Node.js is an avant-garde, event-driven asynchronous I/O system designed for sites which support live communication. Some examples of such sites are web-based browser game portals, online chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. The platform processes the info sent between the site and its users in small bits, which improves the loading speed and the performance of the site noticeably. When a certain form with 3 boxes should be filled out by a user, for example, typically all three boxes should be filled and the whole content is then delivered as one huge hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed the second it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second box. Thus, much more information can be processed much faster and more effectively in contrast with any traditional platform, which can exert a significant influence on the performance of the website. Node.js is already being used by many of the top IT corporations like Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Shared Web Hosting
You will be able to make use of Node.js with each shared web hosting plan offered by us, as the event-driven platform is available on our cloud servers and can be added to an active shared hosting account with a couple of clicks of the mouse. Once you log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can choose how many instances you wish to activate. One instance means that one single app will use Node.js and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your website hosting account as you like. A new section will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel soon after that and to begin using Node.js, you’ll need to define the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to decide whether the connection will pass through the physical server’s shared IP or through a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to restart or to remove an instance and to check the output of any given app.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can use all the advantages that the Node.js platform has, as it is is included with all our plans and you’re able to add it to your account with a couple of clicks from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel – the account management tool that comes with every semi-dedicated server. If you would like to employ Node.js for multiple Internet applications, you can pick the amount of instances which the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your semi-dedicated package. After that, you’ll need to specify the path to the .js file in your account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will appear in the Control Panel after you add the upgrade and in the meantime, you can also choose whether the path to the given app should go through a dedicated IP address – in case you’ve got one, or through the physical server’s shared IP. Each and every instance that you add can be rebooted or shut down independently and you can check your applications’ output with only a couple of mouse clicks.
Node.js in VPS Hosting
All Linux VPS hosting that are ordered with our tailor-made Hepsia Control Panel offer Node.js by default and you can use this event-driven platform for any software application that you host on the Virtual Private Server. Since we haven’t set any limit as to the number of Node.js instances that you can create, you can make full use of the power of our VPSs and combine it with the full capacity of Node.js. The configuration is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate, point-and-click graphical interface, so even if you aren’t technically experienced, you won’t have any obstacles while using the Node.js platform. You will simply need to insert the path in the VPS 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 assign a port number to access this file and you’ll be able to find it in the respective section in the Control Panel. With only one mouse click, you’ll be able to see the output of your apps and to deactivate or to restart any instance hosted on the server.
Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting
Node.js comes bundled with all Linux dedicated web hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to take full advantage of the platform as soon as your physical machine is up and running. Since Hepsia is really simple to use, you’ll be able to do that without the need to deal with any predicaments, even if you have never worked with Node.js before, since everything that you’ll need to do on your end is indicate the location of the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP address that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other Internet sites. You can create as many instances as you wish on our ultra-powerful dedicated machines and each of them can be managed independently – you will be able to start, to restart or to discontinue it, to check the output of the app that uses it, etc. You can do this via the easy-to-use, point & click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make full use of the power of the Node.js platform without any effort.
