Node.js is an avant-garde, event-driven asynchronous input/output system used for Internet sites which support real-time communication. Some examples of such websites would be online browser-based video game portals, online chat rooms or hotel booking portals. Node.js handles the info sent between the site and its users in tiny bits, which boosts the speed and the overall performance of the site significantly. If a certain form with 3 boxes is expected to be filled by a specific user, for instance, typically all three boxes should be filled and their entire content is then delivered as one massive hunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed once it is entered, before the user types anything in the second box. Therefore, much more info can be processed much faster and more efficiently compared to any conventional system, which can exert a considerable effect on the performance of the site. Node.js is already being employed by some of the top IT firms like Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Website Hosting
All website hosting plans that we’re offering include Node.js and you’ll be able to add this leading-edge platform to your hosting account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to select the amount of instances for this specific upgrade, i.e. how many separate platforms/websites will use Node.js at once, and you can run as many instances as you wish. Hepsia will also allow you to choose the precise location of your .js application and to choose whether you will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible using a randomly generated port number set by our cloud hosting platform. Also, you can stop or restart any instance that you have added, change the path to the .js app or see the output of the active instances with just a few mouse clicks from your web hosting Control Panel using a very easy-to-navigate interface.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our Linux semi-dedicated servers come with Node.js, so in case you would like to run any real-time application on our advanced cloud platform, you’ll be able to use the power that the system can offer you with only a few clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The feature is upgradeable, so if you wish to use Node.js for different sites, you will be able to choose the number of running instances, one instance being one app. Through Hepsia’s easy-to-navigate interface, you will have to add the location of the .js file for each instance and to select whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared one. Our platform will choose a randomly generated port number to access your application and you’ll see it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. The Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to see the output of any of your apps or to cancel/reboot each instance independently.
Node.js in VPS Servers
All VPS servers that are ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel offer Node.js as standard and you can use this platform for each script-powered web application that you host on the VPS. As we haven’t put any limit on how many Node.js instances you can make use of, you can take advantage of the power of our Virtual Private Servers and combine it with the full capacity of the Node.js platform. The configuration is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate, point & click graphical interface, so even if you are not tech-savvy, you won’t have to deal with any impediments while using the Node.js platform. You will only need to specify 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 choose a port to access this file and you’ll be able to see it in the respective Control Panel section. With just one mouse click, you’ll be able to see your applications’ output and to terminate or to restart any instance hosted on the VPS.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js comes with all Linux dedicated web hosting plans on which our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter has a very intuitive and easy-to-use interface, so even if you have never worked with Node.js before, you can uncover its true potential in just a couple of simple steps. As soon as you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you will need to add the directory path to the specific .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to select the IP that they will use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will choose a randomly generated port number that will be used to access these files. There’s no constraint on the total number of Node.js instances that you can create and run at the same time and you will exert complete command over them through the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to set up new ones or to cancel/reboot existing ones, to check the output log for each application, etcetera.
