I'm designing an e-Commerce site using WordPress and WAMP server. How can I allow my client to gain access to the server?

1. Put Online your wamp server.

2. Port forward your router ( TCP port 80 to the PC running wamp )

3. Make the PC running wamp have a static IP Address ( or port forwarding may stop working on a reboot that gets you a different ip from the routers DHCP server )

4. Tell your users to use [111.111.111.111] to access your site

OR

4a. use a dynamic dns service like DYNDNS.COM to allocate a [mysite.webhop.org] style address instead of the ip address which may change when you reboot your router
