Hi
Does your ISP offer a homepage that could host it for you?

Is this box going to be a dedicated machine? If not and you are using
it for other work, you need to ensure it is rock solid security wise.

I would recommend setting up a virtual machine virtualbox/vmware server
to play around with first, this could also be your development/test box
to make changes before you update the live server. Or of course run your
live server via a virtual machine.
