Node.js is an advanced event-driven platform, which is used to create scalable applications. It uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and an immense number of users much more efficiently than any other platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in difference between traditional platforms that process the info in giant hunks, it processes everything in tiny bits. As an illustration, when a user needs to fill out a few fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the info in the first field once it’s entered, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more efficiently. In contrast, conventional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single user, but it truly does make a difference if a large number of people are browsing a site at once. A few instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner reservation portals, live chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, in other words sites that support fast live communication.
Node.js in Cloud Website Hosting
As Node.js is present on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it to your shared account and to use it for any web-based application that you’ve got, regardless of which cloud website hosting plan you have picked during the order process. The Upgrades menu in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all hosting accounts, will permit you to choose the number of instances that you want to use – this is the number of the web applications that will use Node.js. A couple of minutes after that, you’ll be able to insert the path to the application, in other words where the .js file will be located in your shared web hosting account, as well as to pick the IP to get access to that file – a dedicated IP or the server’s shared IP. In the new Node.js menu that will appear in the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to reboot an instance or to cancel it if you don’t require it any longer. You’ll also get access to the output code with just one mouse click.
Node.js in VPS Servers
Node.js is offered as standard with each VPS server that is ordered with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and imposes no restrictions with regard to the number of sites that can use it at any particular time. This makes our VPS packages an ideal option for managing numerous real-time script-based web apps and for getting the most out of them. Hepsia is user-friendly enough even for persons without any previous experience, so if you wish to enable Node.js for any application, it will not take more than a couple of clicks to do it. You will simply need to enter the folder path to the given .js file and to choose if Node.js will use the server’s shared IP address or a dedicated one. Our system will also set a particular port number that will be used to access the .js file. After that, you will be all set and ready to use the full potential of your real-time apps. Hepsia will allow you to check the output of the applications and to restart or to deactivate any of your instances using quick-access controls.
