Yes of course, at the end you'll learn how to setup your own web server at home without spending a rupee.
Internet Connection is needed. Note that this will work only on static ip's.
1.How it works
Only one thing, we just make our computer a web server so everyone in the internet can access to your server (your computer). 100% Webhosting. When your computer is switched on your online.
2.Let's Start
We're going to setup a localhost. Those who doing php,asp must have a localhost to check their web pages.
Go and download WAMP http://www.wampserver.com
What is WAMP. If you set your web server you'll need a sever.
1.Apache (A free, reliable and using all the hosting companies
2.IIS(Coming with windows)
If you need php/mysql(must have for script installations such as phpbb, wordpress, joomla etc)Other apache modules
If we're going to setup these one by one, it'll be a hell of a task and even it'll be boring to me to tell it to you (Don't think that I don't know :D )
So wamp will do that task for us with a single mouse click. wamp installs On [W]indows with [A]pache, [M]ySql, [P]hp with essential stuff ( PHPMyadmin and so on )
At the installation process change the installation directory, but don't change anything else.
At the end remember to add a shortcut your desktop and if you want to run it at startup add a shortcut to startup folder on start menu.
Now open up your browser and type http://localhost. See now your computer has become a server.(If not working make sure wamp is running, a small icon must displayed in notification area)
3.Putting your sever online.
1.Click on wamp icon on notification area.
2.Choose "put online"

1.Click on wamp icon on notification area.
2.Choose "www Directory" from the popup menu.

3.Remove index.php and add your content( Remeber to rename your home page to index)
5. Your Domain
Now find out your IP Goto => www.whatismyip.com (http://www.whatismyip.com)
Then create a free domain
.tk => www.dot.tk (http://www.dot.tk)
.co.nr => www.freedomain.co.nr (http://www.freedomain.co.nr)
.co.cc => www.free.co.cc (http://www.free.co.cc)
Upon registration set your redirect URL to your ip
eg:- If you're IP is 120.256.284 The URL will be http://120.256.284
Shared IP'S Will not work, only static IP'S
That's all. I'm sure you can't switch on your computer 24/7 * 365 days. So hosting a web site is not a good idea.
;) Here's a great tip. Sometime you'll need to share about 250MB or 700MB file with your friend. Stop wasting time on uploading it to a file hosting site. Just copy it to your www directory and send him the link.
