Hi Acorn,
I'm struggling with the sharing bit and sending the link.
I copied the link and send it to 1 of my other email addresses. Received the mail, clicked on the link which goes to the tunnel website warning - this is really a no-no for clients.
When I click on the proceed button I get 404.
Tried copying the link and pasting in a new browser tab - goes straight to a 404.
Such a pity as is is such a quick way to view changed to site - no more cache clearing.
Hosting your own web server as a way to demo to clients is just an awful idea.
You can buy non-Xara hosting very cheaply.
I use my own website with a client directory not linked into the main website.
Every time I want to demo a website I just upload it to a client directory and supply the link.
You can easily avoid caching issues by using a different directory every time if you wish - for example http://www.mysite.com/clients/bills-restaurant/v201026/, ..v201027/, v201027b etc. and you can easily refer back to old versions for comparison.
I've done this for years.
Do you really want to have a computer running 24/7 in case a client wants to check your design?
^^^ that's exactly how I do it too, Paul.
Again, for emphasis, it is a local web server for test and development.
It has the advantage, during development, for sharing a live SSH site with a client without having to set up something through your service provider.
Consider it a pop-up test bed service for a client with no overhead. Use and discard.
I was extolling what it can be used for locally.
