I would like to know how I can host my own site. There are a lot of websites that you can buy a domain from take for example you can go there, buy a domain, and then pay X amount of dollars a month, and they host your site, but I want to know what they have and I need to buy in order to host my own website and domain for free.

As jpw indicated, you need a 'Static' internet address to host a web site. Most ISPs give you 'Dynamic' IP addresses that constantly change. They usually charge extra for a static IP.

Probably not worth the effort.
Almost all of your post reads as one sentence (very annoying).

Actually Sci-Guy the poster has two sentences with a full stop ('period' in your language) at the end of each. One of them has commas which provide pauses in the sentence which is correct. Also his sentences deal with the same subject so paragraphing is not necessary.
Nothing wrong with it as far as I can see!

download something like XAMPP it comes with everything.
then you open your firewall.
now your computer is a server.
on a remote computer enter your IP address and your computers IP (subnet) in the address bar.
should work

My bad. My failing eyesight didn't see the commas. My apologies to the OP.
P.S. It's a "full stop" in my language, too.
