possible to host from cable dhcp connection?

I would like to host my own site, if possible. I just got a Powerlink cable internet connection. If it's like my last cable ISP, then my IP will stay the same for as long as I do not shut down my cable modem.

So, will I be able to host my web site, from a technical perspective?

(From my limited technical understanding, it seems like there would have to be a way to do this.)

If it is possible, will my cable ISP be able to detect this and shut me down?

I am just trying to find out if it's possible to host my site on my computer, or do I just need to shop a domain hosting service. (I am currently using Hypermart for a site for my wife's business, and I'm looking to host another domain name I've just registered).

I am running XP Pro, by the way.

Thanks in advance to any generous helpful types who take the time to reply!

edit: also, this site is just going to be a personal/family site.
