1. Get a static IP (or use a dynamic to static service)

2. buy a domain name and point it to your static ip

3. set your firewall/router to point all clients hitting it at port 80 to go to your internal machine
You need to register the site with a URL with a registrar company such as GoDaddy, etc. Then, make sure your company allows the website to be accessed outside of your network.  Usually, a firewall does not allow outside access to the box.
right, you will want to call your isp and make sure they will allow traffic on port 80 (or whatevver port you want to use for traffic)

Our company already has an external website.

I want my website to look like

www.company.com/mywebsite
that would be done through IIS or apache (whatever you're using); you might want to try intranet.company.com as well.
directing computers to intranet.comapny.com can usually be controlled right from the registrar's panel, negating the need to mess with iis or apache
the main website is configures on IIS server. (www.company.com)
I right clicked on the main website in IIS manager and created a new application pointing to my website.
I am able to browse it on the server.
But when i try to access by going to www.company.com/MyWebsite its not working.
