There is no "cluster in the sky" however FreeBSD comes with add-on
packages such as the Apache web server that can be installed to
serve up web pages from your PC.  All you need is to register a
DNS entry or just plain give out your IP address to people.

You'll want to talk to your ISP aobut getting a static IP address
and possibly a dedicated line, that way your address doesn't change
every time you connect to the internet.
