Depends on what capabilities you want. The short version is, download an HTTP server (such as Apache), and set it up according to the documentation provided. Once it runs alright, start getting the add-ons you want. Since you're posting here I'll assume you want PHP, so you can download it from http://www.php.net/. MySQL is a popular free database, it can be found at http://www.mysql.com/. These all come with pretty good documentation, try and go through them.

Does this mean it doesn't run on XP, ME, 2000, etc..?Apache.org FAQ wrote: Apache:
* runs on Windows NT/9x, Netware 5.x and above, OS/2, and most versions of Unix, as well as several other operating systems
I have ME and im pretty sure it won't run on that (I've tried), but I'm getting XP for my new comp and 2000 for this one, but I wanna make sure they're compatible..
I use it myself on 2000 with no problems, and I've known of it running fine on XP and Server 2003 (I would imagine that's what they meant by NT, since they're all based on the same core technology). I don't see why it wouldn't work on ME if it works alright on 9x, but when somebody says there's a problem with ME, odds are that there is. ME is not an operating system really, so much as a "greatest hits" collection of bugs.
No, there are dynamic IP hosting solutions available if your budget is low or (nearly) nonexistant. Try http://www.dyndns.org/ for some options.
