Thanks everyone for the really awesome feedback and suggestions to my questions, you guys have been really helpful!

I just found out that they are a number of network restrictions where I will be teaching.
1) Installations are not permitted – not even for portable XAMPP on a USB stick
2) FTP are blocked by the school – hence making it very difficult to work locally and later transfer it to a live host

Looks like working on a live site is the only way to go!

Cheer guys and I really do appreciate all the insights and suggestions.

Thank you for the suggestions guys. I was initially not interested to use the free hosting sites because I’ve read there is a lot of limitations to it. I will give it a go then. I would definitely prefer to teach from local host but it might be too complex from some students and I don’t want to turn them off on their very first day. I might do it for an intermediate course rather than for beginners.

Many thanks.
