It isn't a stupid question. Each webhost is different, so it can take some experimenting, looking up FAQs, asking in forums, etc. before you have everything setup properly.
What webhost are you using, or are you wanting to host it yourself?

I doubt x10hosting.com will offer any options for it. Your best bet would be to have a vps or a node.js hosting.

Yeah, as Allan said, webhosts don't play well with Node.js because node doesn't support a development model like PHP does that allows public webhosts. A VPS is likely the way to go (node cloud hosts are generally quite expensive).

Ohh, that is right they do offer small plans for free. I believe Heroku is pretty well documented on their site. I have never used it, though.
