On this tutorial everything is a free, just follow my steps.

I’m always using virtual machines, because running a server of any kind at home is a security risk, so by using virtual machine you can start or stop your server an any time.

If you missed up somewhere, for help, just use my previous video:
"How to download and install VMware Workstation 9 "

Here are the steps to follow to set up a website hosted entirely on your own Windows PC.
First I'll present the general steps, then I'll break down the details on the video:
Please read carefully. If you don’t understand something, don’t worry just follow my steps on video.
Any questions? Write in comment.

1. Make sure you have cable modem, DSL or another high-speed connection.

2. Get a static local IP address for your computer within your home network.

3. Get a static Internet IP address. From your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
If you ask your ISP for static IP address, they maybe ask you to pay for it, but you can do the following:

A) If your ISP blocks port 80, not all of them blocks it, but 90% do (because it’s security risk), you can always call and ask your ISP to open port 80 (you can say the reason: for Bit Torrent) If they do (they must!) you will get static IP address automatically from them, when they open port 80 for you.

B) If your ISP blocks port 80, choose an alternative port number and forward that, if you do, you should understand you must change port 80 to your alternative port on all tutorial.
you should change your server configuration file too. You can find help, in the end of the video.

1. Stop the XAMPP server, if it is running already.
2. Open the file [XAMPP Installation Folder]/apache/conf/httpd.conf.
3. Now search for the string Listen 80 (I'm assuming that your XAMPP was using the port 80. Otherwise, just search for the string 'Listen'). This is the port number which XAMPP uses. Change this 80 to any other number which you prefer.
4. Then search for the string 'ServerName' and update the port number there also.
5. Now save and re-start XAMPP server and you are done.

C) Try this link: /// noip.com/support/knowledgebase/my-isp-blocks-port-80-what-can-i-do/

But always try to do variant “a”

4. Get apache web server, I recommend XAMPP, it’s free and easy to use.

Error: Port 80 or 443 already in use installing apache service failed!
Error: Access forbidden 403!

5. Test your web server from your own network (computer).

6. Configure your router to correctly forward connections on port 80 (the HTTP port) to your web server: http://portforward.com

7. Configure Windows Firewall to allow your web server to communicate on port 80.

8. Get a DNS hostname for your home Internet connection.


some of the routers doesn't let you connect your server by domain name and it shows you your router login page but it is only inside your network, from outside everything must be ok.

if it happens, don't worry, you can connect your server by typing http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 and from Remote computer (inside your network) by server IP address http://192.168.1.179.
my goal is to connect my server from outside my network, so let's check if it works!

9. Test your web server from outside your network.
