I had seen a post in which it was taught how to create your own hosting/server on your computer (but the problem is... You got to keep it running all the time.. It shuts down and the website is down). So I was thinking that considering the money factor Pi can be a great server. P.S. : Not much knowledge about server and all. But still I did understand the working at a very amateur level.

You can run sudo apt-get install apache2 on your pi to install Apache2 Webserver. This will install to /var/www by default where you can change the files. The web server will automatically start on boot. Also, if running this on a home network, you'll need to portforward your router. For more information and how to install apache2, check out this link. Also, start the webserver with sudo service apache2 start, stop the webserver with sudo service apache2 stop, and restart the webserver with sudo service apache2 restart.
