Todd, There's not an ideal solution for your situation. My suggestion:
(a) set up a cloud instance with your tools + a Page and use the "share-an-instance" feature so that others can access your data, tools, histories, and page in a single place ( http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Cloud ); (b) put your tools into the tool shed for easy access ( http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/ ); (c) replicate the page + as many of the histories as possible on our public server, with a note about how to get going with either (i) tools from the tool shed or (ii) on the cloud. We're working to make public server-cloud access more easy, so there may be something on the horizon that could smooth (c)(ii) out. Best, J.
