Node.js is an event-driven runtime environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable web applications that require live interaction between a web server and the worldwide web users and can significantly improve the performance of any website that’s using it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly delivers little bits of information. For instance, if a new user fills a subscription form, as soon as any information is entered in any of the fields, it’s submitted to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled and the user has not clicked on any button, so the info is handled a whole lot faster. In comparison, other systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one huge hunk of information is then sent to the server. Irrespective of how tiny the difference in the information processing speed may be, circumstances change if the website expands and there are many users using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking sites, real-time web browser-based video games or instant messaging applications, for example, and a lot of companies, including Yahoo, LinkedIn and eBay, have already implemented it in their services.
Node.js in Shared Hosting
Since Node.js is available on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to add it to your web hosting account and to utilize it for any web-based app that you’ve got, regardless of which shared hosting plan you’ve picked during the registration process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all accounts, will allow you to select the number of instances that you would like to have – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes after that, you can add the path to the app, in other words the location of the .js file in your shared account, as well as to choose the IP to access the file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to restart an instance or to cancel it in case you don’t need it anymore. You’ll also be provided with access to the output code with only one click.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered software application running in a semi-dedicated server account, as the platform comes with all our semi-dedicated plans and you can get it with only several mouse clicks. If you want to use it for multiple Internet sites, you can get more instances from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The setup is as easy as including the path to your .js file and choosing if Node.js should use a dedicated IP address or any of the server’s shared IP addresses, so you can use Node.js even if you don’t have any previous experience with similar software. Our system will also choose a randomly generated port that will be used to access the .js file for the particular application. Hepsia has an intuitive graphical interface that will permit you to reboot and to terminate any of your existing instances, to create new ones or to view your apps’ output with just one single click.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
Node.js is offered by default with each and every virtual private server that is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and involves no limitations as to the number of websites that can use it at any particular time. This makes our VPS plans a perfect solution for running different real-time web applications and for taking full advantage of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is intuitive enough even for people with no prior experience, so if you’d like to enable Node.js for any application, it will not take more than several clicks to do it. You will only need to add the path to the specific .js file and to select if Node.js will use the server’s shared IP address or a dedicated IP. Our system will also allocate a given port that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you’ll be all set and will be able to use the full potential of your real-time apps. The Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to check the applications’ output and to restart or to discontinue any of your instances using quick-access controls.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
You’ll be able to make use of Node.js with your real-time, script-powered applications at no additional fee if you obtain any of our Linux dedicated hosting services and choose the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section through an easy-to-work-with GUI, which will allow you to start/delete/reboot any Node.js instance or to see the output of the app that uses it with only one click. Even if you aren’t very experienced, you’ll be able to use the Node.js platform, since all you will need to do to set it up is enter the folder path to the .js file and pick the IP address that will be used to access the file in question – a dedicated or a shared one. A random port number will be allocated automatically as well and you’ll see the advantages of running Node.js immediately. By combining Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to use the full potential of your apps and to enjoy the best achievable performance.
