since you are most likely on a dynamic ip which is standard for residential internet you need to use a service such as dynamic dns which is free just google dynamic dns and read all about it.

In case you didn’t know, if you’re connected to the internet, anyone can already access your ‘site’ using your IP address.
You must register for a domain. Then you must point your domain to your IP address. Your IP address should be static, otherwise the domain pointer must be updated regularly. Also, if your computer is off, no one would be able to access the site.
