If you have node, "serve" does pretty much the same thing. `npm install -g serve` then `serve .`

If you want a public URL you could try my side project, `expose` (https://expose.sh) in conjunction with `serve`.

Is this basically ngrok?

Yep, it's similar. I believe it can expose more than just web apps, for example SSH. I'm focusing my project on the web and making it easier to use.

This looks very interesting - thanks for developing/posting.

Would it be feasible to allow different domains to be used - maybe for a fee?

Yep that is an option, you can subscribe at https://dashboard.expose.sh, set your api key (copy and paste what's shown) then run `expose` like `expose 80 as mysite.expose.sh`
