Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven system, which is used to set up scalable Internet apps. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a web server and a large number of users more efficiently than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that unlike conventional platforms which process the information in huge chunks, it processes everything in little bits. As an illustration, when a user has to fill out several fields on a site, Node.js handles the info from the first field the second it is inserted, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In contrast, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for one single user, but it really does make a difference when an immense number of people are browsing a site at the very same time. A few examples of sites where Node.js can be applied are online dinner booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, i.e. websites that support quick live communication.
Node.js in Cloud Web Hosting
If you host an Internet application on our avant-garde cloud platform and you’d like to try out Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your web hosting account regardless of the cloud web hosting plan that you use. You can make this from the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to use Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this service to your account. You will be able to select how many instances you’d like to add to your account – one instance means one app using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can define the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and choose whether that file will be accessible via the server’s shared IP or through a dedicated IP. Our platform will also designate a port number for the connection. You will be able to delete or to reboot each instance independently, if necessary.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our Linux semi-dedicated servers include Node.js, so if you would like to run any real-time app on our advanced cloud hosting platform, you can make full use of the power that Node.js can give you with just several clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. This feature is upgradeable, so in case you want to use Node.js for multiple websites, you will be able to choose the amount of running instances, one instance being one application. Through the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-use GUI, you will need to indicate the path to the .js file for each instance and to select whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Our cloud platform will designate a random port number to access your application and you’ll find it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to view the output of each of your applications or to deactivate/reboot each instance separately.
Node.js in VPS Servers
Node.js comes with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-equipped VPS servers that we’re offering and you can set it up without any difficulties, even if you have never worked with it beforehand, because the Hepsia Control Panel has an easy-to-navigate, point & click GUI, which will allow you to do anything with no effort. The platform can be used for as many software apps as you need, so you can make the most of your websites by combining the power of our virtual machines with the performance provided by the Node.js platform. You will need to indicate the location of the .js file within your account and to select whether it will use a dedicated IP or your VPS 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 set up a new Node.js instance. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you total control over all Node.js instances and, with only one click of the mouse, you will be able to start, to stop or to reboot them, as well as to see the output of each application that uses the platform.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
You will be able to use the Node.js platform with your real-time, script-powered web applications at no extra fee when you buy one of our dedicated servers and pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section via a simple-to-use GUI, which will permit you to start/terminate/restart any instance or to view the output of the application that uses it with only one click of the mouse. Even if you aren’t very tech-savvy, you’ll be able to make use of the Node.js platform, as all you have to do to set it up is define the folder path to the .js file and select the IP address that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated IP. A random port will be allocated automatically as well and you’ll see the benefits of using Node.js right away. By combining the Node.js platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you can use the full potential of your apps and to get the best achievable performance.
