.js is already being employed by some of the top IT corporations such as Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Cloud Hosting
If you host an Internet application on our innovative cloud hosting platform and you’d like to try out Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your web hosting account irrespective of the cloud hosting package that you’re using. You can make this via the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to use Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this feature to your account. You’ll be able to select the number of instances that you want to add to your account – one instance means that one app will be using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can include the path to the .js file in your hosting account and select whether the file in question will be accessible via the shared IP of the server or through a dedicated IP. Our platform will also set a port for the connection. You’ll be able to stop or to restart each instance separately, in case it is required.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered web app running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the Node.js platform is offered with all our semi-dedicated plans and you can order it with only a few mouse clicks. In case you would like to use it for multiple Internet sites, you can add more instances via the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The setup is as simple as inserting the folder path to your .js file and selecting whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared ones, so you can use Node.js even if you haven’t got any previous experience with a similar software platform. Our system will also select a randomly generated port number which will be used to access the .js file for the particular application. Hepsia has an easy-to-use interface that will allow you to restart and to delete any of your existing instances, to add new ones or to check the output of your applications with just a click.
Node.js in VPS Servers
All VPS hosting plans that are ordered with our custom-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with Node.js by default and you can take advantage of this platform for each script-based web application that you host on the VPS. As we haven’t put a limit on how many Node.js instances you can make use of, you can take full advantage of the power of our virtual servers and combine it with the full potential of the Node.js platform. The setup is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-use, point ‘n’ click interface, so even if you are not technically experienced, you won’t have any difficulties while working with the platform. You’ll simply have to indicate the path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. In addition, our system will also set a port number to access the file and you will be able to find it in the corresponding section in the Control Panel. With only one click, you can check the output of your apps and to discontinue or to reboot any instance running on the server.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
If you decide to get one of our dedicated web hosting plans for your script-powered web applications and if you select the Hepsia Control Panel during the order process, you’ll be able to make use of Node.js at no additional cost, as the event-driven platform is integrated into our in-house developed tool. As our servers are unbelievably powerful, you’ll get stunning performance even if you use lots of Node.js instances at the same time. The setup takes a couple of mouse clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s interface will make it extremely easy for you to activate a new Node.js instance even if you’ve got little or no experience. Entering the path to the .js file and selecting a dedicated or a shared IP will be everything that you will have to do on your end and as soon as our system has chosen a port to access that file, you will be all set. Any of the instances that you’ve activated can be rebooted or stopped independently and you will be granted with access to a detailed output log for each of the apps that use Node.js.
