Node.js is an avant-garde, event-driven non-blocking input/output platform built for Internet sites which offer real-time communication. A few instances of such sites would be online browser-based video game portals, live chat rooms or hotel booking portals. Node.js processes the info transmitted between the website and its visitors in small bits, which improves the loading speed and the performance of the website substantially. If some form with three boxes is expected to be filled by a particular user, for example, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled and the entire content is then delivered as one large chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed once it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second one. In this way, a lot more information can be processed much faster and more effectively in contrast to any conventional platform, which can exert a remarkable impact on the site’s overall performance. Node.js is already being employed by some of the largest IT corporations like Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Shared Hosting
You’ll be able to use Node.js with each and every shared hosting plan that we are offering, as the event-driven platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an active shared hosting account with a couple of clicks. When you log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll find Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can select how many instances you’d like to order. One instance means that one single application will use the platform and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your hosting account as you want. A new section will show up in the Control Panel soon afterwards and to start using Node.js, you’ll have to enter the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select if the connection will proceed through the server’s shared IP address or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also enable you to reboot or to stop an instance and to check any given app’s output.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can use all the advantages that the Node.js platform offers, as it’s available with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and you are able to add it to your account with several clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the account management tool that comes bundled with each semi-dedicated server. In case you want to employ Node.js for different web-based applications, you can select the amount of instances that the platform will use when you’re adding this feature to your plan. Then, you will have to include the path to the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. This can be done in the new menu that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel after you add the upgrade and during the process, you can also select whether the path to the particular app should go through a dedicated IP address – if you have one, or through the physical server’s shared IP. Each and every instance that you run can be restarted or cancelled separately and you can view the output of your applications with only a couple of clicks of the mouse.
Node.js in VPS Servers
All VPS plans that are ordered with our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel come with Node.js as standard and you can take advantage of this event-driven platform for each Internet app that you host on the Virtual Private Server. Since we have not put a limit as to how many instances you can run, you can use the power of our VPS servers and combine it with the full potential of the Node.js platform. The configuration is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-use, point & click interface, so even if you aren’t technically experienced, you will not need to cope with any obstacles while using the platform. You’ll just have to indicate the directory path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to select whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What’s more, our system will also assign a port number to access this file and you will be able to find it in the respective section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With just a click, you will be able to see your applications’ output and to stop or to reboot any instance running on the server.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js is included with all dedicated web hosting plans on which our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter offers an amazingly simple and easy-to-use GUI, so even if you have not used Node.js before, you will be able to unleash its full potential in just a couple of simple steps. As soon as you have uploaded the application’s content, you will have to include the path to the respective .js files that will use Node.js and to choose the IP that they will use (shared or dedicated), while our system will assign a randomly generated port number that will be used to access these files. There is no restriction on the total number of Node.js instances that you can set up and use simultaneously and you will exert full control over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to set up new ones or to remove/reboot existing ones, to check the output log for each application, and so on.
