Node.js is a cutting-edge, open-source, event-driven, asynchronous I/O system designed for websites which support real-time interaction. Some instances of such websites would be web-based browser video game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. Node.js handles the info exchanged between the Internet site and its users in tiny bits, which accelerates the load speed and the overall performance of the site tremendously. When some form with three boxes should be filled by a user, for example, normally all three boxes should be filled and the entire content is then sent as one big hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed as soon as it is inserted, before the user types anything in the second box. Therefore, a lot more information can be handled a lot faster and more effectively in contrast to any other platform, which can have a tremendous influence on the overall performance of the website. Node.js is already being employed by many of the biggest IT corporations like Microsoft and Yahoo.
Node.js in Website Hosting
As Node.js is available on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your web hosting account and to utilize it for any web-based application that you have, irrespective of which website hosting package you’ve picked upon registration. The Upgrades section in the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting accounts, will permit you to select the number of instances that you wish to order – this is the number of the web apps that will use Node.js. Several minutes after that, you will be able to enter the path to the application, in other words where the .js file will be located in your account, as well as to pick the IP to access the file – a dedicated IP address or the physical server’s shared one. In the new Node.js section that will show up in the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to reboot an instance or to shut it down if you do not want it anymore. You’ll also gain access to the output code with just a single click.
Node.js in Dedicated Hosting
When you decide to buy any of our Linux dedicated hosting for your script-powered software apps and if you select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order process, you’ll be able to use Node.js at no additional fee, since this event-driven platform is built into our custom-developed Control Panel tool. As our dedicated servers are truly powerful, you’ll enjoy superb performance even if you run numerous Node.js instances at the same time. The configuration requires several clicks of the mouse and Hepsia’s graphical user interface will make it extremely easy for you to activate a new Node.js instance even if you’ve got little or no previous experience. Entering the .js file path and choosing a dedicated or a shared IP will be everything that you’ll have to do yourself and once our system has set a port to access that file, you’ll be all set. Any of the instances that you have created can be restarted or deleted independently and you will be given access to a comprehensive output log for each app that uses the Node.js platform.
