I would suggest using www.ipaska.com or www.made2own.com
Ipaska seems to be a little bit more reliable. It is very cheap and you don't have to bother with setting up a server.

www.racknine.com as well.

For a single site or only a couple it would be cheaper to use a commerical host...UNLESS you are wanting to learn server administration first hand... If you want to learn more about it the check out www.dslwebserver.com
