I use dropbox and LAMP together to 'distribute' small projects.

Basically I install dropbox on a linux box, and use apache's mod_vhost_alias to automatically map incoming requests to the correct folder. Most of the time I use sqlite as DB storage so the file stays in the dropbox folder.

When I want to put changes online I just copy/paste the files. Of course this is no way of working when you have bigger sites or sites that have a lot of db changes, but when you get there you better find more suitable hosting then the one I have anyway.

I like this way because the dropbox folder is synced with my netbook and macbook as well, so my setup is quite portable!
