While I agree with the most of what you say, I don't think that "node.js cloud hosting platform" is that wrong. In fact, when I opened the page, it didn't take me a second before I understood what it was about.

Now, to OP, I would also suggest to change the "dedicated servers" icon. Who exactly in your target sees a laptop when thinking about servers in a cloud ? It doesn't make things clear to me.

About the design, I think it lacks of whitespace in the middle (perhaps you were trying to create a cloud shape). Apart from that, I like the color scheme and the typography on the page.

The concept of "node.js cloud hosting platform" is already conveyed by the company name, domain name, and logo, so the tagline should say something else—that's why I compared it to Heroku. Heroku's name and domain don't tell you what you're getting, and yet their tagline doesn't just describe itself, it also characterizes itself. It's not just a "ruby platform". It's "rock-solid". They're not just offering to handle your deployment and scaling. They're saying you can deploy and scale "with confidence".
