Internal Domain Server

i need to be able to host a private laravel application in my area i belong to a big company and we use an internal domain i have an Admin privileges so i can remote my section pc's. I just have a normal PC with admin account and we connect through Wimax . So can i host my laravel application for my section by just edit the Hosts file in my client's Or i need to get a new privileges from my Admin Controller.

You should have the machine name added to the DNS. But seriously? running something on your own machine is never a good idea.

@Snapey We already have a Global DNS for the whole company so i think it won't be a problem i guess, and why it's not a good idea to run it on my own machine as a performance you mean!!

I mean as you have to leave your machine on and services running all the time. If you turn it off, or it shutsdown for updates then noone can access the service.

You are also likely to have DHCP to allocate the IP address so this could change unpredictably. As well as asking your admins for a hostname you should also ask for a fixed IP

We already have static IP's as we in Internal Domain and IP's won't change and am an Admin but not a Domain Controller so i can but Hostname in my clients PC so it will work even through Wimax that's my Main question i connecting am not connecting to my clients through Switches but through Wimax then Switches
