Node.js from localhost

Question

I'm experimenting with nodejs on my localhost now.

I do have a simple server host but I don't have SSH access etc.
How can I share my work with people in this situation?

Thanks,
Tee

you could do a couple of things:

open the port: meaning not running node.js as localhost and make sure it can be connected via the internet. You can use grc's shield up to test if the port is reachable.
tunnel it via tunnelr for example.
deploy your script to nodester.
share your screen via teamviewer.

A little more complicated, but you could buy a domain (through Google this would be about $10 US for a .com address, or as little as $2 US for a .info through GoDaddy.com) and then use a service like freedns.afraid.org to port all domain traffic to your domain. This way you can run your scripts on whatever port you like on localhost.

Here's a howto to make that work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1020886

This way you can run everything off of your local computer and not have to worry about the ssh access restrictions.
