Now this really depends on how much space you are likely to use. There are a number of places where you can set up your own web pages - but typically they will have limited storage space.... although most will allow you to pay for some additional space.
I can't tell you bout setting up your PC as a server for this purpose - although it is possible - but performance may be an issue if you're expecting much traffic.
One of the bummers with the free places (i.e. geocities, yahoo etc) is that they don';t allow your own domain name - it's always www.geocities.com/your_name_here sort of thing. (maybe not always - but I've got that issue)...anyway - search on google for free web hosting...see what you can find.
