Node.js is a leading-edge, open-source, event-driven, non-blocking I/O platform built for websites which offer live communication. A few instances of such sites would be web-based browser game portals, web-based chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. Node.js handles the information exchanged between the site and its visitors in tiny bits, which accelerates the loading speed and the overall performance of the site significantly. When a certain form with three boxes has to be filled by a specific user, for instance, normally all three boxes should be filled and their entire content is then delivered as one huge chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed as soon as it is entered, before the user types anything in the second one. In this way, a lot more info can be handled a lot faster and more efficiently as opposed to any conventional platform, which can exert a noticeable influence on the overall performance of the site. Node.js is already being used by many of the top IT companies such as Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Web Hosting
When you host a web app on our avant-garde cloud platform and you would like to try Node.js, you will be able to add it to your account irrespective of the web hosting package that you’re using. This can be done through the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than a couple of minutes after you add this service to your account. You will be able to choose how many instances you want to add to the account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will appear in the Control Panel, you can define the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and choose whether that file will be accessible through the physical server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated IP. Our platform will also specify a port for the connection. You’ll be able to disable or to reboot each instance separately, in case it is required.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-based software app running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform is included with all our semi-dedicated server hosting plans and you can enable it with just several mouse clicks. If you would like to use it for multiple websites, you can enable more instances via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The configuration is as simple as entering the folder path to your .js file and choosing if the platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared IP addresses, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you’ve got no previous experience with such software. Our system will also assign a randomly generated port which will be used to access the .js file associated with the specific app. Hepsia has an easy to work with GUI that will allow you to reboot and to terminate any of your existing instances, to create new ones or to see your applications’ output with just a click.
Node.js in VPS Web Hosting
You can take advantage of Node.js with any of the Linux VPS web hosting that we’re offering in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Node.js platform will have its own section where you can set it up with several clicks even if you don’t have any experience with similar software, since Hepsia is very intuitive and simple to navigate. All it takes to start a new Node.js instance is to insert 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 address. A random access port number will be selected automatically too. There won’t be any restrictions on how many websites can use Node.js simultaneously, so you can use our virtual servers for numerous sites and enjoy a wonderful performance. Fast-access links in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Node.js section will allow you to start, to delete or to reboot any instance independently and to view their output.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting
You’ll be able to use the Node.js platform with your real-time, script-based web applications at no extra fee in case you order one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting and pick the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page. The Node.js instances can be administered from the Node.js section of the Hepsia CP via a user-friendly GUI, which will enable you to start/stop/reboot any Node.js instance or to see the output of the app that uses it with only one click. Even if you aren’t very tech-savvy, you will be able to use the Node.js platform, as all you will have to do to activate it is include the path to the .js file and pick the IP address that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared one. A randomly generated port number will be set automatically as well and you will see the benefits of running Node.js momentarily. By mixing Node.js with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to use the full capacity of your apps and to get the best achievable performance.
