In a variety of ways, each having pros and cons.

Obviously, since this is the first requirement to actually having a network.

Get e-mail accounts from your ISP, I would think.

That really depends on what you mean by "registering my web site".
You don't register a web site, you register a *domain*.
Which in and of itself does not give you the option of running anthing -
it merely designates you the owner of the domain.
To run your own services at home for the domain your address has to
appear in the DNS records for the domain.
Depending on what and how you registered it this will be more or less
involved - or, indeed, possible.

1. Get a web and mail server running 24/7 on a local machine
2. Register a domain
3. Add a hostname for the webserver (like
www.) that points to you
4. point the MX record to your machine for mail services.
5. test ;-)
