      Overview - What is PageKite?

      pagekite.net
      PageKite is a system for connecting your localhost servers to the public Internet, giving them names and making them globally accessible. It works on most common operating systems and it doesn't matter what kind of Internet connection you have.

      Using a laptop over 3G? No problem.
      A desktop sharing an ADSL line with 10 other computers? That's fine too.
      Is port 80 already taken on your virtual cloud server? PageKite can help.
      

      PageKite opens up a whole world of new possibilities - see below for some examples of what it can do for you. Maybe you'll come up with something we didn't even think of!

        Will look into this. Seems to be a good option for self-hosting.
