I run my own using a Celeron 800, 160Mb RAM, running on Linux. Keep up with security updates and make sure that your ISP allows you to set up a web server (I actually remembered this point this time). Many do now allow it in thier contracts, so double check. If it is allowed, you will need a static IP address and a registered domain.

It will also probably be suggested for simplicity to just find yourself some free, or cheap web hosting instead of running your own server.
