I heard that it's possible to turn our home computer into web server where i can host my website on my computer and make available to public view over the internet. So i was curious, if it's possible, why would anyone buy web hosting when we all have own computers.
If it's possible, please guide me "how to" and what is advantages or disadvantages about it.

Pros
Cons
- Usually much slower connection (most home connections have high download, low upload which is what a web server would use primarily).
- Most ISPs don't allow it
- If it goes down, you are the only one who can reboot/fix it.
You can install web hosting software on your computer. It is available for every major OS. I'd recommend getting a dedicated machine and installing Linux though.
