Pretty much every developer got access to web server. Why not just use ssh tunnels? ssh -f -N -q -R 123:localhost:80 login@remote.example.com The only difference is that your website will be on different port, e.g. remote.example.com:123 For me it is much easier to setup, cost 0$ vs. >= 4$ / month. I do not have to trust someone to run some random code with root privileges... Am I missing something? The number of website which offer something that substitute ssh tunnel is astonishing. Anyway, there is also free version by twilio: http://progrium.com/localtunnel/ http://progrium.com/localtunnel/

Yes, for a developer, there are many ways to do this. PageKite aims to be more reliable, fast and convenient. It also provides niceties like preconfigured SSL certificates and automatic DNS subdomain provisioning and is smart about reconnecting and adapting to changes in the network environment. The downside is, to reap those benefits you have to learn to use a new tool. :-) Edit: Also, you've got our pricing wrong. We ask for $3/month, but you can go even lower if you are a hobbyist or buy a group subscription and get a bulk discount.
