Hosting on home computer

[tuneya]

Can you host a site on your computer with a real domain name (ie. one purchased from GoDaddy or other?)

I created a simple site currently being hosted on this computer but I want to get a domain for it to make it look better. Is it possible?

Thanks

Yes, you just register the domain to point to your IP address.

What are the options if i have a dynamic IP address?

depending on what you have, you will have to bring up apache/iis or something of that sort. You will also probably want php installed.
