Free SSH Hosting
Not too long ago I found myself in a predicament. I wanted to be able to log into my box at home from work but both where behind firewalls and both had dynamic ips allocated. The solution was using ssh and port forwarding.
To get this to work, I needed a third computer that I could log into and set up the port forwarding. I combed the web looking for a free option. I thought, ” There are plenty of free web hosts out there, surely some must be offering ssh access as well.” Wrong. If you don’t believe me, look. If you’re looking right now, keep looking. When your done, come back.
Since there’s not a free option out there, you have to find a reasonable web host that will give you ssh access. I ended up going with bluehost and I can’t complain. I signed up and had ssh access with in hours, I kid you not. Plus, since you’re given unlimited bandwidth, you can setup you ports and forward them one without worrying about gobbling up MBs.
When you consider that bluehost will also give you the ability to host an unlimited number of domains and store an unlimited about of data on their hosts, its a deal hard to pass up. Go bluehost for your free ssh needs and a whole lot more.
