Won't the unpopularity of node.js hosting be a problem for making a pop CMS?

Question

CMS

A couple of months ago, I got excited about building my own bike: for experience and, if you're lucky, fame. There is enthusiasm, philosophy, stack, principles, even a prototype. It will be a very, very user friendly engine for the target audience of WordPress (except for bloggers). Whereas the rest of the products on node.js are tailored more for seasoned webmasters, and for good reason: at least you need to poke around on the command line.
In this connection, one “but” does not come out of my head: such things are put with great difficulty only on VDS, and even on special hostings, not without hemorrhoids. I’m not even sure if my sharpened hosting will somehow solve the problem, because even I can’t sell it cheaply. Popsy with this alignment and does not smell.
Maybe there are some forecasts or positive dynamics in the development of hosting, maybe some kind of technology or script that will allow you to make shared hosting for a node? And yes, thanks for the advice!
PS: timeweb announced support for node.js a long time ago, but never finished it. Who knows what problems the hoster may face in this case?

UPD: quite by accident I found node support on hosting.ua (it is activated via ssh, as I understand it, so the minimum shared tariff is $30/year). The positive trend cannot but rejoice.

Answer 1

It seems to me that now it is a matter of hosting specialization for a specific platform.
There are more and more managed platforms for specific software.
Read the article Hosting: keep doing the same thing, you have already been eaten , which describes exactly this trend (including managed wordpress hosting).
Similar services have already begun to appear, for example, not so long ago Appnestic was presented on Habré .
Do you want to make a business based on this platform? And precisely "for housewives"? Then, it seems to me, you will need to try to raise the entire backend automatically when registering with you, so that after the registration form the user immediately goes to the admin panel of his new CMS.

Answer 2

None of the numerous CMS in Python, Java, etc. took off.
In CMS, systems made in PHP rule the ball.
If you provide a service, that is, your hosting with an already installed CMS. And you yourself will be engaged in servicing it - then no one will care what is inside.

Answer 3

Everything has long moved from the category of machine hosting, even virtual, to the category of cloud services.
Do not forget that php is one-shot of the application, it worked and died, the next one will come - work it all out again. And nodejs is quite a long-lived full-fledged service, like java, python, ruby, etc. The platform is different, you need a different hosting.
