  • Now i want to put them on the internet, how can i do that?

    Firslty, you need a public IP address to let the internet user to access your server. Then you should register a domain and bind the domain with the pubic IP address.

    After doing this, you could set the IIS site binding with the domain you have registered to let the customer to access your site.

    Can i use my windows server to host the site?

    Yes

    How can i get a domain and point this domain to my server-pc ip?

    You need to contact to your network provider to buy a public IP address. Then you need to buy a domain on the domain provider like GoDaddy. Then you could follow the domain provider's article to set DNS(bind with public IP).
