Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven system, which is used to create scalable Internet applications. It is built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a server and an immense number of online users more effectively than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in contrast to conventional platforms that process the information in sizeable hunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. For example, in case a user needs to fill out a few fields on a website, Node.js processes the info in the first field the second it’s entered, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In contrast, other systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for a single person, but it indeed does make a difference when an enormous number of people are visiting a website at once. A couple of instances of sites where Node.js can be employed are dinner reservation portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, i.e. websites that need fast real-time communication.
Node.js in Shared Hosting
You can take advantage of Node.js with each and every shared hosting plan that we’re offering, since the event-driven platform is available on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing shared hosting account with several clicks. After you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you will find Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can pick how many instances you’d like to get. One instance means that one single 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 appear in the Hepsia Control Panel soon after that and to begin using Node.js, you’ll have to insert the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select if the connection should go through the physical server’s shared IP or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside Hepsia will also permit you to reboot or to terminate an instance and to see the output of any given app.
Node.js in Dedicated Hosting
If you decide to use one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages for your script-based software applications and if you pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order procedure, you will be able to make use of Node.js at no additional fee, since the platform is included in our custom Control Panel tool. Since our dedicated servers are rather powerful, you’ll enjoy stunning results even if you host numerous Node.js instances at the same time. The setup takes several clicks and Hepsia’s user interface will make it amazingly easy for you to activate a new instance even if you have little or no previous experience. Entering the .js file path and selecting a dedicated or a shared IP will be everything that you will have to do on your end and as soon as our system has selected a port to access this file, you will be all set. Any of the Node.js instances that you’ve activated can be restarted or canceled separately and you will acquire access to an in-depth output log for each of the applications that use the Node.js platform.
