You need to get a static IP from your internet provider which needs to be linked through your router using NAT, i think.

Keep in mind that many ISP's block the port in which webservers run on.

you can either use Apache or microsoft's IIS to host from your comuter.
Apache is more powerful but IIS is more straightforward.
I have successfully hosted a website from my WAN address using apache

You can use freewebs to get started.
You can upload custom pages but you won't get the .com domain though. You can register for some free domain redirect though.

Don't "keep this in mind". In fact, this is some kid that knows nothing about what he is talking about.

If you know how to use ftp, and html. I recommend using Freehostia to host it, simple to use and gives good amount of space.
