your post is a bit vague...

to upload your website to a server like one from godaddy or bluehost you will either need to use an FTP program like filezilla or FTP Commander. Then tranfer your database files via phpmyadmin which depending on your host will either need to be installed by you OR it may be inluded in the Cpanel for your site..

If you are looking to run a local server from home to host your website(s) thaqt is a different process..

Still not being specific enough. Are you looking to host the site from your computer? or have it hosted someplace else?

hosting a website from home isn't quite as simple as many woul think.

IF you are looking to host the site from home. you will first need to check with your ISP (internet provider) to see if they indeed allow it (and if they do. do they allow it from a personal account versus a business account)

Then you need to assure that your planned server is beefy enough (enough RAM, processor speed, etc) to handle the load.

To start

no problem on the hardware stuff just need to set it up before someone setup cctv camera's here i just want to know how to setup my xampp websites so other can access it also

The quick and dirty.

You will need to sort out your network IP for your server machine and configure your router and firewalls so that when userX enters the server IP or domain on their computer it points to the Server.

Basically you are looking to setup an intranet

If you want people from outside your network to view it like you going to google to look for something, that is internet and requires permission from your internet provider..

I don't anything about CCTV.. Hosting a website/server there are terms and policies to abide by from your ISP. No sense in going through the whole will this work, will that work process if your not allowed to do it..

You would need to set a firewall rule (or whatever the termenology is) to allow incoming traffic to point to your server.
