    For hosting it for external access, IIS the way to go (99% of people do that on a Windows computer). You can add it in Windows 7 from Programs and Features -> Turn Windows Features on or off -> Internet Information Services.

    Once you install it then edit your Default Web Site and point it to your project root folder. Now browse to http://localhost or http://computer_name_or_ip.
