Re: [Exist-open] pagekite and eXist: the magic hosting match?

Indeed, this looks like it could be extremely useful.

Of course, people can access your localhost if you give them your IP number, but this is much cleaner, if you e.g. wish to show someone how a project looks.

When you use port 8080, you get 2560 MB and 31 days on a trial account.
