Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven system, which is used to build scalable Internet apps. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of online users more effectively than any other system. What makes Node.js special is the fact that in contrast to traditional systems which handle the information in large chunks, it processes everything in small bits. As an illustration, when a user needs to fill out a few fields on a website, Node.js handles the info in the first field once it is inserted, utilizing the server’s processing resources more efficiently. In contrast, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single user, but it truly does make a difference when a huge number of people are using a site simultaneously. A couple of instances of sites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner reservation portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, in other words websites that offer fast real-time communication.
Node.js in Website Hosting
All Linux website hosting service that we are offering come with Node.js and you are able to add this avant-garde platform to your account via the Add Services/Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to pick the number of instances for this specific upgrade, in other words how many separate websites/platforms will utilize Node.js at the same time, and you can order as many instances as you want. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to specify the precise location of your .js app and to select if you will use a dedicated IP or the physical server’s shared one. Accessing Node.js will be possible via a randomly generated port selected by our cloud system. Furthermore, you can stop or restart any instance that you have created, edit the path to the .js app or view the running instances’ output with only a couple of mouse clicks from your web hosting Control Panel via a really easy-to-navigate GUI.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-driven web app running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the platform comes with all our packages and you can enable it with only several mouse clicks. In case you want to use it for multiple websites, you can get more instances through the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The setup is as simple as indicating the location of your .js file and choosing whether the Node.js platform should use a dedicated IP or any of the physical server’s shared IPs, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you don’t have any previous experience with a similar software platform. Our system will also allocate a randomly generated port number which will be used to access the .js file associated with the particular app. Hepsia has an easy to work with GUI that will permit you to restart and to shut down any of your running instances, to create new ones or to see your apps’ output with just one click.
Node.js in VPS Servers
All Linux VPS servers that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel offer Node.js by default and you can use this event-driven platform for any script-based web app that you run on the Virtual Private Server. Since we have not imposed any limit as to the amount of instances that you can use, you can make full use of the power of our VPSs and combine it with the full potential of the Node.js platform. The setup is done via the Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly, point ‘n’ click graphical interface, so even if you’re not technically experienced, you won’t need to cope with any difficulties while working with the Node.js platform. You will only have to insert the folder path in the VPS account to the .js file that will use Node.js and to choose whether it will use a shared or a dedicated IP. Furthermore, our system will also allocate a port to access the file and you’ll be able to see it in the corresponding section in the Hepsia Control Panel. With just a click, you’ll be able to view the output of your apps and to delete or to reboot any Node.js instance hosted on the Virtual Private Server.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js is available with all Linux dedicated service on which our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel is installed. The latter has a rather simple and easy-to-use GUI, so even if you’ve never worked with the Node.js platform before, you will be able to uncover its full potential in only a few simple steps. As soon as you have uploaded the application’s content, you’ll have to include the folder path to the respective .js files that will use the Node.js platform and to choose the IP which they’ll use (dedicated or shared), while our system will allocate a randomly generated port that will be used to access these files. There is no limitation as to the total number of instances that you can create and run at the same time and you’ll have full control over them from the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to add new ones or to stop/reboot existing ones, to see the output log for each app, etcetera.
