Dude,why do you want to host the website on your own PC?
I agree that broadband and static ip favour that but remember that then you will also face severe security threats
You may need to keep ur PC on for the entire day if u want that ur site shud be accessible always.
Moreover,you will have problems even if u want to surf the net because that will eat ur bandwidth nd make ur site slow
I suggest you buy a server space and domain name(free webspace and free subdomain are also available,jus search in google!)
Just in case you still decide to host ur website,then do as follows:
1. Download WAMP Server(Apache,PHP,MySQLite-Total around 20 MB download)......thats only if u are gonna use PHP scripts or have dynamic/data driven webpages.If u r gonna use somple HTML,then no need to use PHP and MySQL!
2. Install the server software
3.Go the Folder(Directory) where u installed the server software and find a folder named as 'www'.Copy all your webpages and necessary images from the local folder to the the 'www' folder in server directory.(Remember to name the first page-which you want ur visitors to see as they enter ur site as index.html)
4.Visit
www.whatismyip.com and find out your IP.ur IP address will be something like 203.115.12.21.
Pass on this number to ur friends or clients as ur web address.
Note: If u want ur web address to be something like
www.mywebaddress.com ,then u will hav to register a domain name and manage the DNS to change it to your IP!
