What steps do I have to take to set my computer up for web hosting before I purchase a hosting plan?

Question
-
I want to use my computer to host a website. I am going to purchase a hosting plan, but I want to get everything else taken care of before I purchase it. Most needed answers:
Should I use the xampp server or something else?
How do I enable remote access?
How do I set up a main web page with the hosting server?
...additional information
And then, I can work on getting a job so I can purchase a hosting plan.

This query has nothing to do with Activation or Validation problems - and almost nothing to do with what you perceive as your options.I suggest that you repost your question (with a LOT more detail) in a more relevant forum, such as Windows Answersmay be a good place to start.
