hosting?

[barbp]

does anyone know of any sites which would be able to explain how to use my own computer as a host for a website?

i run a college club and i'm thinking of hosting it on my own computer if it's possible.. i have an old duron pc, 20gb, 256mb, windows 2000 server software which i never installed yet

also.. i currently have a site at http://baruchpaintball.tripod.com

i built it using the site builder that they offer. would it be easy to host myself and just transfer all the info from the site builder to my hard drive?
