HTML host file with ngrok

Is it possible to host an HTML file with NGROK instead of a web application? I don't know anything about NGROK, I just used it to host the server for the Twilio application, and I want to use it to host the HTML file for my other project. Also, does anyone know how to create an HTML file on a Mac? Thanks in advance. Or, if I can’t use NGROK, someone knows something simple and free, this is what I can use to host an HTML file on my computer. I need to be able to modify the file in real time, so google sites and the like are out of the question.

No. ngrok only tunnels traffic, so it cannot actually serve the HTML file for you.

You can, however, easily maintain a file directory. One of the fastest ways to start a server is to use python. From the command line cdto the directory containing your HTML files, and run:

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Or for python3 (not installed by default for OS X):

$ python -m http.server

Then run in another terminal ngrok.
