Node.js is an open-source, event-driven system built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable web applications that require real-time communication between a web server and the online users and can noticeably speed up the performance of any Internet site that’s using it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and constantly supplies small bits of information. For example, in case a new user fills a registration form, the moment any info is entered in any of the fields, it’s submitted to the server even if the rest of the boxes are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the info is handled a whole lot faster. In contrast, other systems wait for the whole form to be filled out and one huge chunk of information is then delivered to the server. Irrespective of how tiny the difference in the information processing speed may be, things change in case the website grows bigger and there’re lots of people using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for online reservation portals, interactive web browser video games or online chat applications, for instance, and lots of corporations, among them LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already included it in their services.
Node.js in Web Hosting
As Node.js is present on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared hosting account and to use it for any web app that you’ve got, irrespective of which web hosting package you’ve chosen at signup. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared web hosting accounts, will permit you to select the number of instances that you want to use – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes afterwards, you’ll be able to insert the path to the application, i.e. the location of the .js file in your shared hosting account, as well as to choose the IP to gain access to that 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 can restart an instance or to shut it down in case you no longer want it. You’ll also acquire access to the output code with just a single click of the mouse.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can use all the advantages that the Node.js platform is offering, due to the fact that it’s is included with all our plans and you’re able to add it to your account with a few mouse clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the management tool that comes bundled with every semi-dedicated server. If you’d like to employ Node.js for multiple web applications, you can select the amount of instances which the platform will use when you’re adding this feature to your semi-dedicated package. After that, you’ll need to add the location of the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. This can be done in the new section that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel after you add the upgrade and during the process, you can also select whether the access path to the particular application will go through a dedicated IP address – in case you’ve got one, or through the physical server’s shared IP address. Each instance that you add can be restarted or deleted separately and you can see your applications’ output with just a few clicks.
Node.js in VPS Web Hosting
Node.js is included as standard with each and every virtual private server that is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and involves no constraints with regard to the number of sites that can use it at any given moment. This makes our Virtual Private Server plans an excellent choice for running numerous real-time script-based web apps and for getting the most out of each of them. Hepsia is intuitive enough even for persons without any prior experience, so if you would like to activate Node.js for any app, it won’t take more than a few clicks of the mouse to do it. You will simply have to specify the path to the .js file in question and to choose whether Node.js will use the physical server’s shared IP address or a dedicated IP. Our system will also specify a certain port number that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you’ll be all set and will be able to take advantage of the full potential of your real-time applications. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to check the output of the apps and to reboot or to delete any of your instances using quick-access controls.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting
You will be able to use the Node.js platform with your real-time, script-powered applications at no extra cost in case you order any of our Linux dedicated servers hosting and choose the Hepsia Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Node.js section via an intuitive graphical interface, which will permit you to start/remove/restart any instance or to see the output of the application which uses it with only one click of the mouse. Even if you’re not very experienced, you will be able to use the Node.js platform, since all you will have to do to activate it is enter the directory path to the .js file and select the IP address that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared IP. A randomly generated port will be set automatically too and you’ll see the upsides of running Node.js instantly. By combining the Node.js platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to make use of the full potential of your apps and to enjoy the best conceivable performance.
