How To Get XAMPP On The Internet?

[Charlie6t9]

Hey, i am running my XAMPP Web server on my computer, but i don't know how to get it on the internet so other people can access my web server. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Other people will need to know your WAN IP address, or else you'll need to point a domain name at your computer.

If your IP address changes from day to day, you'll need to sign up for dynDNS or some such service.

Be very aware of the security risks associated with opening up your computer for internet access.

If your computer connects to the net through a router, you'll probably also need to set up NAT on the router too.
