The first thing you should do is hire an expert to do it.. Sit back and relax while waiting.

[chocomai]

yup.. hire somebody to do it and learn from him

or.. study hard on your own..

study apache (free)

its actually easy.

all u need to have is a static public ip a domain name and XAMPP

XAMPP is a windows version of LAMP

just google it and download it and install then in a few minutes time walahh!!! u got webserver already.

XAMPP is good since ur not an expert yet.. u dont need to master linux since it runs in windows OS.

try it first then if ur having hard time with it then just post it here I AM GLAD TO HELP.

# xampp contains: Apache, MySQL, PHP # xampp distribution for Linux, windows

Its possible with or without static ip.
Do you have static ip or dynamic?

dontknowmewho,

Ok ra man if you use IIS. It's indeed easy to set up, and it's recommended for users who want to set up their own personal web servers for the first time. Don't easily believe people who claim that IIS sucks; it can just be as secure as Apache as long you know how to properly configure it. The problem with IIS is that it has nearly everything enabled by default, and that many of the exploitable bugs are in those services that you never need.

Once you get the hang of setting up IIS, you will eventually require more flexibility that Apache, lighttpd, and other web servers offer. At this point, you may want to explore setting up a Unix operating system. Free Unix systems include FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. Linux, although not a real Unix, will be a good choice for new users.

If you're just experimenting, you need not register for a domain name. In fact, you don't even have to have an IP address (except for loopback) at all. You can just access your server via "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"
