Node.js is an event-driven platform, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used by scalable apps that require real-time interaction between a server and the online users and can substantially boost the performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly provides tiny amounts of info. For instance, in case a new user fills a subscription form, once any info is inserted in one of the fields, it is submitted to the server even if the other fields are not filled and the user has not clicked on any button, so the information is handled a whole lot faster. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled out and one big hunk of information is then delivered to the server. Regardless of how tiny the difference in the processing time may be, things change if the site expands and there are many persons using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by online booking portals, real-time web browser-based video games or instant messaging apps, for example, and plenty of corporations, including eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already incorporated it into their services.

Node.js in Hosting

If you host a web application on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform and you wish to try Node.js, you will be able to add it to your hosting account regardless of the hosting package that you are using.

You will be able to choose the number of instances that you’d like to add to the account – one instance means one application using Node.js. In the new section that will show up in the Control Panel, you can define the path to the .js file in your web hosting account and select if that file will be reachable through the shared IP address of the server or through a dedicated IP. Our system will also specify a port number for the connection. You’ll be able to terminate or to restart each instance separately, if it’s needed.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you wish to use it for several Internet sites, you can add more instances through the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The configuration is as easy as indicating the path to your .js file and choosing if the platform should use a dedicated IP address or any of the physical server’s shared IPs, so you can make use of Node.js even if you haven’t got any previous experience with similar software. Our system will also allocate a randomly generated port that will be used to access the .js file for the given app. Hepsia has a simple-to-navigate graphical interface that will allow you to reboot and to discontinue any of your existing instances, to activate new ones or to check your apps’ output with just one click.

Node.js is available as standard with each and every virtual private server that comes with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and involves no constraints when it comes to the number of Internet sites that can use it at any particular moment. This makes our Virtual Private Server packages an ideal solution for building multiple real-time web applications and for getting the most out of them. Hepsia is user-friendly enough even for persons with no prior experience, so if you would like to activate Node.js for any app, it won’t take more than several clicks to make this. You’ll only need to insert the folder path to the specific .js file and to choose whether Node.js will use the server’s shared IP address or a dedicated one. Our platform will also allocate a particular port that will be used to access the .js file. Right after that, you’ll be all set and ready to make use of the full potential of your real-time applications. Hepsia will enable you to see the applications’ output and to reboot or to shut down any of your instances using fast-access buttons.

The latter offers an amazingly intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface, so even if you’ve never used the Node.js platform before, you’ll be able to unleash its full potential in only a couple of simple steps. Once you’ve uploaded the application’s content, you will have to specify the path to the particular .js files that will use Node.js and to choose the IP address that they will use (dedicated or shared), whereas our system will select a random port number that will be used to access the files in question. There is no restriction on the total number of instances that you can set up and run at the same time and you will have full command over them via the Hepsia Control Panel – you will be able to get new ones or to stop/restart existing ones, to see the output log for each application, etc.
