Do i need to set up a local server/ personal home web server? (More detailed question in description)

If i made a simple html website and i wanted to view that from other devices on my home network, do i do that by setting up a local web server/personal home web server? i only want to be able to view the site on my home network and only on devices connected to my network.

I understand this can be risky, should I not be doing this on my main PC? Also, I am curious if you happen to know of any good tutorials for first timers?

All things in this world are risky if you don't know what you are doing But fortunately you will find tons and tons of video tutorials in YouTube about this topic Just search the newest ones And of course, the ones that teach how to do it on your OS

also, if you are on windows, your port 80 (at which your server is running) is most likely blocked by the firewall. so, if it doesn't work, that is where the problem is.

Thanks, I've heard the firewall can be an issue, if I run into problems i'll be sure to make check that the port 80 isn't blocked.

Do I need to edit the local host file to allow access to local server from other devices on network?
