Make sure to read the Terms of Service for your provider. Few of them, if any, allow users to run websites from their home machines/connections. If they don't, you could probably do it ethically if your bandwidth was going to be low or the usage was chiefly personal but if your account got suspended you might be out a lot of time and effort and have to start over with a new provider or a VPS.

These guys are in the US but I had a very good 2-year experience with them on a VPS account: JohnCompanies. If I needed one again, I'd go back to them in a second.
