Self-hosted Website

For the past few days I've been trying, unsuccesfully, to set up a server to host my own website from home. I was thinking of doing it from an Ubuntu Server Virtual Machine in my PC. Really, how hard can it be? I'm not thinking about any kind of web-app, with complex functionality, or even something critically important to worry a lot about safety. Well, it turns out, plenty. I just can't get it right for some reason. I guess I'll have to drop that project for now and come back to it when I am a bit more knowlegeable.

The only thing I haven't tried yet is to host it from my PC directly instead of a VM, I hear that can be rather insecure, but maybe just for the lulz, it won't even be up all the time anyway, it's just so I can say "I did that. You know why? Because I can."
