"if you don't have a static IP address, you can use DynDNS.

You should check with your provider, some ISP don't like 'hosting@home' and it may not be feasible if you'e on a limited traffic allowance."

"Yes its possible. You can use the WAMP stack to power most PHP-MySQL based apps like WordPress, Drupal etc. Is it feasible ? I doubt it.You haven't mentioned the speed, I'd say the uplink is likely to be a huge bottleneck if you're expecting lot of visitors, as is using a standard desktop system ( this might be incorrect since you haven't mentioned the system specifications).

As Molly mentioned, using a service like DynDNS will ensure that your website is accessible even if you don't have a static IP."
