My server account also provides Ruby on Rails (although I've never used it 
(yet)).  Anything there?

Do you have any other suggestions?  I'm not prepared to deal with an unmanaged 
VPS at this time otherwise, I'd just get a hosting account that does do 
node.js.  a managed VPS is just too expensive.

TIA!
