title: Can nodejs be installed on a free webhost
body: <p>My goal is to create a chatting website. Not so much for the sake of the website, but for the experience so I know how; just something to work towards gradually. I tried long polling, but that always ends up pissing off the webhosts whose servers I'm using. I was told to use nodejs instead. I have some idea of what it is, but no idea how to use it. </p>
  
  <p>I'm guessing that the reason I can't find the answer to this question anywhere is because of how obvious it is... to everyone else. </p>
  
  <p>I've been looking around and all I see are tutorials on installing it on your server when you own the server. I know you can install forums on webhost's servers, so can you also install nodejs?</p>
