This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
First off, do you have information on the machine that you do not want to share with the outside world? If so, given the lack of experience that you expressed in your post, you need to put some thought into security before you decide how to achieve your goal. You can find web hosting for little of nothing and, given you go with a reputable company, they will understand much more than you will about configuring the server to be secure.
If you can give me a little more information about what you are trying to achieve, I can offer more advice. This is the info I need:
Are you setting up a site that will be accessed by the general public, employees, clients, or just yourself?
Is this an application that you have written, bought, or found as freeware?
If you didn't write it, where did it come from (to see what kind of security problems the app may present)?
Do you already have a domain name?
If you can provide this info, I'll do my best to steer you in the direction that will be the least expensive and most secure.

My machine is not a secret one
It is Microsoft windows 2000 dedicated for server for which i have to decide what kind of web server i have to use
>>>Are you setting up a site that will be accessed by the general public, employees, clients, or just yourself?
yes
>>>Is this an application that you have written, bought, or found as freeware? If you didn't write it, where did it come from (to see what kind of security problems the app may present)?
i have developed JSP based web application, having database Oracle running using Apache Tomcat 4.1.24 at the moment like http://localhost:8080/my_webapp/login.jsp
>>>Do you already have a domain name?
No, but I will have an IP address soon
Thanks

if you are already running with apache and tomcat you should have it on your local network,
To go on Internet you just have to get a public IP address from your Netadmin or ISP.
