    What are you talking about? GitHub pages is just one example of a web page host that’s free for everyone, super fast and reliable.

    Even if you need to host something that has a backend, there are free options with significantly fewer downsides than hosting on your phone.

    Cloud servers may be a bad solution for things like pinhole, but your phone would be dead in four hours if you were forcing it to stay awake to respond to every DNS request on your network.

    If you’re talking about using your phone as a stationary server that you leave plugged in, isn’t that just an extremely overpriced raspberry pi with no free IO ports?

    It’s an interesting idea, but it’s just so much worse than any other option that I can’t imagine anyone seriously wanting to do it.
