You don't need a server, we offer our realtime collaborative stack as a service. We're cooking something up right now similar to TogetherJS, if you'd like a sneak peak drop me a email (in my profile).
If you want to build and host your own realtime application take a look at HAProxy (tcp mode in 1.4) for load balancing the incoming websocket connections to your application stack. There has been a lot of success using Node.js with engine.io, socket.io, or take a look at the meta Primus module.
Thanks a lot for all the pointers. Really appreciate it.
BTW any plans to zero-in on the pricing anytime soon? I saw that for one app you will always keep it free, but it will be nice to know what happens beyond that..

We're working on pricing now. No timetable at the moment, but you do get 1 app for free. We know its really important and we're working on it now.
We'd be happy to talk to you further about it and get your feedback.
No worries. I will keep following it up on your website. Thanks,
