Hey, I'm really new to making websites and stuff, and I need some help.
I'm making a kusaba style imageboard that I'm hosting on my PC. I downloaded XAMPP and the imageboard works fine on the local IP address, (127.0.0.1). However, I want the website to be accessible by people over the internet. How do I do this?

I am sorry that I cannot be more specific than this but I really don't know much about this at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

First you have to open port 80 (for HTTP) and use your IP as address or use a program like No-IP to use a Domain Name associated to your IP.

... This would also mean you need to have your PC on 24/7... most people just find themselves a free host that will run their PHP/MySQL scripts.
