DESCRIPTION:
I have a shared hosting (Cpanel) and I want to install Node.js in this hosting so I can install the GHOST, great tool to manage articles without the need to base my entire project on a CMS like Joomla or Wordpress.
PROBLEM:
Shared hosting does not have native Node.js.
QUESTION:
If possible, how to install Node.js on a shared hosting that used Cpanel?
ALTERNATIVE:
Any other tool that does the same as Ghost, but doesn’t use Node.js platform and that is as simple as Ghost.
Usually shared hosts don’t let you install anything, because you would need root permission to do so.

Only your hosting service can install Node.js on shared hosting, and rarely do they, most only give you permission to install on dedicated servers...

@Alexandrestrevenski "Unfortunately some specific cloud servers to use Node.js like Nodejitsu & Heeroku are NOT compatible with Ghost. They will work at first, but will delete your files, images and your database will disappear. Heroku supports Mysql and you can use it, but you will still lose your uploaded images." http://docs.ghost.org/pt-BR/installation/deploy/

The alternative tool would be Wordpress. Despite having some security flaws, presents better compatibility. To use Node.js the ideal is to have a vps or cloud server with cPanel license, so you can freely customize the modules.
