Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable Internet applications. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of online users much more effectively than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in contrast to traditional platforms which handle the info in huge chunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For example, when a user needs to fill out several fields on an Internet site, Node.js handles the info in the first field as soon as it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more efficiently. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled 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 person, but it actually does make a difference if an immense number of individuals are browsing a site at once. A few instances of sites where Node.js can be applied are online dinner reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. websites that support quick live interaction.
Node.js in Shared Hosting
You’ll be able to make use of Node.js with each shared hosting plan that we’re offering, since the platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an active web hosting account with a couple of clicks of the mouse. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you will find Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can pick how many instances you want to run. One instance means that one single application will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your website hosting account as you need. A new section will appear in the Control Panel shortly afterwards and to start using Node.js, you’ll need to indicate the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select whether the connection will proceed through the shared IP address of the server or via a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also allow you to restart or to suspend an instance and to view any given application’s output.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
All Linux VPS hosting services that are ordered with our custom Hepsia Control Panel include Node.js as standard and you can take full advantage of this platform for each script-based web app that you run on the Virtual Private Server. As we have not imposed a limit on the number of instances that you can make use of, you can make use of the power of our VPS servers and mix it with the full potential of Node.js. The setup is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate, point & click graphical interface, so even if you are not tech-savvy, you won’t have to deal with any obstacles while using the Node.js platform. You’ll just have to add the directory path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. In addition, our system will also select a port to access this file and you will be able to see it in the respective Control Panel section. With only one click of the mouse, you will be able to check your applications’ output and to delete or to reboot any instance hosted on the Virtual Private Server.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
You will be able to make use of Node.js with your real-time, script-powered software applications at no extra charge when you buy one of our Linux dedicated web hosting and choose the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Node.js section of the Hepsia CP via an easy-to-navigate graphical interface, which will permit you to start/terminate/restart any instance or to check the output of the application that uses it with only one click. Even if you are not very experienced, you will be able to make use of the platform, as all you will have to do to set it up is include the folder path to the .js file and choose the IP that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared IP. A randomly generated port number will be allocated automatically too and you will see the upsides of using Node.js instantly. By mixing Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to make the most of the full potential of your applications and to enjoy the best conceivable performance.
