Either rent a VPS and setup the node.js yourself or try to find some shared hosting offering node.js with socket.io

Note that you will have to change your batch script when you get a VPS unless for some strange reason you get a Windows-based VPS. But I would still suggest a Linux-based VPS, since node is still primarily a Linux technology (even though node itself and all of the major modules like Express and Socket.io work on Windows, many do not).
