How to Access Website Hosted on Your Home Computer from Anywhere

If you’ve ever wanted to use your own computer as a server to host your website, then this article is for you. When we think about that there would be 2 main challenges that may oppose us and here we are going to solve them.

The second challenge is that most of us are having a dynamic public IP and the static one is expensive, so we need to use a domain name instead of using IP address to access the application and this domain name needs to be updated periodically.

At this moment, you need to check that your port is opened successfully by visiting this website, in the IP address field write your public IP address and for the port number write the opened port number. Now we are going to reserve this private IP address to your host machine, so that every time you connect to the router, the same IP address will be assigned to this host machine.
