If you have a public ip(dynamic/static) you can host your site in to internet.difference between static and dy
namic means if you have a public Static ip eg:10.0.0.1  you can access you site through http://10.0.0.1 any time.

but if your using a public dynamic ip,the particular ip will change each restart of your modem/by default it change
after 8 days.you can check your public ip through search "my ip" in google it show your ip public ip address.eg:I am also using dynamic ip my dynamic ip is now 122.167.46.47.i can access my webpage using http://122.167.46.47/jenson


1.Download the latest version of xampp ,here i am using xampp-win32-1.8.3-2-VC11-installer.

2.Install the application in to your computer( select different drive for installation)

3.After instllation it promt to you to open xampp control panel here you can see start option to run the apache and other programs.

4.If you start the programs,you can check it working or not with web broweser type "localhost" it show a  xampp starting page

5.If you want to upload your page you can upload your data under htdocs.location of htdocs is which drive you selected for installation(D:/) eg:D:\XAMPP\htdocs

6.Add you webpage-templete under htdocs and check in browser(eg:my webpage-templete name is jenson,you can search like localhost/jenson)

7.If you want to edit configuration file you can edit directly from Xampp controller(this optiononly on latest version of xampp)

8.After editing of any configuration file you need to restart the XAMPP serevr.

NOTE:If you want to access that one through internet you need to give your public ip instead of localhost
