I'd look into managed hosting. Rent it monthly, rather than a big initial purchase, for something you might not want/use 6 months from now. Then you are not responsible for server maintenance, bandwidth, etc. Just buy your domain name, get your external IP from them, and let DNS do the rest.
Otherwise, you're looking at buying hardware (something with a raid array), ISP, static IP, domain names, DNS updates, etc...
