Can I have my computer on Internet as server?

[cheguvera]

Hi,

I have a computer and broadband internet (as we call it in UK) at home. This broadband is provided by my local Cable TV operator.

If I have a database (say Oracle or MySQL) on my PC and a J2EE application running with it, is it possible that other people on internet can look at that application / web page?

May be with some limitations, but is that possible?

What else technology or infracture / logistics I need to achive this? How expensive that can be?

Please guide.

Regards

This is very possible, and LOTS of people have done it.
