I have built a website and want to host it on my PC. I have bought the domain I want and downloaded the dynamic DNS software but I cannot get the site to open. Any ideas?

Ok, i figured it out. All this time all I had to do was forward my dynamic IP to port 80 on my router. After I downloaded a dynamic DNS IP automatic updater of course. It was a good learning experience.
