VirtualHostX Lift Off
Share your virtual hosts over the internet with one click
VirtualHostX Lift Off is the easiest way to share your virtual hosts with anyone over the internet. One click, and you're done.
Each copy of VirtualHostX comes with a free trial of Lift Off. If you find it useful, it's just $10/month for unlimited use, or you can buy a day pass for $1 and pay-as-you-go.
How Does it Work?
Lift Off creates a secure connection between your Mac and the VirtualHostX Cloud then gives you a unique URL that you can pass around to your boss, client, or friend to view your site.
Since your virtual host is being served live off of your Mac, there's no uploading files or waiting. Changes you make locally appear automatically for your users.
It really is that simple. Download VirtualHostX and give it a try.
Technical Details?
For the curious geeks in the audience, Lift Off establishes a reverse SSH tunnel from our proxy servers to the local Apache server on your Mac. We then assign you a random http://vhx.me short URL that dynamically routes your users through our servers back to your Mac.
There's no reason a smart geek like you couldn't setup this sort of thing on your own, but we hope you'll like that we've already done the hard work to make it one-click simple :-)
