Node.js is an innovative, event-driven asynchronous I/O system built for websites which offer interactive communication. Several examples of such websites are web-based browser video game portals, live chat rooms or hotel booking portals. Node.js handles the information transmitted between the website and its users in little bits, which improves the load speed and the overall performance of the site substantially. When some form with three boxes is expected to be filled by a specific user, for example, typically all three boxes should be filled out and their entire content is then sent as one giant chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed as soon as it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second box. In this way, much more information can be handled a lot faster and more efficiently compared with any conventional system, which can exert a considerable influence on the site’s overall performance. Node.js is already being used by many of the leading IT companies such as Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Shared Hosting
You can take advantage of Node.js with every shared hosting plan that we’re offering, as the platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an existing shared account with a couple of mouse clicks. After you log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will find Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can pick how many instances you’d like to run. One instance means that one application will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your web hosting account as you like. A new menu will show up in the Control Panel soon after that and to begin using Node.js, you’ll have to define the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to decide if the connection will go through the server’s shared IP or via a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to restart or to delete an instance and to check any given app’s output.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
With a semi-dedicated server from us, you can use all the benefits that the Node.js event-driven platform offers, as it is comes with all our semi-dedicated hosting packages and you can add it to your account with a couple of clicks from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel – the account management tool that is included with every semi-dedicated server. If you’d like to employ Node.js for different web apps, you can pick the number of instances that the platform will use when you’re adding this service to your semi-dedicated plan. Then, you’ll need to add the location of the .js file in your account for each instance. This can be done in the new section that will appear in the Control Panel after you add the upgrade and during the process, you can also select whether the path to the given application will go through a dedicated IP – if you have one, or through the server’s shared IP address. Each and every instance that you run can be restarted or deleted separately and you can see the output of your apps with only a few mouse clicks.
Node.js in VPS Servers
You can activate Node.js with each of the VPS service that we’re offering if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can configure it with a couple of mouse clicks even if you don’t have any experience with a similar software platform, as Hepsia is very intuitive and easy to use. All it takes to add a new Node.js instance is to enter the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to choose the IP address that will be used to access it – a dedicated IP or your Virtual Private Server’s shared IP. A random access port will be set automatically as well. There won’t be any limits as to how many websites can use Node.js at once, so you can use our virtual servers for numerous websites and enjoy a fantastic performance. Quick-access links in the Node.js section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to start, to discontinue or to reboot any instance independently and to see their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
When you decide to order one of our dedicated service for your script-powered software apps and if you select the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you’ll be able to use Node.js at no extra charge, since the platform is built into our custom-developed Control Panel tool. As our dedicated servers are truly powerful, you’ll enjoy excellent results even if you run plenty of Node.js instances at once. The configuration requires a few clicks of the mouse and the Hepsia Control Panel’s GUI will make it really easy for you to activate a new instance even if you’ve got little or no experience. Inserting the path to the .js file and choosing a shared or a dedicated IP address will be everything that you will have to do yourself and once our system has set a port number to access that file, you’ll be all set. Any of the instances that you have created can be rebooted or removed independently and you’ll be given access to a detailed output log for each of the apps that use Node.js.
