You have a web site that you are hosting on your computer at home. You currently have a dynamic IP address. That's between you and your Internet service provider. You can get a static IP address from the, and then your IP address will always be the same. If you have a domain, presumably you used someone to acquire that domain for you. When/if you get a static IP address, just tell them what the static IP address and they can point www.<yourdomain>.com to that IP address. As for whether or not you can host a domain on your home computer so that it can be seen all over the world, read your contract with your Internet service provider. If it allows you to, then you can. If it doesn't, then you can't, and should use a hosting provider to host the site. DS
