If you want to host it yourself then I would advise a fixed IP address. You will also need to register a domain name.

As for setting up a comp to act as a hosting server it couldnt be easyer.

Go Here, download and install. Read the instructions about adding asp, php, perl support. It should take you about 10 minutes.

Then you can access the website by local host or IP address if you are connected.
This will get you 90% on your way.

Good luck.

Thanks JoePC
