As a beginner you definitely don't want to host a public site on your
own machine! You would have to

* spend a lot of thoughts about how to secure the machine
* think about and implement a firewall concept
* get a fast connection (a DSL uplink is not fast)
* get a dynamic DNS name
* keep the machine running 24/7
* …

Additionally, if you don't want to become a part of a botnet:

* follow security mailinglists
* keep the used software as up-to-date as possible
* …

The Internet is no playground. If you're not exactly sure about what
you're doing, don't connect your own server to the Net! It will be an
invitation for hackers and a huge security risk for yourself and others.

Instead get some cheap hosting package and upload your page to their
properly maintained server. It will be faster, more reliable and - most
important - much more secure.

If you just want to show your site to some of your friends every now and
then, you might want to have a look at VNC or TeamViewer. But if it's
intended to be public and available 24/7, get a hosting package.
