It wouldn't be a good idea to host websites on your local machine if you are very new to it.

There are alot of variables that you need to take care of when hosting. Most importantly is security. With services running on your machine and without the proper patches, you are asking for trouble.

Shared hosting are very cheap these days. Just look at the ad forum here.
