I'm not sure if that is a good idea.

If you want to implement something like that you'll need a service like No IP (some Dynamic DNS service) and change your router confgiruation to forward traffic from the public IP to the internal/private IP and port.

 

If you're looking for a testing environment maybe you can try a cheap service (something like Linode, Digital Ocean, etc) to host your instance publicly.

Hi AKum,

 

I agree with Damian, a WAMP environment is not a good choice for Magento. However, if you want to proceed with that anyways. As Damian also mentioned, you are likely to need a DNS service such as NoIP, FreeDNS (afraid.org), DynDNS, etc. That is unless your ISP has provided you with a static (dedicated) IP.

 

If you have a Dedicated IP you can simply point an A record from your domain to the IP. If you do not have a Dedicated IP you will need one of the services listed above that can actively change your DNS records when your IP changes. I have personally used NoIP and FreeDNS in the past and both have worked well enough.

 

I would like to once again note that I highly suggest against hosting a live store locally in this fashion.

You will need a static IP to your PC in order to make your Magento website go live.

 

I suggest to try an affordable hosting/vps then move your local files to that live server.
