Node.js is a leading-edge, open-source, event-driven, input/output platform built for sites that support interactive communication. Some instances of such sites are online browser-based video game portals, web-based chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. The platform handles the info transmitted between the website and its visitors in little bits, which boosts the load speed and the performance of the website substantially. When a certain form with three boxes is expected to be filled by a user, for example, typically all three boxes should be filled out and the whole content is then delivered as one giant chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed once it is inserted, before the user writes anything in the second one. Thus, much more info can be handled much faster and more efficiently in comparison with any other platform, which can exert a great influence on the overall performance of the website. Node.js is already being used by some of the biggest IT corporations such as Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Hosting
When you host an Internet app on our cutting-edge cloud platform and you’d like to try Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your web hosting account regardless of the hosting package that you are using. You can make this from the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to use Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this service to the account. You can select the number of instances that you would like to add to the account – one instance means that one application will be using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can enter the path to the .js file in your hosting account and select if that file will be accessible via the shared IP address of the physical server or via a dedicated one. Our platform will also allocate a port number for the connection. You will be able to stop or to reboot each instance separately, in case it is needed.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated servers include Node.js, so if you would like to run any real-time application on our innovative cloud web hosting platform, you can make use of the power that the system can give you with only a couple of clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The feature is upgradeable, so if you want to use Node.js for different web sites, you’ll be able to pick the amount of active instances, one instance being one app. Using the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-work-with interface, you’ll have to include the path to the .js file for every instance and to choose whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared IP. Our cloud platform will assign a random port to access your app and you will see it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. Hepsia will also allow you to check the output of each of your applications or to deactivate/reboot each instance independently.
Node.js in VPS Servers
Node.js is offered by default with each and every VPS server that comes with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and involves no limitations with regard to the number of web sites that can use it at any particular time. This makes our VPS plans an optimal choice for setting up different real-time apps and for taking full advantage of each of them. The Hepsia Control Panel is intuitive enough even for users with no previous experience, so if you want to set up Node.js for any app, it will not take more than a couple of clicks to make this. You’ll simply need to add the folder path to the specific .js file and to choose whether Node.js will use the server’s shared IP address or a dedicated IP. Our platform will also assign a certain port that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you’ll be all set and ready to make use of the full potential of your real-time apps. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to see the output of the apps and to restart or to remove any of your instances using quick-access controls.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js is available with all dedicated servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to make the most of this event-driven platform once your physical server is set up. Since the Hepsia Control Panel is very intuitive, you will be able to do that without any difficulty, even if you have not used Node.js before, since everything that you’ll have to do on your end is indicate the directory path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and the IP address that will be used to access this file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other web sites. You can activate as many instances as you like on our super-powerful servers and each instance can be managed separately – you will be able to start, to reboot or to terminate it, to view the output of the app using it, etc. This can be done through the intuitive, point ‘n’ click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can take advantage of the power of Node.js without any effort.
