Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to develop scalable web apps. It uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and an enormous number of online users more effectively than any conventional platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in difference between conventional systems that handle the information in large hunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For example, if a user has to fill out a few fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the info in the first field the moment it is inserted, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In comparison, other platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single user, but it indeed does make a difference when a large number of people are browsing a site at once. Several examples of websites where Node.js can be applied are dinner booking portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, i.e. websites that offer fast real-time communication.
Node.js in Web Hosting
All web hosting that we are offering support Node.js and you’re able to add this leading-edge platform to your account using the Add Services/Upgrades link in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can pick the amount of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many different websites/platforms will use Node.js at once, and you can activate as many instances as you like. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to pick the path to your .js app and to decide if you’ll use a dedicated IP or the server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible through a randomly generated port number given by our cloud platform. On top of that, you can stop or reboot any instance that you have added, modify the path to the .js application or see the output of the active instances with just a couple of mouse clicks from your hosting Control Panel via a rather intuitive graphical interface.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated servers support Node.js, so in case you’d like to host any real-time app on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to make full use of the power that Node.js can give you with only several mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The service is upgradeable, so if you would like to use Node.js for different web sites, you’ll be able to choose the number of active instances, one instance being one app. Through the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate GUI, you will need to enter the path to the .js file for every instance and to select if Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. Our platform will set a randomly generated port number to access your application and you will see it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. Hepsia will also allow you to view the output of each of your apps or to stop/restart each instance separately.
Node.js in VPS Servers
All VPS servers that are ordered with our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel offer Node.js by default and you can take advantage of this platform for each script-powered software app that you host on the Virtual Private Server. Since we haven’t put any limitation on how many instances you can set up, you can make full use of the power of our servers and combine it with the full capacity of Node.js. The configuration is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly, point & click GUI, so even if you’re not tech-savvy, you won’t have any obstacles while working with the Node.js platform. You’ll simply need to specify the path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What’s more, our system will also designate a port number to access the file and you will be able to see it in the corresponding section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With only a click, you can check the output of your applications and to shut down or to restart any instance running on the VPS.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js comes with all Linux dedicated web hosting plans on which our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter offers a pretty simple and user-friendly interface, so even if you have never worked with Node.js before, you’ll be able to unleash its true potential in just a few easy steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the app’s content, you will have to add the location of the specific .js files that will use Node.js and to select the IP that they will use (shared or dedicated), while our system will designate a random port number that will be used to access these files. There is no limit on the total number of instances that you can activate and run simultaneously and you’ll have complete command over them via the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to get new ones or to cancel/reboot existing ones, to see the output log for each app, etc.
