Putting my node.js app online

Question

So, the last two months I've been developing a Node.js app for a course in school, and on Monday it needs to be online so that my teachers can have a look at it.

How can I do this? I could really need some help here.

Thanks in advance!

Note: I'm using Mongodb for my database.

Answer 1

Do you have an always-on internet connection (e.g. DSL/cable) and are behind a router? Then you can NAT the ports your node.js app is listening on to your computer, make sure to check windows firewall as well.

Now your app is online on your private computer!

Answer 2

I've found Heroku is easy and free to host a node.js app with MongoDB.
