Well, running from inside a house and making accessible from the outside is
easy. But most ot my computers at home generally don’t run 24/7.

Mainly what’s needed for what we both want to be able to do isn’t really a
shell account on a shared machine, but literally a dedicated VM instance,
but we need to be able to access that instance through a public IP address.

On a home network, a private IP Address (192.168.x.x, 172.x.x.x ‘actually I
don’t think it’s the whole 172 network’, or a 10.x.x.x) it’s easy enough to
setup port forwarding to make it accessible. But on the Cloud based VM’s, I
don’t know if there is a way to do it. Well, I know there ARE ways, usually
involves paying for the instance, an external address, and possibly the
amount of traffic.

Actually, I know Bluehost (is it still a thing?) used to  give you a VM
with public address in combination with their hosting/domain name service.
But I’m hoping to find one that will not cost me anything.

Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot.
Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do.
Normal Person: So you go surfing?
Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a
lot...
Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level.
Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?
