Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime environment built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used for scalable applications that need real-time interaction between a server and the online users and can substantially improve the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly provides little amounts of info. For instance, in case a new user fills out a registration form, the moment any information is entered in any of the boxes, it is submitted to the server even if the other fields are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the information is handled much faster. In comparison, other systems wait for the whole form to be filled and one sizeable hunk of information is then delivered to the server. Regardless of how little the difference in the information processing speed may be, things change if the website expands and there are numerous persons using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking sites, interactive web browser-based video games or instant messaging software, for example, and a lot of companies, including Yahoo, LinkedIn and eBay, have already included it in their services.
Node.js in Shared Website Hosting
All Linux shared website hosting packages that we’re offering include Node.js and you’re able to add this advanced event-driven platform to your shared web hosting account using the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to choose the number of instances for this upgrade, i.e. how many different websites/platforms will utilize Node.js simultaneously, and you can add as many instances as you require. Hepsia will also enable you to pick the precise location of your .js application and to decide whether you’ll use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible via a randomly generated port number designated by our cloud hosting system. Furthermore, you can stop or restart any instance that you have added, change the path to the .js application or view the active instances’ output with just a couple of mouse clicks from your hosting Control Panel using a very easy-to-navigate interface.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you get a semi-dedicated server package from us, you’ll be able to make use of the full capacity of Node.js with any web-based app that you host on our cloud website hosting platform, since it’s included with each semi-dedicated hosting package that we are offering. You can specify the number of instances, or apps that can use Node.js, through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can control your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you will need to do after that will be to specify the path within the account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to pick the IP address that will be used to access that file. You can pick a dedicated IP in case you’ve got one, or any of the server’s shared IPs. Our system will also choose a random port. With the Node.js controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you are able to view the output of a given app or to start/restart/cancel any of the instances that you have activated.
Node.js in VPS Web Hosting
You can take advantage of Node.js with any of the Linux VPS web hosting packages that we offer if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its very own section where you can configure it with a couple of clicks of the mouse even if you’ve got no experience with similar software, as Hepsia is truly intuitive and easy to navigate. All it takes to activate a new Node.js instance is to include the directory path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP that will be used to access it – a dedicated one or your VPS’s shared IP. A random access port will be designated automatically as well. There won’t be any restrictions as to how many websites can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our VPS servers for numerous sites and enjoy a wonderful overall performance. Fast-access menus in the Node.js section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to start, to delete or to reboot any instance independently and to check their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Node.js is offered with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you’ll be able to take full advantage of this event-driven platform as soon as your server is set up. As Hepsia is amazingly easy to work with, you’ll be able to do that without having any complications, even if you have never used the Node.js platform before, since everything that you will have to do on your end is specify the directory path to the .js file that will use the platform and the IP that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other web sites. You can set up as many instances as you wish on our incredibly powerful dedicated servers and each of them can be managed separately – you will be able to start, to reboot or to stop it, to view the output of the app using it, etc. You can do this through the easy-to-work-with, point-and-click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make the most of the power of the Node.js platform with no effort.
