Cannot host website on my personal server

Question

I am not able to host my website on my personal server. I am using IIS7. I have already forwarded the port number 80 on my router and configured my firewall to allow incoming connections on port 80. The strange thing is that I am able to access SQL Server databse from outside which is running on port number 1433 but not my website. Please help.
