Basically, nothing. You could do all sorts of fancy things to increase performance, security, reliability, etc. but im hardly the correct person to give you information about that.

Just setup IIS in the standard way (which is doumented all over the place, just Google it or check out MSDN). Obviously, you will need to be constantly connected to the Net.

Your homepage will be:
http://your-ip/

You can register a domain if you have a static IP.

Regards.
