My understanding of many shared hosting providers is that they effectively 'jail' your ftp access to your specific directory and then probably use permissions in some form to prevent php/ruby/etc accessing out of that directory. Do shared hosts support node now? I havent used a shared host since I learned PHP, but given the effective difference in how node scripts are ran vs php/RoR/etc, it seems like that would end up complicated Edit: Quick google answered my last question - shared hosting providers that also support nodejs tend to do so via vps
