Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable Internet applications. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a server and an immense number of online users much more effectively than any conventional system. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in contrast to traditional platforms that handle the information in large chunks, it processes everything in little bits. As an illustration, in case a user needs to fill out a couple of fields on a site, Node.js handles the information from the first field once it’s typed, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it really does make a difference if an enormous number of people are using a website at the very same time. A couple of instances of websites where Node.js can be applied are dinner booking portals, chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, in other words sites that support fast real-time interaction.
Node.js in Shared Hosting
All Linux shared hosting that we offer support Node.js and you will be able to add this innovative event-driven platform to your hosting account via the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can choose the amount of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many separate platforms/websites will use Node.js at the same time, and you can activate as many instances as you require. Hepsia will also allow you to select the exact path to your .js app and to decide whether you will use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a randomly generated port allocated by our cloud system. What’s more, you can stop or restart any instance that you have added, change the path to the .js application or see the active instances’ output with only several clicks of the mouse from your hosting Control Panel via an extremely simple-to-use graphical interface.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans offer Node.js, so if you want to run any real-time app on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to take full advantage of the power that the system can give you with just a couple of clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The service is upgradeable, so if you’d like to use Node.js for different sites, you will be able to select the amount of running instances, one instance being one application. Through Hepsia’s simple-to-navigate interface, you will have to include the location of the .js file for each instance and to choose if Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared IP. Our cloud platform will select a randomly generated port number to access your app and you will see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. Hepsia will also permit you to see the output of each of your applications or to discontinue/restart each instance separately.
Node.js in VPS Servers
All Linux VPS servers that are ordered with our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with Node.js by default and you can take full advantage of the platform for any software app that you run on the Virtual Private Server. As we have not put a limit as to how many Node.js instances you can run, you can take full advantage of the power of our Virtual Private Servers and combine it with the full potential of Node.js. The configuration is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate, point & click GUI, so even if you are not technically proficient, you won’t encounter any obstacles while using the Node.js platform. You’ll simply need to enter the directory path in the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. Furthermore, our system will also assign a port number to access the file and you’ll be able to find it in the corresponding section in the Control Panel. With only one mouse click, you’ll be able to check the output of your applications and to discontinue or to reboot any Node.js instance running on the VPS server.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js is offered with all Linux dedicated web hosting plans that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you will be able to take full advantage of the event-driven platform once your physical machine is set up. Since the Hepsia Control Panel is really easy to work with, you will be able to make that without having any obstacles, even if you have never used the Node.js platform before, as everything that you will have to do on your end is define the path to the .js file that will use the platform and the IP address that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other sites. You can manage as many Node.js instances as you need on our powerful servers and each instance can be managed independently – you’ll be able to start, to reboot or to terminate it, to view the output of the application that uses it, etc. This can be done through the intuitive, point & click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can use the power of the Node.js platform with no effort.
