Grab the free Apache web server from their web site. (This will require a bit of learning on your part.)
You’ll need to find out where Apache sets up your “Document Root” folder for whatever operating system you are running. That is where you’ll place any files for your website. Your homepage should be named index.htm.
Once you have Apache installed, you can test to see if it’s working by opening a web browser on the Apache computer and entering “localhost” as the address. You should see an Apache welcome page.
You’ll also likely need to configure your router to forward port 80 to the IP address of the computer that is running the Apache server.
Your question is a big one that covers way too many details to throw down in a reply, but these are the basic steps to get you started. Hope that helps.
