If you have a decent connection, it will take longer but it should work.

Although some (many?) ISPs prohibit using your own device (at home) as a (web) server.

I use my phone with ATT for a hotspot for a godaddy account that for some reason I cannot log into with my Time Warner cable account and it works fine. Quite fast as well.

Should be fine if you have a good connection. You might go through your data allowance quickly, depending on your cell plan.
