but if you just want to control your esp from around the globe from a website, you can do it the around way around,
attach you esp to a website.

have your esp do HTTP Request to the website, and the website will display your esp's requests.
you can easily do remote monitoring and control on your esp with that.

Thanks for Your Help. I was Seeking to Port Forwarding but my Bad Luck! My ISP has my Router Locked. I will need to as password from them... too much work ... Anyways the Second Method you said. I have done that HTTP part.website can receive the requests from esp8266 but how to send any request back to it?
