In general, how do you determine what software is running on the server side? None of the obvious links are to .php documents and the headers only indicate nginx
Look their cookies. You will see PHPSESSID meaning that session is provided by PHP. Although, you can do the same with node session module it seems like php anyway. Plus: http://builtwith.com/evennode.com

In 2014 ftp access is not a feature, it is an alarm bell to anyone that has any concern at all for security.
I _hope_ that when they write 'FTP' they actually mean '(FTP or) SFTP'. Alas, that's no always true.
This sounds like a joke to me. 1- "Hosting for Node.js apps done right": Like everything else is done wrong? That's just weird. 2- What does "designed for cloud" mean? 3- "Free support"? How gullible do you think we are? At 6e/mo, anyone that believes they're getting any kind of "Free support" is wrong. Or else this service is going to fail big time. Now some constructive criticism: I see "FTP access". But as a dev,…
Really neat to have FTP access for new JavaScript to NodeJS developers that don't know how to use git yet.
- Continuous Deployment: automatic load-balancing, proper termination of instances, all seem to apply without documentation or not?!
- Redis: MongoDB for persistent data is fine in many cases but for performance nothing beats a key/value storage (also: some session storage works well with redis)
- Where is it hosted? Europe? Unusable for my location :)
Irony is that their website is powered by PHP rather than node.
That isn't irony. There seems to be a tendency in the nodejs community to try and use it in any and every situation, regardless of how suitable it is for that situation.
does anyone know if bower, grunt, etc. are working?

As for criticism... that they charge premium for TLS on custom domains. While this is probably reasonable business decision, it does community a bit of bad service - additional costs for security discourages users from having one. And TLS already has that bar quite high.

They seemingly do: http://www.evennode.com/docs/ftp-access#tls
The former is classic FTP sessions secured with TLS on all or some (negotiated at runtime) connections. The latter is a (saner, IMHO) separate protocol traditionally run over SSH session.
