learn Linux first

Answer 2

LAMPP on linux
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql
sudo mysql_install_db
sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

XAMPP on Windows
download from www.apachefriends.com and install

Multiplatform servers can be created in Java and Python using dedicated libraries lots of tutorials around

to make your server available from the internet and not only from your lan you have to enable port forwarding on your router for the local ip of your server.

in case your public ip is dynamic (changed randomly by the ISP) you have to regiter for a dynamic DNS service like Noip or alike so that you will be able to access your site from your registered domain address and not your public IP.
Only the tip of the iceberg....
for a beginner I suggest using a free hosting provider.
With the income gained from the website, upgrade to premium services if really necessary.
