Node.js is a cutting-edge, open-source, event-driven, input/output platform built for sites that support real-time communication. Several instances of such sites are online browser game portals, web-based chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. The platform handles the information transmitted between the website and its visitors in tiny bits, which accelerates the load speed and the performance of the site considerably. If a certain form with three boxes has to be filled out by a specific user, for instance, usually all three boxes should be filled out and the entire content is then forwarded as one massive chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed the second it is inserted, before the user writes anything in the second one. In this way, much more info can be processed much faster and more effectively in contrast with any traditional system, which can have a noticeable effect on the website’s performance. Node.js is already being used by many of the top IT firms such as Yahoo and Microsoft.
Node.js in Web Hosting
As Node.js is present on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared hosting account and to utilize it for any web application that you have, regardless of which web hosting package you’ve picked at signup. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with all shared accounts, will permit you to select the number of instances that you wish to order – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes afterwards, you can specify the path to the application, in other words the location of the .js file in your shared account, as well as to select the IP to obtain access to that file – a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can restart an instance or to delete it if you don’t require it anymore. You will also be provided with access to the output code with just a click.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated servers come with Node.js, so in case you’d like to host any real-time app on our advanced cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to take full advantage of the power that Node.js can give you with just several clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. This service is upgradeable, so if you wish to use Node.js for different Internet sites, you will be able to choose the number of available instances, one instance being one application. Using Hepsia’s simple-to-navigate graphical interface, you will have to indicate the path to the .js file for every instance and to choose whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared IP. Our cloud platform will set a random port number to access your application and you’ll see it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. Hepsia will also allow you to check the output of any of your apps or to remove/restart each instance separately.
Node.js in VPS Servers
You can take advantage of Node.js with any of the VPS servers offered by us if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The platform will have its own section where you can set it up with a few clicks even if you have no experience with similar software, since Hepsia is rather intuitive and simple to use. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to include the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP address. A random access port number will be assigned automatically too. There won’t be any constraints as to how many sites can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our virtual servers for many sites and enjoy a splendid performance. Quick-access links in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will allow you to start, to stop or to reboot any Node.js instance separately and to view their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
You will be able to make use of Node.js with your real-time, script-driven web applications at no additional charge when you buy any of our dedicated servers and pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel via an easy-to-navigate interface, which will permit you to start/delete/reboot any Node.js instance or to view the output of the application that uses it with just one click of the mouse. Even if you’re not very tech-savvy, you will be able to use the platform, since all you’ll need to do to activate it is specify the location of the .js file and choose the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a dedicated or a shared one. A randomly generated port will be assigned automatically as well and you will notice the benefits of running Node.js instantly. By combining the Node.js platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you can take advantage of the full potential of your apps and to get the best conceivable performance.
