I felt like telling everyone on here how to host a web site from their computer, this tutorial will do just that. The first thing you need to do is download a web server client, one of the best free ones in Abyss web server which can be found here.

Once you download abyss you will need to register a domain name, (e.g. www.projectw.org). the places that you can register a domain name Is called a domain registar, there are quite a few of them, registerfly is a good one and they also offer web hosting, they can be found here.

Most domain names cost like $10 USD per year
After you register a domain name, you will need to point the domain name to your computer VIA your IP address. If you do not know your IP address or are using a router, you need to go to

to get your public IP address. Once you get your IP you need to go the my setting tab on your domain registrar’s website, and find DNS settings. Find the one that says www and put your IP address in the box that says address. Save the settings. Now to set up your computers end, install abyss, and make sure it has the web server as on. ****SETUP NOTES*** first part select run as service, this will start the web server as soon as your computer starts up, then it was say services and installation complete, click ok and it will take you to the config console. Make up a username and a password then click ok, then enter the username and password your just made. Everything should be good so click ok. Now navigate to C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs, in here you will put your website documents. A good html editor is FrontPage for beginners or macromedia dreamweaver for more advanced. Inside the htdocs folder open up the index.html file inside FrontPage or dreamweaver, and you can edit the words and add pictures and what have you. Now for the router config, only follow this if you are using a router. Go into your router config usually done by going into the web browser and enter 192.168.0.1 or whatever yours is. To find it go to start>run>cmd>ipconfig and hit enter (see pic below) type the default gateway address into your browser and hit enter, it should prompt you for username and a password, usually by default the username is either admin or administrator and there is usually no password. Navigate to virtual server or port fowarding and add a new rule, what this will do is when a connection comes in on port 80 it will send it to the computer you specify. You will need to know your mac address or network name, to get your mac address go back to start>run>cmd>ipconfig /all and hit enter. You can find your mac address under physical address. Go back to the router config and type in your mac address and add port 80 for start and port 80 for end. Please download your router manual for more info. Click save settings and your may have to restart your router. To check to see if everything works go enter your web address (eg.:mysite.com) and if you see something that say welcome to abyss web server then it is successful.
