You can host on your own machine, but consider this.
Your PC will have to be on all the time, you will also be reliant on your ISP for uptime, also your site will be slower loading than if you host it on a webhost.

Only host it yourself if your site is a very low traffic site. I mean real low. Else host it on a webhost. In fact you could host it on a free webhost and get the best of both worlds.
