[dba-Tech] How can I set up a web-server at home?

[Stuart McLachlan]

1. You need a fixed IP address from your ISP.

2. Port forwarding set up on your router to forward Port 80 traffic to the box acting as a web 
server.

3. Something like  WAMP Server installed on the box.


And a good firewall :)
