I sure there are some decent Web servers available for Macs, especially the
recent ones that are Wintel-based and use OS/X (which is FreeBSD-based), even
though Macs are only targeted as artsy-fartsy workstation and home-user systems.
If you have to drop it, I'd choose a Linux distro, especially since you don't
already have Windows software to which you're hog-tied. There's 20,000 files in
the Debian software repository.

Should I get Windows or Linux?
I don't know if an emulator would work, or if I would just have to get a pc

is still free, and allows linking up to five domains.

I've been running a number of low volume sites on a 1.5M dsl with 128k
uplink for five+ years.
dyndns is excellent but now charge for new accounts and there are free
services available.
You didn't say if you were Linux or Windows. I use Linux, on an older
box with ddclient to update dns. The Linux box is also firewall and smtp
server.
You say you want to learn? If so I'd forget the cms and include mysql.
With html, php and mysql you can build from scratch. You really need a
end goal if you're going to use a cms ie it's mostly about config).
I'd also forget the water and buy a six pack.

You'll need:
- broadband Internet service, with AT LEAST 384K uplink
- a DynDNS account or similar, if said service doesn't include a
static IP
- your own registered domain name or a subdomain from DynDNS, etc.
- a service or daemon to update the DNS records for said
domain/subdomain,
if not a static IP, or a router (e.g. D-Link DGL-4300) that can do it
- a Web server: Apache, Xerver, Sambar, etc.
- Firewall!
- knowledge of site and system security measures
- knowledge of log analysis
- CMS (content management system), probably, unless you're a masochist
- 2 cups of water and a blender ;-)

Been there, doing that
