Help creating a server!!!?

ok I have an iMac G5 Intel with Mac OS X Leopard. I want to partition it so it's half personal computer and half server. I want to use the tserver for web hosting and file sharing. I have some of the Server admin tools from Apple but not the full release of Mac OS X Server. if there any way that I can make my website available over the entire web with just this computer (basically how do I create a server with it :P)

Thanks so much!

    You can actually download free Web Server software from download.com; which you can specify a folder on your hard drive to be the 'Web' folder with port 80 directing to it so your IP address becomes your URL. Check it out.

    You need a domain to access over the Internet.

    Hostgator webhosting has Easy and Powerful free site builder. You can build a professional and good look website in minutes.

    You may read some reviews, user feedback, and speed test here:

    And if you think you need the most relible solution and full control,you'd better buy a dedicated server with about $89/month. Read dedicated server review here: http://www.dedicated-server-review.org/

    I recommend strarting not with a mac server but a Linux server running apache, etc. You need a domain to access over the Internet. You also have to open port 80 on your router.
