RatChet PHP - Problems with websocket - php

Question

I did a webchat using Ratchet, it works perfectly on my computer, if I start the script by using command line, it runs, and if I open the localhost of the chat in another browser, it works perfectly, I can talk with my other browser, then, I did it, I felt wonder, but I tried to make deploy of my chat, and share with my friends to see if it is really working for everyone, and isn't working to everyone, only send the message and nobody can see, so, I don't know if the websocket is really working or if the problem is the server host, because I use 000webhost, maybe it isn't so good using websockets.

Well, I sent only these sources, because in my opinion that's important, help, please!

Apparently, ratchet doesn't work on 000webhost, as it requires shell access.
