To be accessable from the web you need publicly registered IP address
which does not change. You would need to get this from your Internet
Service Provider. Also you should have a registered domain name. Your
ISP can help with that or you can register it yourself through
organizations which charge a small fee to do so. Technically the URL to
access your site can have just an IP address, instead of a domain name,
but that is not very useful for people to type in a browser. It does
work fine in a link to your site.
Also a dial up connection does not work well because youa are not
always on the web and usually you get different IP addresses each time
you dial into the ISP (although there are ways for the ISP to handle
this with you domain name) and usually there are inactivity timeouts
which drop you connection if there are no packets flowing.
Hope this helps,
