Can I use a PC(having private address and port) connected to a router as a
server? . If router is having static public IP and if in another scenario
router having dynamic public IP.
How can others access the server.

Dynamic DNS can give a dynamic IP a static name. I use no-ip.com, but you
can find others with a web search for 'dns hosting'. I use Linux for my
PPPoE/firewall/router, so I run their Unix update client automatically
whenever pppoe gets an IP.
If your router does not support a particular dynamic DNS service, you
could run a service or daemon on a PC that would periodically connect to
have them grab your public IP. Or if your IP rarely changes, it can
usually be updated with a web browser.
Of course you would need to configure your router to forward necessary
port(s) to the private IP of your server (if not set as DMZ). |

Can you use a PC as a server, the answer is yes. |
Check your Internet Service Provicer contract to see if it allows you to
legally run a server on the connection you want to use. On this I'm not
going to go into other than to say that if your contract does not allow you
to run a server the ISP may take you to court or just turn off your access.
As for your Dynamic/Static with or without router question, the simple
answer is that it can be done provided you register with a Dynamic DNS
provider and run a small program on your computer that keeps things updated.
The following link will give you much more information about Dynamic DNS
setups than I care to think about.
