Hope that helps Poseidon Edited March 19, 2014 by Poseidon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Security wise its not wise to host an online website with xampp on a side note you can pick up a hosting package hosted professional for next to nothing, really xampp is for development purpose only not for live websites unless you have a dedicated system with its own line (Broadband connection), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, i'm just going to test it. I just want to know and try how could I host a web at home. i'm not really going to host it for like 24/7.. I'll just make it online everytime i'm using my pc. can you teach me how i'm gonna do that? I only need to know how to host it online and link the fluxcp to the mysql provided by xampp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem i'm encountering now is that my port 80 is blocked. maybe my ISP which is bayantel is blocking it. anyway, nevermind about it. thanks.
