I just tried to set something up on DigitalOcean. It's a small website with some PHP (already written), but I'd like the possibility of expanding it with Node later. So I rented a VPS, but setting everything up is such a pain, with all that SSHing and process management and Linux permissions and everything.

Something that allowed me to just throw my site up with the ease of a common shared web host, but also allowed me to do Node with sane permissions etc., would be great.

However, it occurs to me this probably exists, and I just don't know about it.

Maybe that's the untapped opportunity - connecting people with the services that suit them?

Have you tried nearlyfreespeech? http://nearlyfreespeech.net

Yeah, so I've just spent about four hours trying it, and unfortunately it doesn't seem possible. They don't let you set more than one proxy setting for a site, which makes it impossible.

This is actually great, thankyou!

edit: Nope, they don't let you setup a proxy (for Node) and PHP on the same server :( it's one or the other

Maybe something like heroku with multipack will be just what you need.
