This question is probably better off on ServerFault. However, providing you have everything set up on your machine, you just need to open and forward port 80 to your host machine and set up a domain or access the site directly via external IP providing your bindings are set up correctly.

EDIT From a security point of view, it would be better practice to do as Germann said by having your public facing web server in its own DMZ.
