There are loads of free servers, i use Wamp. http://www.en.wampserver.com/download.php

It comes with php and mysql built in, so it doesnt take a long time to setup :)

[MrCraig]

if you do host yourself,
REMEMBER TO ADD A PASS TO PHPMYADMIN.

One froob didnt and yeah u can imagine what happened from there.

Because your using a router, you need for forward port 80 to your computer. Go to http://192.168.1.1 (or what ever your router address is) login and find the port forwarding page and forward port 80 to your local ip http://192.168.x.

You don't need to look into it, you just look if you have a router,

(E.G; if it says NETGEAR and/or has an antenna.)
