Node.js is an advanced, open-source, event-driven, asynchronous input/output platform meant for Internet sites which offer live communication. Several instances of such sites would be web-based browser video game portals, live chat rooms or hotel reservation portals. Node.js processes the information sent between the site and its users in small bits, which boosts the speed and the overall performance of the website substantially. If some form with three boxes is expected to be filled out by a particular user, for example, typically all three boxes should be filled out and the whole content is then forwarded as one giant chunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed as soon as it is inserted, before the user writes anything in the second box. Thus, a lot more information can be handled much faster and more effectively in contrast to any conventional system, which can exert a serious influence on the website’s overall performance. Node.js is already being employed by some of the largest IT firms like Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting
When you host a web application on our advanced cloud website hosting platform and you’d like to try Node.js, you will be able to add it to your hosting account regardless of the cloud website hosting plan that you use. This can be done via the Upgrades menu in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to take advantage of Node.js in no more than a few minutes after you add this service to the account. You will be able to choose how many instances you wish 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 insert the path to the .js file in your hosting account and select if the file in question will be reachable via the shared IP address of the physical server or via a dedicated IP. Our platform will also specify a port number for the connection. You will be able to stop or to restart each instance independently, if it’s necessary.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server account through our company, you’ll be able to take advantage of the full capacity of Node.js with any Internet app that you host on our cloud hosting platform, because it is included with each and every semi-dedicated package that we offer. You can specify the number of instances, or applications which can use Node.js, from the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can control your semi-dedicated account. The only things that you’ll need do after that will be to enter the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to choose the IP address that will be used in order to access this file. You can choose a dedicated IP if you’ve got one, or any of the physical server’s shared IPs. Our system will also specify a randomly generated port number. When you have the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you are able to view a given application’s output or to start/reboot/delete any of the instances that you’ve created.
Node.js in VPS Servers
All VPS servers that are ordered with our custom Hepsia Control Panel include Node.js by default and you can use the platform for any Internet application that you host on the Virtual Private Server. As we have not imposed a restriction as to how many instances you can get, you can use the power of our VPSs and mix it with the full capacity of the Node.js platform. The configuration is done through the Hepsia Control Panel’s time and effort saving, point ‘n’ click interface, so even if you are not technically experienced, you will not have to deal with any problems while working with the platform. You will just have to include 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 address. In addition, our system will also select a port to access this file and you’ll be able to find it in the respective Control Panel section. With just one click, you can see the output of your apps and to cancel or to reboot any Node.js instance hosted on the VPS server.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js is offered with all dedicated servers on which our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed. The latter offers an amazingly simple and easy-to-navigate graphical interface, so even if you haven’t used the Node.js platform before, you’ll be able to take advantage of its full potential in only a couple of easy steps. As soon as you have uploaded the application’s content, you’ll need to indicate the location of the specific .js files that will use Node.js and to pick the IP that they’ll use (shared or dedicated), whereas our system will allocate a randomly generated port number that will be used to access these files. There is no constraint as to the total number of Node.js instances that you can create and use simultaneously and you will exert full control over them through the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to add new ones or to remove/restart existing ones, to revise the output log for each app, and so on.
