A lot of ISP's won't allow you to receive requests on port 80. However, you can test this by trying...

-Install IIS - when you go to http://localhost, you should see an IIS start page.

-If you have a router/switch, you'll need to access the admin interface on it. This is usually default 192.168.1.1, but varies by manufacturer. You'll also need to get the local IP address of your IIS server. Go to run, hit CMD, and type IPCONFIG.

-Inside the admin interface, you'll have port forwarding. Forward port 80 to the IP address of your IIS server. Save. -Now, get your actual IP address by going to a site like whatsmyip.com.

That should do it. Ask a friend or a family member to browse to your IP address. If they see your site, your ISP allows you to host. If they don't see it, your ISP has it blocked..

Having said that, you should check out serverfault.com - this question is more suited for that site.

This is pretty easy but you need to read up on some security before making anything live.

Static IP addresses cost more money than dynamic ones so I suggest signing up to http://www.no-ip.com/. It's requires installing a program which updates a domain which your ip address everytime it changes.

You will also need to use port forwarding on your router so it knows to send all http requests to your PC. HTTP data to passed normally through port 80 or 8080.

Hope this helps.
