That is a hosted website. Not what I was asking for !
I want to be the host on my on laptop, from my LAN to the outside world.
1 Hav you got a domain registered? Cost about £7 per year UK pound
sterling or equivalent in your country.
2) Have you got a webserver (apache or IIS, Lamp stack, xampp etc etc )
running on your machine?
3) Does your ISP allow incoming traffic through its infrastructure?
4) Does your router support Dynamic DNS which you can configure so that
free services like: noip.com, dyn.com or comexe.cn can be configured to
route traffic to your machine?
5) I don't recommend using the Chinese comexe.cn but it's up to you.
6) Do you know html/css even at basic level?
If the answer is yes to all these questions then post back otherwise
there are free webhosts that can host the site for you and you can
password protect as well. Google cloud/Firebase, Microsoft Azure,
Amazon AWS, Netlify, GitHub pages, IBM cloud, Wordpress.com, Joomla.com
etc all provide free-service to low traffic static websites (static
means html, css and scripts).
Personally it's better to use free service but hey the choice is
yours!!. People with low intelligence should avoid using their own
laptop as a webserver because it is not suitable for that sort of
things. Use some free services and you get help on these newsgroups or
on their own forums.
I know part of it is to may the router allow access inwards but do not
know how to do anything related to what I want to do.

I want to set up a laptop with a simple multi-page website on it so I
may access it while I am on a trip.
Please either give me detailed steps to do this or links that will show
me how to do this.
I will be using Windows 7 Pro on a laptop.
I have a very fast internet connection.
I have a LAN at home with several PC, NAS connected to it.
I only want to use a browser to access my home web page so no Team
Viewer or the like please. I may allow my friends to access my web
page and they will not to want to add any additional applications.
Thank you so much.
