Node.js is a cutting-edge, event-driven asynchronous I/O system intended for sites which offer real-time interaction. A few instances of such websites are online browser game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. The platform processes the information sent between the Internet site and its users in small bits, which enhances the load speed and the overall performance of the website considerably. When a given form with three boxes is expected to be filled by a particular user, for instance, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled out and their entire content is then sent as one sizeable chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed the moment it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second box. Thus, much more info can be processed much faster and more efficiently in contrast to any conventional platform, which can have an immense effect on the performance of the site. Node.js is already being used by many of the leading IT firms like Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Website Hosting
You can make use of Node.js with every website hosting plan that we’re offering, as the platform is available on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing shared web hosting account with several mouse clicks. When you sign in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will find Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can pick how many instances you wish to order. One instance means that one application will use the platform and you’ll be able to add as many instances to your website hosting account as you like. A new section will show up in the Control Panel soon after that and to start using Node.js, you’ll need to specify the path to the .js file that will use it and to select whether the connection will go through the server’s shared IP address or through a dedicated one. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to reboot or to suspend an instance and to view the output of any given app.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Servers
With a semi-dedicated server from our company, you can make use of all the benefits that the Node.js platform is offering, because it is available with all our plans and you can add it to your account with a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel – the account management tool that’s included with each and every semi-dedicated server. If you want to use Node.js for multiple web apps, you can select the number of instances that the platform will use when you are adding this feature to your semi-dedicated package. After that, you’ll need to specify the location of the .js file in your semi-dedicated account for each instance. You can do this in the new menu that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel after you add the upgrade and during the process, you can also choose whether the access path to the specific app should go through a dedicated IP – in case you’ve got one, or through the server’s shared IP address. Each and every instance that you add can be rebooted or terminated independently and you can see your applications’ output with only a couple of clicks of the mouse.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers
Node.js is offered with all dedicated servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to take advantage of the event-driven platform as soon as your server is assembled. As Hepsia is quite intuitive, you’ll be able to make that without the need to deal with any obstacles, even if you’ve never worked with the Node.js platform before, since everything that you will have to do on your end is add the directory path to the .js file that will use Node.js and the IP address that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated one or can be shared with other web sites. You can create as many instances as you want on our really powerful dedicated machines and each of them can be managed independently – you’ll be able to start, to restart or to remove it, to view the output of the app that uses it, etc. You can do this via the easy-to-work-with, point & click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can use the power of Node.js without efforts.
