Well, have apache installed, create an index.html in /var/www/ and then people can view it when they enter your IP address... you can view it by entering http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1

Next step would be that you use some dyndns service to get yourself a "domain name" or if you have a dedicated IP you can buy your own domain, setup a nameserver and run the domain through your computer.

It just depends on what you want to do...

Is your server in a local network (behind a router)? Do you have dynamic IP addresses? If so, get a domain name at dyndns.org and make it point to your public IP address. Also tell your router to update that domain whenever your public IP address changes. That way, you can type your dyndns address into your browser to reach your web site.
