There are some major questions you need to be asked before setting this up.
What kind of site are you running?
How much traffic do you think will be coming to the site and how much do you want?
Are you hosting this out of your house?
Do you have a secure network in order to let random people off the net into your personal network?
Are you willing to upgrade your bandwidth in order to accommodate your site? Also, are you willing to buy the equipment to make your house network secure too?
I usually recommend letting a company do this for you, as there are a lot of things they can do that you can not do in your house, unless you have the money. Most of the time it's better to pay godaddy.com $20 a month and not worry about have Port 80 open in your network.
Now, if you want to learn PHP/mySQL and learn how to run Apache, then this is prefect for you. Run a server in your house to LEARN, then when you have the basics down, move your site to a bigger web host. This I can recommend doing.
