Hello, how can I host a simple trial website from an Android phone?

Question

I am learning HTML and CSS and would love to share my trial site with mentors but I'd still like to have real time editing abilities.

Answer 1

I think it has to do with ISP and DNS.
I guess it is not possible to portforward with dynamic ip, since dynamic ip leases the ip from a list.
So at one point there will be a conflict

Answer 2

If your website don't have back-end you can try free services like Github Pages. If it has then you'll need a server or a web hosting service.

Hosting directly from your device is usually impossible because you don't have public IP address.

Hi Simon, the following points will accomplish your goal.

1.Download Server for PHP(or any other localhosting app) in the google playstore.

2.Use a text editor to create your website.

3.Insert your website files/folders inside the public,www folder that is provided by the localhost app.

4.Dont to forget to do "Portforward" at your local router. (port 80:8080:443 will only work if im right)

Now anyone in the world can visit your website, internal and external

May I ask why you dont configure A Rpi, arduino or any microcontroller to do those tasks?

Answer 4

Vincent Berger, as far as i know that won't work if router's ip address is dynamic or hidden behind ISP's NAT

Answer 5

Yeah, but if that is author's first experience with web hosting i'd rather recommend to start with VDS
