Node.js is an avant-garde, open-source, event-driven, I/O system meant for Internet sites which offer real-time interaction. Several instances of such sites would be online browser-based game portals, web-based chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. The platform handles the information transmitted between the website and its visitors in small bits, which boosts the load speed and the performance of the site substantially. When some form with 3 boxes should be filled by a particular user, for instance, normally all three boxes should be filled out and the whole content is then forwarded as one sizeable chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed the moment it is entered, before the user types anything in the second box. Therefore, much more information can be handled a lot faster and more effectively in contrast to any conventional system, which can exert a huge influence on the overall performance of the site. Node.js is already being employed by some of the biggest IT firms like Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Web Hosting
As Node.js is present on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your account and to use it for any web app that you have, regardless of which web hosting plan you have picked during the order process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared hosting accounts, will allow you to pick the number of instances that you wish to run – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. A few minutes afterwards, you can enter the path to the application, in other words where the .js file will be located in your hosting account, as well as to select the IP to acquire access to that file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. In the new Node.js menu that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to restart an instance or to deactivate it if you do not require it any longer. You’ll also have access to the output code with only a single click of the mouse.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you’ll be able to make use of the full potential of Node.js with any web-based app that you host on our cloud web hosting platform, since it’s available with each and every semi-dedicated package that we offer. You can indicate the number of instances, or applications that can use Node.js, through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you can control your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you will have to do after that will be to indicate the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to pick the IP address that will be used in order to access that file. You can pick a dedicated IP address in case you’ve got one, or any of the physical server’s shared IPs. Our system will also allocate a random port number. Using the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you’ll be able to see a given application’s output or to start/reboot/stop any of the instances that you have activated.
Node.js in VPS Servers
Node.js is available as standard with each and every VPS server that comes with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and imposes no restrictions when it comes to the number of Internet sites that can use it at any given time. This makes our VPS packages an excellent solution for administering multiple real-time web applications and for taking full advantage of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is intuitive enough even for individuals without any prior experience, so if you would like to activate Node.js for any app, it won’t take more than a couple of mouse clicks to do it. You’ll just need to insert the path to the given .js file and to choose if Node.js will use the server’s shared IP address or a dedicated one. Our system will also set a certain port that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you will be all set and ready to make use of the full potential of your real-time apps. Hepsia will allow you to view the output of the apps and to restart or to shut down any of your instances using quick-access controls.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js is offered with all dedicated web hosting plans that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to make use of the platform as soon as your machine is up and running. As Hepsia is extremely simple to work with, you will be able to do that without the need to deal with any complications, even if you have not used Node.js before, as everything that you’ll have to do on your end is indicate the location of the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other websites. You can create as many Node.js instances as you wish on our very powerful machines and each instance can be managed independently – you will be able to start, to reboot or to terminate it, to see the output of the app that uses it, etc. You can do this through the easy-to-work-with, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make use of the power of the Node.js platform without effort.
