xampp

I have an online presentation to do next week and I have it all ready to go.

The website is HTML and CSS only (no DB), and currently resides on my shared hosting account.

Now, although my shared hosting is (relatively) reliable, I have noticed that recently they have been making some changes and my website has been unavailable at times.

I don't want this to happen to me on the morning of my presentation, so I am asking what is the best way to prepare for such a thing?

My domain is www.presentation.mydomain.com and I would like to keep this if possible (even if issues arise).

I have been thinking of a few alternatives:

Host my site on two different domains or servers (but what about the domain name?)
Have a portable XAMPP version on a USB stick (again, domain name?)
Possible failover site/location

Update

The presentation will be carried out on their laptop, not mine. So I am unable to install any software.
