Sorry about that. ElusiveHippo originally started as a python deployment system for higut.com. I ended up needing to create a demo/portfolio site to show prospective employers how I could pick up new technology. So I very quickly wrote a node version, released it into the wild, and waited to see how far it would go on its own. Then, I disappeared to San Francisco for a week without checking back on it.
None of the details on the site are standard or set in stone - all the pricing numbers were completely made up. Not only that, but there's actually no indication that the system works at all, is there? :) There are about 20 working alpha accounts in various hands, but it doesn't really matter if it worked or not - there's clearly been some effects ^_^.
Again, sorry for any confusion. I could write a blog post about the details, the implementation, and the aftermath if people were interested. Then, people could fairly easily implement their own. I've converted many ex-PHP, ex-Rails, ex-Django coders to nodejs using this demo site!
