Node.js
Discover more about the capabilities of the Node.js software instrument and how it can be used to boost your web applications.
Node.js is an event-driven runtime environment, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable web applications that need real-time interaction between a server and the online users and can noticeably accelerate the performance of any Internet site that’s using it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP requests and responses and constantly delivers little amounts of info. For example, in case a new user fills in a registration form, the moment any information is inserted in any of the fields, it is delivered to the server even if the other boxes are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the info is processed much faster. In comparison, other platforms wait for the whole form to be filled out and one big hunk of information is then delivered to the server. No matter how tiny the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change if the website grows bigger and there’re a lot of people using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking portals, real-time web browser games or live chat platforms, for instance, and lots of corporations, among them Yahoo, LinkedIn and eBay, have already included it in their services.

Node.js in Website Hosting
You can take advantage of Node.js with each
website hosting package offered by us, since the platform is available on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing web hosting account with a couple of clicks of the mouse. When you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js under the Upgrades menu where you can pick how many instances you would like to activate. One instance means that one single application will use Node.js and you will be able to add as many instances to your account as you wish. A new section will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel shortly after that and to begin using Node.js, you’ll have to specify the path to the .js file that will use it and to decide whether the connection will go through the shared IP of the physical server or through a dedicated one. The controls inside Hepsia will also permit you to reboot or to suspend an instance and to view the output of any given application.

semi-dedicated server plan from us, you’ll be able to make use of the full capacity of Node.js with any web app that you host on our cloud hosting platform, since it comes with each and every semi-dedicated server package that we are offering. You can add the number of instances, or applications that can use Node.js, via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you can administer your semi-dedicated server. The only things that you’re expected to do after that will be to indicate the path to the .js file that will use Node.js within the account and to choose the IP that will be used to access that file. You can choose a dedicated IP address in case you have one, or any of the physical server’s shared IPs. Our platform will also select a random port. When you have the Node.js controls inside Hepsia, you are able to see the output of a given application or to start/restart/delete any of the instances that you have added.
