A few months ago I was considering doing this, hosting my wordpress blog on this computer, but after considering all the disadvantages of self-hosting I chose someone to do it for me in a local web-hosting company for 4UKP a month, which is a very good price. Since then we've worked together to reduce the sites footprint in size and speed it up. Now I take full backups of it twice a day, and they just take a few minutes over a distance of about 25 miles. I can only suggest you do the same as it saves a lot of heartache and worry too.
