There is no need for parsoid to run on the same server, and therefor you can install it on another available cloud platform which supports node.js, such as Heroko, and you can even so it for free if your needs are not of a wide scale. Actually this is what I am doing, and by deploying one instance of parsoid on Heroku I can support VE on many small wikis.
