OK, by looking at the way you ask this question it's quite obvious that you are a newbie when it comes to webhosting. To make this clear: what you need is not a webserver software on your PC, as self-hosting is only recommended for very experienced people who have spent years running and maintaining a server. What you actually need is a webhost: this is someone (a company usually) that houses the server and manages their connection to the internet. They have the experience to do so. They protect you from your server getting hacked. You pay them for their service. There can't be a general recommendation on what webhost to sign up with, as this depends on your location and what you plan to do with your website. Take a look at the threads "
Web Hosting for Coppermine photo Album?" and "
Free web host supporting the Copermine requirements". It wouldn't have been asked too much from you to read those threads even before posting.
If you insist on having your own server on your local PC it would make sense that you post your OS, CPU speed, memory and free hard drive size etc.
Simply because you want a server it doesn't mean that you'll be able to get one up-and-running. I want to fly to Mars, however no matter how hard I try I doubt that I will ever be able to build my own spaceship. The only thing I could possibly to is applying for a job @ NASA. In the meantime, I'll keep watching SF movies.
The way you ask your question shows little respect for the supporters: you seem to have realized that this question has been asked and answered before and is invalid, yet still you insist that people look into your particular issue. I suggest you review your attitude. This board is not meant for discussing hosting issues nor is it dedicated to help people set up their own webserver. Instead, this whole site is meant for coppermine issues only. Yours is not a coppermine issue, so it is simply invalid. We don't care what server you use, ,it's none of your business. Our only advice is not to go for self-hosting at all, with such little knowledge as you have.
The other thread you started didn't get locked, so you could have replied to it. You have been told there where to find webhosting. Merging this thread with the other one you started
