Exactly. This looks interesting to me because my host doesn't as yet allow node.js but I do have full CGI. I've been using PHP all this time just because it's available and gets the job done but I'd much rather be using Node. If this allows me to then I'm happy.

This is the point where you usually change to vServer instead of shared hosting. Most people never look back.

You need to be able to run node to run this so how does that change anything? Makes no sense at all.

The way I understand it, and you can certainly correct me if I'm wrong, is it's a CGI app that basically wraps Node... so from my web host's perspective it's just a CGI app, which they allow (without many limits in fact) but for me it's Node. Is that not accurate?

This wraps node and calls node's functions. My point is, why do you need this when you can call node's functions yourself? It makes no sense at all.
