1. Could I use my PC ( Compaq 350mhz,, 64mb of RAM, plenty of hard drive) as a server?

you could use a PC Xt as a web server if you really wanted...

There are many factors to consider like # of vistors per day, # of hits per day, amount of server side programs running, traffic in MB per day, etc....

2. If I could get a ADSL line would that be sufficient for web hosting purposes or would I need to get a more expensive T-1 line?

See response to 1.

3. internic.net

That all said I doubt you can beat the price of virtual hosting except for large applications. Customers always come to me wanting a web server then I explain the costs and show them virtual hosting and they always choose virtual hosting....
