[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 1050157, member: 3850"] Basically, every time you connect to your ISP, you get a random IP address (dynamic), which makes it difficult to connect to your home network reliably. A static (fixed) IP address solved this issue, but will usually cost you extra. I do have to ask though: why do you want to host it yourself? Your internet connection's outgoing (upload) speed is usually not that great, so your site won't be particularly fast for visitors, so unless it's for home automation or something, you're usually much better off just paying a few bucks to host it properly with a hosting service, or getting a free blog or something.
