Node.js is an avant-garde, event-driven input/output platform designed for sites which support live interaction. Some instances of such sites would be web-based browser video game portals, live chat rooms or hotel booking portals. Node.js handles the info sent between the website and its users in little bits, which accelerates the speed and the performance of the site tremendously. When some form with three boxes has to be filled by a specific user, for instance, typically all three boxes should be filled out and their entire content is then sent as one huge hunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed the second it is entered, before the user types anything in the second box. Thus, much more information can be processed a lot faster and more effectively compared to any traditional system, which can exert an immense impact on the overall performance of the site. Node.js is already being used by some of the largest IT companies like Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Website Hosting
When you host an Internet app on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform and you would like to try out Node.js, you’ll be able to add it to your hosting account regardless of the website hosting plan that you are using. This can be done from the Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than several minutes after you add this upgrade to the account. You’ll be able to choose the number of instances that you wish to add to your account – one instance means one application 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 web 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 assign a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to switch off or to reboot each instance independently, in case it is needed.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated plans include Node.js, so in case you’d like to run any real-time app on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform, you will be able to take full advantage of the power that the system can give you with only a few clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The service is upgradeable, so in case you wish to use Node.js for multiple Internet sites, you will be able to select the amount of running instances, one instance being one application. Through the Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly graphical interface, you will have to include the path to the .js file for every instance and to select if Node.js will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared IP. Our platform will designate a random port to access your app and you’ll see it in the corresponding Control Panel section. Hepsia will also enable you to check the output of any of your apps or to stop/restart each instance separately.
Node.js in VPS Servers
You can activate Node.js with any of the VPS servers that we’re offering in case you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel. The platform will have its own section where you can set it up with a couple of clicks even if you do not have any experience with such a software platform, since Hepsia is amazingly intuitive and simple to use. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to insert the folder path to the .js file that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your VPS’s shared IP address. A random access port number will be designated automatically as well. There won’t be any limitations on the number of the sites that can use Node.js at the same time, so you can use our virtual machines for lots of websites and enjoy an excellent overall performance. Fast-access links in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will enable you to start, to terminate or to reboot any instance independently and to see their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
You will be able to make use of the Node.js platform with your real-time, script-driven web apps at no extra fee in case you obtain one of our dedicated servers and pick the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Node.js section of the Hepsia CP through a simple-to-navigate interface, which will permit you to start/stop/reboot any instance or to view the output of the app which uses it with only one mouse click. Even if you’re not very experienced, you’ll be able to make use of the platform, since all you will have to do to activate it is specify the directory path to the .js file and choose the IP that will be used to access the file in question – a shared or a dedicated one. A random port will be assigned automatically too and you will see the upsides of running Node.js instantaneously. By mixing the Node.js platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you’ll be able to take advantage of the full potential of your applications and to enjoy the best conceivable performance.
