Virtualbox as remote server

[nicosh_89]

Hello! hope this is the right section to post this,
i have a python script that works great on my virtual machine with linux ubuntu(last edition), i have a shared hosting with my website (cheap one and python scripts run extremly slow).
I was wondering if can turn my virtual machine into a 'server' so i can make calls from my real server to my virtual machine and then handle the response. A simple example: let's say in my virtual machine i'have a python script that take sys.argv[1] that is a string and output its length, in my scenario i pass the string from my server, the virtual machine runs the script with the argument i've passed and then i can handle the respons back in my web server.
this is not a permanent solution i need this only for a couple of days. Is this possible? is this simple?
Thanks in advance Nico
