It can be done space, so if it's just an experimental "learning" type thing, and not based on being fuckin' cheap, then go for it... I'll even give ya tips.

I host from home myself. But... they're very low bandwidth sites, not 50 gig-a-day shit, I got a T1 pipe in here, and I certainly am not running Winblows 98. Plus I have an extensive background in networking, hardware & software from my AT&T days and beyond, so I know what I'm doing. I host some stuff here, because I can.

But I certainly would never recommend it with the parameters you've given and certainly not for the sole purpose of saving a buck. Cuz you're NOT gonna save a buck. You'll spend MORE trying to set yourself up to do it right than you would by just getting some pro hosting. I've spent shitloads of money on my setup. Again,... because I can. I do this shit for fun man.

However, if you're really interested... and you're set on doing it... hit me someday when I got some time & I'm in a good mood, and I'll tell ya anything you wanna know.
