Even if you only have windows XP you may host your own site in your own computer. I guess anyone has their own reasons why not to choose a decent host.
My reason is if I want to create a 2GB video for example it's better to show a client from my own computer. Besides, you can use it to access your computer from anywhere.
You need to install ISS microsoft server. The upload is of course much slower, but hey, you can use 80GB in your own pc.

You can create an account and download a free app so your ip will be updated each time you reconnet.
Hope you find it useful.
