Node.js is an innovative, open-source, event-driven, asynchronous input/output platform used for sites which support real-time communication. A few examples of such sites are online browser-based video game portals, web-based chat rooms or hotel reservation portals. The platform processes the information sent between the Internet site and its users in tiny bits, which improves the load speed and the performance of the website tremendously. When some form with three boxes should be filled by a particular user, for instance, normally all three boxes should be filled and the whole content is then submitted as one massive hunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed once it is entered, before the user types anything in the second box. In this way, much more information can be processed a lot faster and more efficiently in contrast to any traditional platform, which can have a remarkable impact on the site’s overall performance. Node.js is already being employed by many of the top IT firms such as Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Hosting
You will be able to take advantage of Node.js with each and every hosting package that we are offering, as the platform is present on our cloud servers and can be added to an existing shared account with several mouse clicks. Once you log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can choose how many instances you wish to run. One instance means that one app will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your account as you like. A new section will appear in the Control Panel shortly after that and to start using Node.js, you’ll have to include the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select whether the connection should proceed through the shared IP of the physical server or via a dedicated one. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to restart or to remove an instance and to see the output of any given app.
Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages come with Node.js, so in case you would like to host any real-time application on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform, you’ll be able to make full use of the power that the system can give you with just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is upgradeable, so if you want to use Node.js for different Internet sites, you’ll be able to pick the amount of available instances, one instance being one application. Using the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate interface, you’ll need to indicate the path to the .js file for each instance and to choose whether Node.js will use a dedicated IP address or the server’s shared IP. Our cloud platform will set a random port to access your app and you will find it in the corresponding section of the Control Panel. The Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to see the output of each of your applications or to cancel/reboot each instance independently.
Node.js in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Node.js is offered with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you will be able to take full advantage of the event-driven platform once your physical machine is assembled. As Hepsia is really user-friendly, you will be able to do that without any difficulties, even if you’ve never used the Node.js platform before, as everything that you’ll need to do on your end is insert the location of the .js file that will use the platform and the IP address that will be used to access the file. The latter can be a dedicated IP or can be shared with other Internet sites. You can create as many Node.js instances as you need on our exceptionally powerful dedicated machines and each instance can be controlled separately – you’ll be able to start, to reboot or to remove it, to check the output of the application using it, etc. You can do this via the simple-to-work-with, point & click Hepsia Control Panel, so you can make full use of the power of the Node.js platform with no effort.
