My own home web server does what I want it to do.  Easy to install..

This is easy to build if like me you built machines on contract for 
IBM and Compaq.  I can just throw something together from some 
leftover scrap for about £50.  Choice of software ? ......

Ubuntu or Fedora or CentOS or Scientific Linux will quickly and easily 
install Apache and PHP and Wordpress or whatever.  Copy and paste from 
this page...

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP

Keeping this going takes about 60 seconds a week.  Unlike winduhs 
server which is horrendous.  Update.. reboot.. reboot.. reboot ... 
update... reboot . 2 days later.  With GNU/Linux you just apt-get 
update.  apt-get upgrade.  However, in your case.  I'd just carry a 
USB stick around.  Probably does what you want.
