Assuming that you are hosting at home on a residential DSL line you need to forward ports on your router... You wont be able to use port 80 most likely...

this is very simple, set up WAMP   on a pc, and open up port 80 on your router to allow incomming traffic to access your site, then find out your EXTERNAL IP and type that in, in theory it should work Pm me if you need any help

You cant forward 443...

 

Most ISPs block it; try using non standard ports like 5231 and 5232 to test it and make sure you are sending it to the right lan computer. Also check you dont have a firewall on the LAN PC

Firewall on that PC? Oh and its WAMP so you probably need to run apache as a service and bind it to a port

Advise would be get a cheap website host, hosting from home PC is not best ideas. Slow, unreliable..

 

And insecure.

Hosting a webapplication from your home PC using WAMP - oh my god, you'll get PWNED.

Why not just make a LAMP server in a VM? More secure and it just works. I've only used XAMPP 1-2 times and it seems like a very bad idea to run it on your desktop computers host OS.

 

If you are going to host your own site and it's small (not wordpress or drupal based) then get a raspberry pi. Silent, secure and low power.

You've right clicked on the wamp server in tray and selected Go Online, right?

Also you must forward 80 to your internal ip address.

The Pi can handle very heavy sites as long as they don't involve a ridiculous amount of SQL queries. I've been hosting a site from home on my Pi for some time now

1) I use FreeDNS (google it)

2) Please don't open your desktop to the internet. Use a machine that is not so important, or a small linux-based computer like a Raspberry Pi. Hosting from your desktop will make you and your files vulnerable to zero-day attacks, especially if all your ports are forwarded.

3) I'd strongly recommend you use an online host.

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.
