Check the port 80 forwarding on your router. Forward port 80 of that particular machine/server to your router. That server should have a permanent local IP like 192.168.1.* or 192.168.2.*, etc whose port 80 is forwarded to the public IP of your router. This provides access to your server/machine with the set IP from outside your network!

For router settings, open a browser, in the location bar, type http://192.168.1.1 or whatever your router manual says it to be. You will need the default user/pass to login.

In order to have a permanent access to your home server with a domain, You need to get a permanent public IP for your network from your Internet service provider in order to assign a domain name to it.
