A web server is software installed on a computer that allows other computers to access specific files on that computer/server. There are many reasons to create your own home servers. For example: file sharing, so you can download files from your home computer from anywhere or you can create a web site on own server etc.
A server network is a computer that links devices together. and a desktop is known as a PC(Personal Computer) for a home user, business, etc use.
Your hard drive can't work as a server on it's own. A server is simply a computer running server software. If your question was, "can my computer work as a server without it's hard drive," the answer is no. Your computer can't work at all without a hard drive. You can buy a home server for as little as $100, which you can connect to your router for remote access.
Depends on what type of server. If you just mean for a file server for your home network, then yes. Very easily. But this is technically not a server. If you are looking to create a domain for a large network, use it as a DNS Server, Active Directory, or Web server, then chances are your home PC does not have the specifications required to do this.
The POP protocol, by default, downloads messages to your computer and then deletes them from the mail server. If you leave all of your email on a primary computer (for example, your office computer) but want to have access to recently received email on a secondary computer (a home computer), you should leave your messages on the server for a limited period of time.
A local computer is the machine you are currently logged into, a remote computer is a computer you are accessing from your local computer. So, if I connect to my home computer from work, my home computer is the remote computer, and my work computer is the local. Conversely, if I connect to my work computer from home, my work computer is the remote computer, and my home computer is the local.
Cloud computing is a server database that allows the computer's owner. There are many different databases that you can set up, allowing you to easily set up the server for your home based computer.

Home Server? never heard of it. You should be able to just install the CD and boot from it. Most Operating Systems will load just fine.
Using a home server can be more secure.You can secure your home server by putting a password on your server so no one can access your home server connection.
