Node.js is an advanced, event-driven asynchronous input/output platform designed for Internet sites which offer live interaction. Some examples of such websites would be web-based browser video game portals, web-based chat rooms or hotel booking portals. Node.js handles the info exchanged between the Internet site and its visitors in little bits, which accelerates the load speed and the performance of the site tremendously. When a given form with three boxes should be filled by a particular user, for example, usually 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 content of the first box is processed the moment it is inserted, before the user writes anything in the second one. Thus, a lot more information can be handled much faster and more efficiently as opposed to any conventional platform, which can exert a remarkable influence on the overall performance of the website. Node.js is already being used by some of the largest IT companies like Yahoo and Microsoft.
Node.js in Cloud Web Hosting
As Node.js is available 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-based app that you’ve got, irrespective of which cloud web hosting package you have chosen during the subscription process. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared hosting accounts, will allow you to select the number of instances that you would like to use – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A few minutes after that, you can enter the path to the app, i.e. the location of the .js file in your shared website hosting account, as well as to choose the IP address to access the file – a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to restart an instance or to terminate it in case you do not require it anymore. You will also obtain access to the output code with only a click.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can make use of all the advantages that the Node.js platform has, since it’s is included with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you are able to add it to your account with a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the semi-dedicated server management tool that comes with each semi-dedicated server. In case you would like to use Node.js for multiple Internet applications, you can select the amount of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your semi-dedicated package. After that, you will need to insert 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 Control Panel after you order the upgrade and during the process, you can also choose if the access path to the specific application will go through a dedicated IP – if you have one, or through the server’s shared IP address. Each instance that you order can be restarted or removed independently and you can view the output of your apps with just a couple of mouse clicks.
Node.js in VPS Servers
You can take advantage of Node.js with any of the VPS servers offered by our company if you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can configure it with a few mouse clicks even if you do not have any experience with similar software, as Hepsia is extremely intuitive and simple to navigate. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to enter the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your VPS’s shared IP. A random access port will be allocated automatically as well. There won’t be any constraints on the number of the websites that can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our virtual servers for multiple sites and enjoy an incredible overall performance. Fast-access menus in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to start, to deactivate or to restart any instance separately and to check their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
If you decide to get one of our Linux dedicated web hosting plans for your script-based applications and if you pick the Hepsia Control Panel during the order process, you will be able to make use of Node.js at no additional charge, since the event-driven platform is included in our custom-built Control Panel tool. Since our servers are unbelievably powerful, you will enjoy superb results even if you use multiple Node.js instances at once. The configuration takes a few mouse clicks and the Hepsia Control Panel’s user interface will make it incredibly easy for you to activate a new instance even if you’ve got little or no experience. Indicating the .js file path and choosing a dedicated or a shared IP address will be everything that you’ll need to do yourself and once our system has allocated a port to access that file, you will be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you’ve created can be restarted or discontinued separately and you’ll receive access to a comprehensive output log for each application that uses Node.js.
