Only thing I don't like with MongoDB/Node is that it requires a VPS and can't be deployed on a shared hosting environment. Or is there a company that can host MongoDB/Node combination at an affordable price today?

dotCloud runs a fully replicated MongoDB along with your entire application - no need for a separate add-on provider.
There are a number of MongoDB shared hosts listed at http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Hosting+Center that you might want to check out.
I know this isn't exactly answering your question, but if you deploy on an Amazon EC2 instance, you can use MongoHQ's shared hosting in conjunction to your pre-existing Node provider. MongoHQ runs on the AWS infrastructure, so the latency between your Node server and MongoHQ is insignificant (we use EngineYard with MongoHQ and the latency for a simple small read is anywhere between 1-5ms).
Make sure that the regions match up though! :D

Have you tried Heroku? I've been using Heroku and MongoLab's plugin, all for free. It can get expensive after lots of data, but until then, it is all free.
You can do it with Heroku if you don't mind using MongoLab or MongoHQ. There's also the option of spinning up a free 128mb Node.js SmartMachine at http://no.de.
you can also try cloudfoundry from vmware (http://cloudfoundry.com/). It is currently in beta and free
