Allow client to view website developed on localhost

[paulk7737514]

Normally I develop on a remote server in a password-protected folder, so I just send the client the username and password that allow them to access and view the site in production. However, this time I am developing on localhost using a virtual host name that replicates the educational institution name in order to test their CAS (centralized authentication service) with the site.

So the question is how do I all them to view the site on localhost? I have found this software https://pagekite.net/ but don't know if there are other, better alternatives.

It can be done, relatively easily.

Look into "access local server from internet port forwarding"

The first couple articles will give you what you need to do it.

Whether your IT department allows it is another story entirely.
