Web server hardware setup & simulation

However, I have some experience with PLC programming (S7-300, Step 7 v5, WinCC) and with making of web pages (HTML, CSS, JS, PHP). I have read "Siemens Easy book for S7-1200" and "Creating and using own Web Pages for S7-1200", both documents written by Siemens. However, even after I read those 2 documents I have some questions so I would be happy to get them answered. 1. Is there any way to test functionality of a created web page like you can test your PLC program (PLCsim) or like you can test HMI you made? If it is possible, how is it performed? Is it as easy as simulating a PLC in PLCsim and going in browser and typing "localhost" or is it a little more complicated? 2. How do you have to set up PLC and router so you can access the created web page while you are NOT on a same network as PLC. So let's say the PLC is at work and I am home so I want to go on my computer and type in a browser www.myplc.com[1] and check up on my variables. I understand I need to have a web address, but how do I make that web address point to my PLC? I hope I have written these questions well since English is not my native language. Thanks

The way I test my web pages is using a live test plc on my desk, a web browser, and portal running so I can see the program running inside the plc. If you do not have an s7-1200 training kit, they are nearly invaluable and very cost effective for the devices includes in the kit. NOTE: I am not a Siemens employee or contractor, just someone who knows the value of the kit.
