Node.js is an open-source, event-driven environment built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable applications that require real-time interaction between a server and the Internet users and can substantially boost the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and incessantly supplies small amounts of information. For example, if a new user fills a subscription form, the second any information is inserted in one of the fields, it’s sent to the server even if the rest of the boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the information is processed much faster. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one giant chunk of information is then submitted to the server. No matter how small the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change when the Internet site grows bigger and there are numerous persons using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by booking websites, real-time web browser games or web-based chat systems, for example, and many companies, among them LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already integrated it into their services.
Node.js in Shared Web Hosting
All shared web hosting that we are offering come with Node.js and you’ll be able to add this cutting-edge event-driven platform to your shared hosting account using the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to pick the number of instances for this particular upgrade, i.e. how many separate platforms/sites will use Node.js at once, and you can order as many instances as you require. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to select the path to your .js app and to choose whether you’ll use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible via a randomly generated port number chosen by our cloud system. Furthermore, you can stop or reboot any instance that you have created, change the path to the .js application or check the running instances’ output with just a few clicks from your hosting Control Panel using a pretty user-friendly graphical interface.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven software app hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, since the Node.js platform is available with all our semi-dedicated hosting packages and you can activate it with just several clicks. If you wish to use it for several sites, you can add more instances via the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The setup is as easy as choosing the folder path to your .js file and choosing whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the server’s shared IP addresses, so you can make use of Node.js even if you do not have any previous experience with similar software. Our system will also set a randomly generated port which will be used to access the .js file for the given application. Hepsia has a simple-to-use GUI that will allow you to reboot and to remove any of your running instances, to order new ones or to see your applications’ output with just one click.
Node.js in VPS Servers
You can use Node.js with any of the VPS servers that we are offering in case you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can configure it with a couple of mouse clicks even if you haven’t got any experience with such software, as Hepsia is quite intuitive and easy to use. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to enter the directory path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your VPS’s shared IP address. A random access port will be set automatically as well. There won’t be any limit as to the number of the sites that can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our VPS servers for lots of sites and enjoy a great overall performance. Quick-access menus in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will allow you to start, to discontinue or to reboot any instance separately and to check their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js is included with all dedicated servers on which our custom Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter has a rather intuitive and easy-to-use interface, so even if you have not worked with the Node.js platform before, you can uncover its full potential in only a couple of simple steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you will need to include the location of the particular .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to pick the IP which they’ll use (dedicated or shared), while our system will select a randomly generated port that will be used to access the files in question. There is no limit as to the total amount of instances that you can set up and run simultaneously and you’ll exert total control over them via the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to add new ones or to terminate/reboot existing ones, to view the output log for each app, etc.
